Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-07-17. Last updated: 2026-07-17.

This Privacy Policy applies to the GameDB Wiki hub and the GameDB subdomain wiki network.

Advertising and Cookies

GameDB Wiki may use Google AdSense when ads are enabled on a page. Google may use cookies or similar technologies to select, deliver, measure, and secure ads based on visits to this site or other websites.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Users may also opt out of some third-party vendors by visiting aboutads.info.

Analytics

GameDB Wiki uses Google Analytics and Vercel Web Analytics to understand aggregate page traffic, referrers, page performance, and on-page engagement. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers and may collect page URL, referrer, device and browser information, approximate location, and interaction events. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Where Google has eligible signed-in data, Google signals may add aggregated demographics, interests, and cross-device reporting. When you sign in to GameDB, an opaque internal User-ID may connect your activity across GameDB devices and sessions. GameDB does not send your name, email address, avatar, feedback text, or other directly identifying account fields to Google Analytics.

GameDB also uses the Google Analytics Measurement Protocol for the limited events sign_up, login, and feedback_submitted. These server-side events include only the opaque GameDB User-ID when available, the Google Analytics client and session identifiers created during the visit, the GameDB host and page path, the sign-in method or feedback type, and whether the submitter was signed in.

Analytics storage is enabled when you visit GameDB Wiki so Google Analytics can measure use across pages and sessions. Google advertising storage, ad user data, and ad personalization remain denied, and GameDB does not link this analytics property to Google Ads.

Hosting providers may also process request logs, IP address, user agent, referrer, timestamp, and requested URL to serve pages, secure the site, debug errors, and prevent abuse.

Contact, Feedback, and Submissions

If a page includes a contact, feedback, login, comment, or contribution feature, information submitted through that feature is used to review the request, moderate submissions, operate the wiki, correct content, respond when needed, and prevent abuse.

Retention and Deletion

Operational logs are kept only as long as needed by the hosting and analytics providers for security, debugging, aggregate measurement, and abuse prevention. Contact and feedback messages are kept while needed to resolve the request, maintain records of corrections or takedowns, and protect the site. You may request deletion of contact or feedback data through the contact page.

Children's Privacy

GameDB Wiki is a general-audience game reference and is not directed to children under 13. Do not submit personal information if you are under 13.
