• We have a legitimate interest in doing so (e.g., site analytics to improve content quality), provided that interest is not overridden by your privacy rights.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with:

• Service providers: Third-party vendors who assist us in operating the Site (e.g., email delivery services, analytics providers). These providers are contractually bound to keep your information confidential and use it only for the services they provide to us.

7. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., game developer sites, platform stores). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.
