Other Uses of Your Personal Information

We may collect non-personally identifiable information about you during your interaction with our site. This information may include technical information about the browser or type of device you're using. This information is used purely for analytics and tracking the number of visitors to our site.

3. Potential Consequences of Processing

By creating an account on our site or related services, you may make personal data about yourself public and accessible to others through your profile or interactions such as forum posts. This may, in some cases, constitute special category protected data that is considered manifestly made public by you.

Due to the public nature of information posted on our sites and services, it may be possible for third parties to derive identifying personal data from posts by reading, inference, supplemental research, or automated extraction and analysis. You may choose to use the service without posting data or engaging in network interactions. However, if you do not accept the risks of such usage, you may not use the services. You are free to use your real name or a pseudonym of your choosing as your username. You may request your username be changed to a pseudonym at any time if your current username contains personally identifying information by using our contact form.

Some game services are hosted wholly or in part by the game's developer/publisher or other third parties. Due to this, some information about you or your game session may be exposed and possibly collected by those parties.

4. Keeping Your Data Secure

We are committed to ensuring that any information you provide to us is secure. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable measures and procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

We use encryption (HTTPS/TLS) to protect data transmitted to and from our site. However, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee security. You use the Service at your own risk and are responsible for taking reasonable measures to secure your account.

The data transfer mechanism used by game clients and the servers they connect to is entirely at the discretion of the developers of the software. Users should note that communications within game software may not be encrypted during transmission and that this is beyond our control and liability.

5. Embedded Content

Posts, comments, and messages on our sites and services may contain third-party embeds, which may in some cases collect and store personal data. The use of personal data by embedded content providers is not covered by this statement, but by the privacy policies of those sites or services.

6. Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files set by us on your computer that allow us to provide certain functionality on our site, such as enabling you to log in or remembering certain preferences.

We have a detailed cookie policy that provides more information about the cookies we set.

7. Payment Processors

These companies may collect and store personal data related to your billing information and history to provide their services and to prevent fraud and other abuses, or as required by law for tax and accounting purposes. When you perform transactions on this site, you agree that you have read, understood, and agreed to the privacy policy of the processor you choose at checkout.
