3. Aggregated and Anonymized Insights
GameLink may analyze usage data in aggregated and anonymized form to understand trends, platform performance, and general patterns across games and channels.
We may publish or share general industry trends based on aggregated and anonymized data that cannot reasonably be used to identify any individual developer, game, or their specific performance metrics.
4. Third-Party Sharing
4.1 No Sale of Personal Data
GameLink does not sell personal data or individual game performance data to third parties.
4.2 Limited Disclosure
We may share information only in the following cases:
- With service providers who help operate GameLink (under confidentiality obligations)
- To comply with valid legal process (such as subpoenas or court orders)
- To protect the rights, safety, and integrity of GameLink and its users
4.3 Introductions and Opportunities
From time to time, GameLink may identify promising projects or notable trends based on aggregated platform activity.
Any direct introductions, referrals, or sharing of identifiable game or developer information with third parties are made only with the developer's explicit consent. GameLink does not disclose private metrics or game performance data in an identifiable form without the developer's explicit consent.
5. Data Ownership and Control
- Developers retain ownership of their games and related data.
- You may update or remove your profile information at any time.
- You may stop using GameLink and request account deletion.
Upon account deletion, we remove your personal information. Anonymized, aggregated statistics that cannot be linked back to you may be retained for system integrity, analytics, and reporting.
6. Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as necessary to provide the GameLink service.
Click and usage data is retained for analytics purposes and may be aggregated and anonymized over time. Aggregated and anonymized data may be retained for longer periods for analytics, reporting, and product improvement.
7. Cookies and Tracking
GameLink uses minimal cookies or local storage strictly necessary for authentication and service operation.
We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking for advertising. Analytics are used only to operate and improve the GameLink service.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including:
- Secure access controls
- Limited internal access to sensitive data
- Ongoing monitoring for unauthorized activity
No system is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data responsibly.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information. Contact us to make a request.
10. Age Requirement
GameLink is intended for game developers and businesses. By creating an account, you represent that you are at least 13 years old.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as GameLink evolves.
When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date. For material changes, we will provide additional notice as required by law.
Continued use of GameLink after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
