PlayParity collects information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, submit games for review, participate in community discussions, or contact us for support. This includes your name, email address, studio information, game details, and any other information you choose to provide.

We automatically collect certain information about your device and usage of our platform, including IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, access times, and pages viewed. We use cookies and similar technologies to collect this information.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services, including processing your submissions, facilitating publisher connections, and providing customer support. We also use your information to communicate with you about our services, send you updates, and respond to your inquiries.

Your information helps us personalize your experience, recommend relevant opportunities, and analyze platform usage to enhance our algorithms and matching systems.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent, except as described in this policy. We may share your information with publishers when you explicitly opt into matching opportunities or submit games for consideration.

We may disclose your information if required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transaction such as a merger or acquisition.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

We regularly review our security practices and update them as necessary to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of your data.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. We may retain certain information for longer periods as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time, subject to certain legal and operational requirements.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information. You can modify your account settings, opt out of certain communications, and control how your information is used for matching purposes.

If you are located in the European Union, you have additional rights under GDPR, including the right to data portability and the right to object to certain processing activities.

Our cookie policy provides detailed information about the types of cookies we use and how to manage them.

Third-Party Services

Our platform may integrate with third-party services for analytics, payment processing, and other functionality. These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services linked from our platform.
