Gaming Core Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us at Gaming Core (gamingcore.co), operated by A1Network. This gamingcore privacy policy explains how Gaming Core uses data collected from visitors to our website. We are committed to transparency and protecting your information in compliance with relevant digital regulations, including the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your information. By using Gaming Core, you agree to the terms outlined here.

1. Our Commitment to Privacy

Gaming Core is designed as a neutral information hub for comparing GCash-enabled gaming platforms. We collect minimal data necessary to operate the site effectively and improve user experience, always prioritizing your privacy.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

Non-Personally Identifiable Information (NPII):
Like most websites, we automatically gather information that your browser sends whenever you visit Gaming Core. This NPII includes:
- Browser type & version
- Operating system
- Referring website URL
- Pages visited on our site
- Date and time of visit
- Time spent on pages
- General geographic location (non-precise)
  This data is collected primarily via cookies and analytics tools (see below) and helps us understand user trends to improve our website. It is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII):
We only collect PII when you choose to provide it to us directly. This typically occurs when you:
- Contact Us: If you use our Contact Form, we collect your name and email address solely to respond to your message.
Browse the comparison information on Gaming Core does not require submitting any PII.

3. How We Use Your Information

The information collected is used strictly for the following purposes:

Website Operation & Improvement: Analyzing NPII helps us understand site traffic, identify popular comparison categories, fix technical issues, and enhance the overall Gaming Core user experience.
Responding to Inquiries: Using PII provided via the Contact Form to address your questions or feedback directly.
Maintaining Security: Monitoring for potential security threats or breaches.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Gaming Core uses cookies (small text files stored on your device) for essential functionality and analytics.

Purpose: We use cookies to remember basic preferences (if any), ensure site functionality, and gather anonymous usage statistics via analytics tools (see Section 5). This falls under standard cookie policy practices.
Your Control: You can manage or disable cookies through your web browser’s settings. However, disabling essential cookies might affect your ability to use certain features of the website.

5. Website Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics)

We utilize tools like Google Analytics to gather anonymized NPII about visitor interactions.

Data Use: This helps us understand user behavior (e.g., popular comparison pages, traffic sources) to improve the site’s structure and content.
Anonymity: The data collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally. We do not attempt to merge analytics data with any PII. The gcash app site data policy we follow focuses on anonymous trends.
Opt-Out: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by using their opt-out tool: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

This is a core principle of Gaming Core’s privacy commitment:

We DO NOT sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) with any third parties for their marketing or advertising purposes.

Our operational model is based on providing neutral comparison information, independent of affiliate relationships or advertising networks that often rely on user data sharing. The limited exceptions where data might be shared are strictly for operational or legal necessities (see below). This policy ensures no third party data sharing for promotional gain.

7. Limited Data Disclosure Exceptions

We will only disclose collected information (primarily PII if provided by you) under these limited circumstances:
* Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or valid legal process in the Philippines.
* Protecting Rights: To protect the rights, property, or safety of Gaming Core, A1Network, our users, or the public.
* Essential Service Providers: With trusted vendors who perform essential services on our behalf (like website hosting), under strict confidentiality agreements, and only as needed to perform those services.

8. Data Security Measures

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the information we handle. This includes technical safeguards like SSL/HTTPS encryption for our website. However, no online system is 100% secure, and while we take gaming core data protection seriously, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Data Retention Policy

We retain NPII from analytics as needed for trend analysis. PII from contact form submissions is retained only as long as necessary to address the inquiry and is then securely deleted or anonymized.

10. Your Data Privacy Rights (Philippines)

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), you have rights regarding your personal data. If you’ve provided PII to us, you can:
* Request information about the data we hold.
* Request access to your data.
* Request correction of inaccuracies.
* Request deletion under certain conditions.

To exercise these rights, please use our Contact Form.

11. Children’s Privacy

Gaming Core is not intended for individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect PII from children. If you believe we have, please contact us immediately.

12. Links to Other Websites

13. Compliance Commitment
