Privacy Policy

GzoneSphere Technologies Inc. ("GzoneSphere", "we", "us", or "our") operates the GzoneSphere gaming platform, including our website, applications, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Services.

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

Information you provide

• Account data — your username, email address, password (stored only as a secure hash), and any profile details you add such as display name, avatar, bio, and linked social accounts.
• Content you create — blog posts, reviews, community posts, comments, direct messages, tournament entries, and game requests.
• Communications — messages you send us through contact forms, support requests, or team applications, including any files you upload.

Information collected automatically

• Usage data — pages viewed, features used, search queries, and interactions with games, blogs, and other members.
• Device and log data — IP address, browser type, operating system, referring pages, and timestamps.
• Cookies and similar technologies — used to keep you signed in and remember preferences. See our Cookie Policy for details.

We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve the Services, including to:

• Create and manage your account and sub-profiles, and authenticate you when you sign in.
• Display your public content and profile to other members as you direct.
• Enable core features such as messaging, communities, tournaments, reviews, and game requests.
• Send transactional communications like email verification, security alerts, and responses to your requests.
• Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, and violations of our Terms of Service.
• Analyze usage to understand what works and improve the platform.

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in the following circumstances:

• With other users — content and profile details you choose to make public are visible to others on the platform.
• With service providers — vendors who help us run the Services (for example hosting, database, and email delivery) under obligations of confidentiality.
• For legal reasons — when required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of GzoneSphere, our users, or the public.
• In a business transfer — as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services. We may retain and use certain information as required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is legally required.

We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted password storage and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use a strong, unique password and keep your credentials confidential.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can update most profile information directly in your account settings, or contact us to exercise any of these rights.

• Access and update your profile and account details in settings.
• Request a copy or deletion of your personal data by contacting us.
• Opt out of non-essential communications at any time.

The Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

GzoneSphere is a global platform, and your information may be processed and stored in countries other than your own. Where required, we take steps to ensure your information receives an adequate level of protection wherever it is processed.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you through the Services. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
