Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your rights. It applies to information collected through our website and related services.

For information about cookies and similar technologies, please see our Cookie Policy.

Information we collect

Information you provide

• Contact information (e.g., email) when you contact us or subscribe to updates (if enabled).
• Form submissions (e.g., comments or contact forms, if enabled) and any content you include.

Information collected automatically

• Usage data (pages visited, device type, approximate location, referral source) via analytics tools.
• Technical data (IP address, browser, OS, timestamps) for security, performance, and analytics.
• Cookies and similar technologies; see Cookie Policy.

How we use information

• Operate, maintain, and secure our website.
• Measure and improve content performance and user experience.
• Respond to inquiries and provide support.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
• Track affiliate referrals (e.g., Amazon Associates) when you click outbound retail links.

Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK)

• Consent: analytics, affiliate/advertising, and certain functionality cookies (where required).
• Legitimate interests: site security, fraud prevention, essential performance and troubleshooting.
• Contract: if you request a service that requires us to process your data (e.g., reply to a contact request).
• Legal obligation: where processing is necessary to comply with applicable laws.

Analytics

We use either Google Analytics 4 (GA4) or Matomo (self-hosted) to understand how visitors use our site and improve content.

• GA4 may process IP addresses (with IP masking where configured), device and event data. See Google’s policies for details.
• Matomo (if enabled) can be configured to respect Do Not Track and anonymize IPs.

Analytics runs based on your cookie consent where required. You can change your preferences at any time via Cookie Settings.

Affiliate links

ProGamerWorld participates in affiliate programs (e.g., Amazon Associates). When you click an outbound link to a retailer, cookies or tracking parameters may be used to attribute the referral and calculate commissions—at no extra cost to you. Please review the retailer’s privacy/cookie policies for details on their processing.

How we share information

• Service providers (e.g., hosting, security, caching, analytics) under appropriate agreements.
• Legal and compliance when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
• Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (if applicable).

We do not sell personal information. We do not show personalized display ads on our site.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data (e.g., HTTPS, security plugins such as Wordfence/iThemes, and caching/CDN performance tools). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Data retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Analytics and cookie durations are listed in the Cookie Policy.

International transfers

Where data is transferred outside your country (e.g., to the United States), we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or comparable mechanisms, as applicable.

Your privacy rights

You may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, and data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time (this will not affect processing prior to withdrawal).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

California residents (CPRA) – optional

Subject to eligibility, you may request to know, correct, or delete personal information, and opt-out of “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. If applicable, use our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page.
