Privacy Policy

Contact: [email protected]

Welcome to ggwpacademy! We post updates, tips, and insights about gaming to help you level up your play. This privacy policy explains how we handle personal data when you visit our website. We keep things simple and clear, and we respect your right to privacy every step of the way.

This policy covers:

• What data we collect
• Why we collect it
• How we use it
• How you can change or delete your data
• What rights you have under the law

We follow privacy laws like:

• The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• The UK GDPR
• Brazil’s LGPD
• California’s CCPA/CPRA

We don’t sell your data. Ever.

What We Collect

When you visit ggwpacademy, we may collect a few types of information — but only what we need to help run the site smoothly and keep in touch with you.

We collect:

• Email addresses – if you sign up for our newsletter or send us a question
• Name or screen name – if you leave a comment or want to personalize your emails
• IP address and browser type – collected automatically through tools like Google Analytics

We do not collect:

• Credit card or payment information
• Your location or GPS
• Health, race, gender, or sensitive details
• Login passwords (we don’t offer user accounts)
• Game logins or external account info

If you just read the blog and don’t leave a comment or sign up, the only info we may see is a scrambled IP address in our stats — and we can’t connect it back to you personally.

Why We Collect This Data

We collect your information for a few simple reasons:

• To send you the newsletter if you asked for it
• To reply to your questions or comments
• To block spam or fake messages
• To track how many people visit our blog, so we can improve it
• To keep the website working well for your browser or device

We will never use your data to:

• Make automatic decisions
• Change prices or services
• Target you with ads
• Score or judge you with algorithms

Legal Reasons (GDPR)

Under Article 6 of the GDPR, here’s the legal basis we use for collecting your data:

• Consent – when you tick a box or fill out a form to sign up for our newsletter or send a message
• Legitimate interest – when we track anonymous traffic or block spam to protect our site and improve content

If you ever change your mind, you can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us or clicking “unsubscribe” in any newsletter.

Who We Share Your Data With

We don’t sell or rent your data. We only share it with tools that help us run the site — and only when necessary.

We currently use:

• Google Analytics – to understand traffic and improve page speed

Your Privacy Rights

Wherever you live, you have rights over your personal data. Here’s what you can ask us to do:

• Access – You can ask what data we hold
• Correct – Fix any errors in your email or name
• Delete – Ask us to remove your information completely
• Move (portability) – Get a copy of your data in a simple file
• Restrict – Limit how we use cookies or tracking
• Withdraw consent – Unsubscribe or stop us from using your data
• Complain – Contact your local privacy regulator

To use any of these rights, just email [email protected] and we’ll reply within 30 days.

Children’s Privacy

ggwpacademy does not target children under 13 and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from kids.

If you’re a parent and believe your child has submitted data, please email us at [email protected]. We will delete the data right away.

International Transfers

Our servers are located in the United States. If you are visiting from the EU, UK, or Brazil, this means your data may leave your country.

To protect your data when this happens:

• We use Standard Contractual Clauses where required
• We work only with partners that follow strong security rules

You can request more information about these protections by contacting us.

Security Measures

We work hard to keep your data safe:

• The website uses HTTPS encryption
• Data is protected with AES-level encryption where stored
• We follow privacy best practices for backups and limited access
• Our partners follow strict data protection agreements

Even with strong protections, no system is perfect. If something goes wrong, we act fast.

Data Breach Plan

If there’s ever a data breach that affects your personal information, we will:

• Email affected users
• Notify regulators if the law requires it
• Do both within 72 hours of discovering the issue

You can reach us at [email protected] for any security concerns.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We don’t keep your info longer than needed:

• Emails stay in our list for 12 months of no activity, or until you unsubscribe
• IP and browser data from analytics is kept for 1 year, then made anonymous
• Comment info stays public, but any connected email or IP is deleted after 1 year

You can ask us to delete anything sooner — just send a request.

Automated Decisions or AI

We do not use your data to make automatic decisions.

That means:

• No profiling
• No behavior scoring
• No AI decisions
• No price changes based on your info

We treat everyone equally, with no tracking-based differences.

Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers let you send a Do Not Track signal. Right now, there’s no global standard on what to do with it, so we currently ignore DNT requests.

But you can still:

• Use our cookie banner to turn off analytics
• Block cookies in your browser settings anytime

California Privacy Rights

If you live in California, you have extra rights under the CCPA and CPRA. You can:

• Ask what personal info we collected in the past 12 months
• Ask us to correct or delete that info
• Be treated equally no matter what privacy settings you choose

We do not sell or share your data for behavioral ads, so no “Do Not Sell” link is needed.

To use your rights, email us at [email protected].

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy when laws change or when we change how the site works.

If we make big updates:

• We’ll post a notice on the website
• If you’re on our email list, we’ll let you know there too

We keep older versions in our records if needed.
