Privacy Policy

We keep things simple. Here's exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control it.

This Privacy Policy applies to guidegg.com ("GuideGG", "we", "us", or "our"). By using our website, you agree to the practices described below. If you have questions, email us at admin@guidegg.com.

01

Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you give us directly, and information collected automatically when you visit the site.

Information you provide:

  • Name and email address when you use our contact form
  • Any message content you submit to us

Information collected automatically:

  • Pages visited, time spent, and navigation paths (via Google Analytics)
  • Browser type, device type, and operating system
  • Approximate geographic location (country/city level)
  • Referring website or search engine
  • IP address (anonymised where possible)

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as financial information, passwords, or government ID numbers.

02

How We Use It

We use the information we collect only for legitimate operational purposes:

  • To respond to messages sent through our contact form
  • To understand how visitors use the site so we can improve content
  • To monitor site performance and fix technical issues
  • To detect and prevent abuse or spam
  • To serve relevant advertisements (see Section 4)

We do not sell your personal information to any third party. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.

03

Cookies & Tracking

GuideGG uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser — to make the site work properly and to collect analytics data.

Types of cookies we use:

  • Essential cookies — required for the site to function (session management, security)
  • Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to track page visits and usage patterns
  • Advertising cookies — set by our ad partners to serve and measure ads

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect some functionality of the site. Most browsers also support opt-out extensions for tracking technologies like Google Analytics.

04

Advertising

GuideGG displays advertisements to keep the site free. We work with third-party advertising partners who may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your interests.

Our current advertising partners may include:

  • Google AdSense / Google Ad Manager
  • Mediavine
  • Adsterra

These partners operate under their own privacy policies and may collect data independently. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or Your Online Choices.

We do not control what data our advertising partners collect. Please review their individual privacy policies for full details.

05

Third-Party Links

Our guides and articles may contain links to external websites, game stores, official documentation, or other resources. These sites have their own privacy policies and we have no control over their content or data practices.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party site. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any site you visit from a link on GuideGG.

06

Data Retention

Contact form submissions (name, email, message) are retained in our email inbox and deleted after they are no longer needed, typically within 12 months.

Analytics data collected by Google Analytics is retained according to Google's standard retention settings (26 months by default). You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

07

Your Rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:

  • Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Correction — ask us to correct inaccurate data
  • Deletion — request that we delete your personal data
  • Objection — object to our processing of your data
  • Portability — request your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, email us at admin@guidegg.com. We will respond within 30 days.

If you are located in the EU or UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

08

Children's Privacy

GuideGG is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at admin@guidegg.com and we will delete it promptly.

09

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
