Privacy Policy

Protecting the privacy of our visitors matters to us at itchiogamehub.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how it may be used, and what choices are available to you.

This Policy covers information collected through the Site itself. It does not extend to itch.io, to the developer pages we link to, or to any other third-party service you may visit from here — those operate under their own separate privacy practices.

Consent

By using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and agree to the collection and use of information as described.

Information We May Collect

If you contact us — for example, to report an error, suggest a game for the catalog, or raise a copyright concern — we may receive your name, email address, and the content of your message.

If the Site offers account registration or newsletter sign-up at any point, we may request basic contact details such as your name and email address.

How We Use Collected Information

Information we collect may be used to:

– Maintain and improve the Site and its catalog,
– Respond to messages, corrections, and suggestions,
– Understand how visitors browse and use the catalog,
– Detect and prevent misuse of the Site,
– Send updates when you’ve asked to receive them.

Log Files

Like most websites, the Site’s hosting provider may automatically log technical details of visits, including IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, and time of access. This information is used for security, performance monitoring, and understanding general traffic patterns, and is not typically linked to a specific individual.

Cookies

The Site may use cookies to remember basic preferences and understand how the catalog is used. You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time; instructions vary by browser.

Advertising and Third-Party Technologies

The Site may work with third-party advertising providers, including Google, who may use cookies to serve ads based on your activity here and elsewhere. We don’t control these third-party technologies directly. You can learn more about Google’s advertising practices at Google’s advertising technologies page.

Links to itch.io and Developer Pages

Because this Site catalogs games hosted on itch.io, most listings link out to itch.io or to individual developer pages. Once you leave our Site, your interaction is governed by that destination’s own privacy practices, not this Policy. We encourage you to review those policies separately.

CCPA Privacy Rights

California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know what personal information we hold, request its deletion, and opt out of any sale or sharing of that information where applicable. Contact us to submit a qualifying request.

GDPR Data Protection Rights

Where GDPR applies, you may have the right to access, correct, restrict, object to, or request deletion of your personal data, as well as the right to data portability. Contact us to exercise any of these rights, and we’ll respond within the timeframe required by law.

Children’s Privacy

The Site does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information without appropriate consent, please contact us so we can address it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates will be posted here, and we encourage checking back occasionally.
