1. Who we are

GamerSocial UK is the data controller for personal data processed through this website. You can reach us at hello@gamersocial-uk.com or 27 Curtain Road, Shoreditch, London, EC2A 3LT, United Kingdom.

2. What data we collect

We keep data collection to a minimum. Depending on how you use the Service, we may process:

Game data stored on your device: your virtual coin balance, wins, losses and best streak are saved locally in your browser using local storage. This information is not sent to us.
Contact details you provide: if you complete our contact form or newsletter sign-up, we process the name, email, optional phone number and message you submit.
Age confirmation: a simple flag confirming you stated you are 18 or older is stored locally in your browser.
Technical data: standard server logs and analytics that may include browser type, device and general location, used in aggregate to keep the site secure and improve it.

3. How we use data

To provide the games and remember your virtual progress on your device;
To respond to enquiries you send us;
To send game updates where you have opted in to our newsletter;
To maintain the security, performance and integrity of the Service;
To meet our legal obligations, including age-related safeguards.

4. Lawful bases

We rely on the following lawful bases under UK GDPR: consent (for non-essential cookies and marketing emails), legitimate interests (to operate, secure and improve the Service), and legal obligation (to comply with applicable laws). You can withdraw consent at any time.

5. Cookies and local storage

Cookies and similar technologies (including browser local storage) are small pieces of data stored on your device. We use them as follows:

Strictly necessary: remembering your age confirmation, your cookie choice, and your virtual coin progress. These are essential for the Service to work and do not require consent.
Analytics (optional): if you accept, we may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used in aggregate.

When you first visit, a cookie banner lets you accept all cookies or keep only essential ones. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser storage for this site. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies through their settings.

We do not sell your personal data. We only share it with trusted service providers (such as hosting or email providers) where necessary to run the Service, and with authorities where required by law. We keep contact-form data only as long as needed to handle your enquiry, and newsletter data until you unsubscribe. Game progress remains on your device until you clear it.

7. Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to access, correct, erase or restrict processing of your personal data, to object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

8. Contact and complaints

To make a privacy request, email hello@gamersocial-uk.com. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
