Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site, how it is used, which kinds of third parties are involved, and the choices and rights you have. The site has no user accounts, so we collect far less than many websites, but some data is still processed to run the site and show ads.

Who We Are and What the GoldPlayPot.com Policy Covers

GoldPlayPot.com is an ad-supported gaming content site publishing news, release coverage, mod guides, gameplay guides and reviews. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the operators of the site.

This policy covers information collected through the website and through emails you send us. It does not cover third-party websites we link to, such as game stores, mod hosts or platform support pages. Those sites have their own privacy policies.

Information We Collect

There are no accounts, logins, comments or payment forms on the site. The information we handle falls into three groups.

Server Logs

Like most websites, our hosting and security systems automatically record technical details when you visit. This can include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages requested, and the date and time of the request. These logs help us keep the site running, diagnose errors and protect against abuse.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our partners may use cookies, pixels, local storage and similar technologies. These can be used to remember your choices, measure how the site is used, and deliver and measure advertising. Some cookies are set by third parties rather than by us.

Emails You Send Us

If you email hello@goldsplaypot.com, we receive your email address, name if you include it, and whatever you choose to share in your message and attachments. We use this only to read and respond to your message, act on tips or corrections, and keep a record of the conversation.

How We Use Information

We do not sell the contents of your emails, and we do not use them for advertising. Where the law requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on legitimate interests (running and securing the site), consent (where required for certain cookies), and legal obligations.

• To operate, maintain and secure the website.
• To understand which pages are useful and improve our content, using aggregated analytics.
• To show advertising that pays for the site, which may be personalized where permitted by law and your choices.
• To respond to emails, tips, corrections and business inquiries.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

Third Parties: Analytics and Advertising Partners

We work with third-party service providers for hosting, security, analytics and advertising. Analytics providers help us count visits and understand how pages are used. Advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, and measure results. Depending on your location and settings, ads may be personalized based on your activity across websites.

These partners process data under their own privacy policies. We may also share information if required by law, to protect the rights and safety of the site and its users, or as part of a business transfer such as a sale of the site.

Opting Out of Analytics and Ads

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as expected. If analytics provided by Google are used on the site, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Many ad partners also offer opt-out tools and browser-based controls for personalized advertising.

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track

We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where required by applicable law. If your browser or extension sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising for that browser.

There is no common industry standard for older Do Not Track signals, so the site does not currently respond to them. GPC is the signal we recognize.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, laws such as the GDPR in Europe and the UK, and state privacy laws in the United States including the CCPA, may give you rights over your personal information. These can include the right to:

• Know what personal information is collected and how it is used.
• Access or receive a copy of your personal information.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Delete your personal information, subject to legal exceptions.
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising.
• Object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent where processing relies on it.
• Complain to your local data protection authority.

Data Retention and Security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, such as server logs for security and emails for as long as a conversation is relevant. We use reasonable safeguards to protect data, but no website or email system is perfectly secure.

Children’s Privacy and Changes to This Policy

The site is a general-audience gaming site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, in line with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we will delete it.

We may update this policy as the site, our partners or the law change. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Questions about this policy can be sent to hello@goldsplaypot.com.
