Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you visit and interact with our console gaming discovery platform (the "Site").
Personal information we collect
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain technical information about your device, including details about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device. As you browse, we may also collect information about the pages you view (such as game overviews, reviews, or guides), how you navigate the Site, and what websites or search terms referred you here. We refer to this automatically collected data as "Device Information".
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- "Log files" track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- "Web beacons", "tags", and "pixels" are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
If you choose to contact us (for example, via our contact form), subscribe to updates, or request information about our editorial content, we may collect information such as your name, email address, and any other details you choose to provide. We refer to this information as "Contact Information".
When we talk about "Personal Information" in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to both Device Information and Contact Information.
How do we use your personal information?
We use the Contact Information that we collect to respond to your messages, provide support, send you information you have requested (such as editorial updates), and manage any ongoing communication with you.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us protect the Site from potential security risks (in particular, through IP address and usage monitoring) and, more generally, to improve and optimize the Site’s performance and content for console gaming audiences.

We may also share your Personal Information where required to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other lawful request for information, or to protect our rights and the safety of our users.
