This Privacy Policy explains how GameTime ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and protects user information. By using GameTime, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect limited information necessary to enhance your experience in GameTime:
Personal Email: Used for account creation and management.
User Preferences: Includes saved favorites, genres, game progress, and collections to provide personalized features and recommendations.
In-App Mentions: If another user tags you in a comment using "@username", an internal notification is stored in your account to notify you within the app. These are not push notifications and do not trigger emails or third-party tracking.
Advertisements
GameTime displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob to generate revenue and support the app. All ads are non-personalized, meaning they are based on contextual information such as the app's content and do not involve tracking your behavior or activity. No personal data is collected or used for targeted advertising. For more information, refer to Google's Privacy Policy.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services to enhance app features:
RAWG API: Used to provide detailed information about games.
YouTube API: Used to fetch videos based on predefined filters and searches specific to the selected game. Users can only search within the context of the selected game and cannot perform general searches.
No personal data is shared with these services.
RSS Feeds
GameTime aggregates news and articles from the following third-party gaming sources via publicly available RSS feeds: Polygon, GameSpot, IGN, and Kotaku.
The content fetched from these sources includes the title, description, publication date, and an optional image. A link to the original article is provided for users to read the full content directly on the sources's website.
GameTime does not modify the content of the RSS feeds.
User Control and Data Rights
Account Deletion: You can delete your account at any time. All associated data will be permanently removed from our servers.
Access and Removal: Users in applicable regions (e.g., EU under GDPR) have the right to access, correct, delete, or transfer their data. Contact us at "support@gametime-app.com" for such requests.
Push Notifications
GameTime may send you push notifications to inform you about activity related to your account and in-app interactions. This includes:
Game invite requests from other players in your group.
Updates and announcements related to new features, events, or app improvements.
Notifications when another user mentions you or interacts with your content.
These notifications are only sent if you have explicitly enabled them in your settings. You may disable push notifications at any time through your device or app settings. We do not use push notifications for marketing purposes or share your data with third parties for advertising. All notifications are directly related to in-app functionality and community interaction.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your data. However, no method of storage is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
We may update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices. Significant updates will be communicated through the app.
