Overview
This Privacy Policy explains what information xGame9.com (“we”, “our”, “the site”) collects about you, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Age Restriction
xGame9.com is intended solely for adults aged 18 years or older (21 where required by local law). If you are under the legal age, you must leave the site immediately.
Information We Collect
Information you provide
- Account details (username, email, password) when you register.
- Profile details (display name, avatar, banner, bio) if you choose to add them.
- User content (favorites, collections, game statuses, reviews, reports) that you create on the site.
- Sign in with Google data: if you use Google to sign in, Google sends us your Google ID, email address, name, and profile picture. We do not receive your password. We store the Google ID and use the email to match or create your account.
Automatic information
- Log data: IP address, browser type, device info, referring pages, and timestamps — used for security, rate-limiting, and abuse prevention.
- Cookies: session cookies for login, preference cookies (theme, layout), and third-party cookies (see below).
- Analytics: aggregated page-view data via Google Analytics 4.
How We Use Information
- Operate the site, authenticate you, and keep your account secure.
- Save your preferences, favorites, collections, and reviews.
- Detect and prevent spam, fraud, and abuse.
- Improve the site based on aggregated usage data.
- Respond to support requests and legal obligations.
Third-Party Services
We rely on trusted providers who process data on our behalf:
- Google Sign-In — authentication (governed by Google’s Privacy Policy).
- Google Analytics 4 — anonymised usage analytics.
- Cloudflare — CDN, DDoS protection, bot mitigation.
- Cloudflare Turnstile — CAPTCHA for login/registration.
- LiteSpeed Cache (QUIC.cloud) — performance optimization.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with the providers listed above, or when required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of the site and its users.
Data Retention
We retain account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove personal identifiers within a reasonable period; some minimal data may be retained for legal, security, or anti-abuse purposes.
Your Rights
- Access: you can view and update most of your data from your profile settings.
- Delete: you can delete your account from the profile settings page. This removes your profile, favorites, reviews, and Google sign-in link.
- Email us for any other request regarding your data.
Children
The site is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it.
Security
We use industry-standard measures (HTTPS, hashed passwords, rate limiting, CAPTCHAs) to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure — use a strong, unique password and keep your credentials private.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date below reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
