Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
1. Our Commitment to Minimal Data Collection
At GameIsWave, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. You are not required to create an account, log in, or provide personal details to browse our game database, read hardware analyses, or check benchmark matrices.
2. Information We Automatically Process
When you access our website, standard web server logs are generated to maintain security and ensure reliable server performance. This technical data includes your anonymized IP address, browser type, referring URL, and the timestamp of your request. This data is retained strictly for infrastructure protection and is never used to profile individual readers.
3. Cookies and Analytics
We utilize lightweight, privacy-conscious analytics to measure site traffic and popular search topics. We do not engage in cross-site tracking or commercial data brokerage. For details on how we manage session storage and cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.
4. Third-Party Links & Retailers
Our site includes links to digital storefronts (such as Steam, Humble Bundle, Fanatical, and Amazon). When you navigate to an external site via an affiliate link, you become subject to that third party's privacy terms and cookies. We encourage you to review their respective policies.
5. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Regardless of your geographical location, you have the right to request information regarding any data we might store, or to request its deletion. Since we do not maintain user accounts or personal profile databases, we do not hold identifiable consumer data. Inquiries can be submitted to our legal team via privacy@gameiswave.com.
