Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy for VimeoGame

Effective date: September 4, 2024

Welcome! This Privacy Policy explains, in plain language, how VimeoGame (“VimeoGame,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit vimeogame.com and its pages (including categories like VimeoGame, Action Games, Adventure Games, Battle Royale Games, City Builder Games, Co-op Games, Epic Games, Fighting Games, Free Coin Master, Games News, Games Reviews, Gaming Videos, Horror Games, Puzzle Games, Racing Games, Roblox Gift Code, and Sports Games).

We wrote this to be human-readable first. If you only have a minute, read the summary; if you want details, keep going.

TL;DR (Short Version)

  • We collect only what we need to run the site, improve content, keep the site secure, and—if you opt in—show relevant ads and measure traffic.

  • Typical data includes cookie identifiers, device info, IP address, pages visited, and anything you choose to submit (e.g., comments or giveaway entries).

  • You control a lot: cookie settings, email preferences, opt-out of targeted ads, and data access/deletion requests.

  • We don’t sell your profile in the way most people think of “selling.” Where laws treat certain ad technologies as a “sale” or “sharing,” you can opt out.

  • We don’t knowingly collect data from children under 13 (or under the age required in your country).

  • Have questions? Email [email protected].

1) Scope

This policy covers information processed when you use vimeogame.com. It does not cover third-party games, app stores, social networks, video platforms, or external websites we link or embed. Those services have their own privacy policies.

Trademark note: “Vimeo,” “Epic Games,” “Roblox,” “Coin Master,” and other names may be trademarks of their respective owners. VimeoGame is independent and not affiliated with these brands unless stated otherwise.

2) What We Collect (and Why)

We follow a “collect the minimum useful data” approach. Here’s a clear map of what may be collected.

A. Data you provide directly

  • Comments, forms, or emails you send us (e.g., feedback, business inquiries).
    Why: Respond, moderate content, prevent abuse.

  • Giveaways & promotions (e.g., “Roblox Gift Code” or “Free Coin Master” posts).
    What: Name, email, social handle(s), and your entry.
    Why: Run the promotion, verify eligibility, contact winners, prevent fraud.

B. Data collected automatically

  • Usage data: Pages viewed, time on page, referring/exit pages, and clicks.
    Why: Understand what content readers enjoy; improve site speed and navigation.

  • Device & technical data: IP address, browser type/version, OS, screen size, approximate location (city/region from IP), and error logs.
    Why: Security (e.g., blocking bots), debugging, analytics, and fraud prevention.

  • Cookies & similar tech: Small files stored on your device (see Section 6).
    Why: Remember preferences, measure audience, and—if you allow—personalize ads.

C. Third-party sources

  • Analytics & ad partners: They may add inferred interests or broad demographics to help us analyze readership and keep content free via ads (see Section 5).

  • Social & video embeds: When you interact with an embedded video or share button, that platform may collect data under its own policy.

3) How We Use Your Information

We process data to:

  1. Run the site: deliver pages, balance load, troubleshoot, and secure the platform.

  2. Improve content: analyze which topics (e.g., Battle Royale Games, Games Reviews) readers engage with.

  3. Communicate: reply to your emails, send giveaway confirmations, or contact winners.

  4. Moderate: prevent spam, abuse, cheating in giveaways, and policy violations.

  5. Measure & fund the site: with analytics and, where permitted, advertising (including contextual ads and, if you opt in, interest-based ads).

  6. Comply with law: handle legal requests and enforce our Terms.

4) Legal Bases (EEA/UK visitors)

Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, our legal bases include:

  • Legitimate interests (running and improving a secure, useful site).

  • Consent (non-essential cookies/ads, email marketing, or promotions where needed).

  • Contract (responding to your requests).

  • Legal obligation (records required by law).

You can withdraw consent at any time through our cookie settings or by contacting us.

5) Who We Share Information With

We don’t sell personal information in the colloquial sense. We do use service providers and partners who help operate VimeoGame. Typical categories:

  • Hosting & security providers (to serve the site reliably).

  • Analytics (to understand traffic and fix problems).

  • Advertising partners (to fund the site with ads; may involve “sale”/“sharing” as defined by some state laws—see Section 10 for opt-out).

  • Email & customer support tools (for inquiries and giveaways).

  • Compliance (courts, law enforcement, or to protect rights and safety, if legally required).

Each partner is expected to handle data responsibly and under contract where applicable.

6) Cookies & Similar Technologies

Essential cookies make the site work (e.g., load balancing, security).
Analytics cookies measure visits and performance.
Preference cookies remember your settings (e.g., dark mode, region).
Advertising cookies help deliver and measure ads (and avoid showing the same ad repeatedly).

Your controls:

  • Use our cookie banner/settings to accept, reject, or fine-tune categories (except strictly necessary cookies).

  • You can also clear or block cookies in your browser. Doing so may affect site functionality.

  • Some browsers offer Global Privacy Control (GPC)—we honor GPC as a request to opt out of targeted advertising where required.

7) Data Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above:

  • Server logs: typically up to 90 days, unless needed longer for security or investigations.

  • Analytics: typically 14–26 months (aggregate metrics may persist without identifying you).

  • Giveaway/Promotion records: typically 12 months after winners are verified (longer if required by law).

  • Emails & contact forms: as long as needed to resolve your request and maintain appropriate records.

When data is no longer needed, we aim to delete or anonymize it.

8) Your Privacy Choices & Rights

Everyone, everywhere

  • Cookie settings: manage preferences any time.

  • Email preferences: unsubscribe links where applicable.

  • Do Not Track: browsers’ DNT signals aren’t standardized; we rely on cookie settings and GPC.

EEA/UK (GDPR/UK GDPR)

You may access, correct, delete, restrict, object, or port your data. If we rely on consent, you can withdraw it. To exercise rights, email [email protected]. You can also complain to your local Data Protection Authority.

California (CPRA/“CCPA”)

You have the right to know, delete, and correct personal information, and to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” (as defined by law). Use our cookie settings (and look for a footer link labeled “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”) or email us.

Virginia/Colorado/Connecticut/Other US State Laws

Where applicable, you may have similar rights to access, delete, correct, and opt out of targeted advertising. Use cookie settings or contact us.

Brazil (LGPD) and other regions

Comparable rights may apply. Contact us and we’ll help.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

9) Children’s Privacy

VimeoGame is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). If you believe a child provided personal information without parental consent, contact [email protected] and we’ll remove it.

Tip for families: Never share real names, addresses, or school info in comments or public posts.

10) Ads, Affiliates, and Giveaways (Clarity for Gaming Content)

  • Contextual ads: based on the page you’re viewing (e.g., Horror Games review).

  • Interest-based ads: if you consent, partners may use cookies or device identifiers to show more relevant ads across sites. You can opt out in our cookie settings.

  • Affiliate links: for some posts (e.g., gear or game deals), we may earn a commission if you buy through our link. This doesn’t change the price you pay.

  • Giveaways & codes (e.g., Roblox Gift Code, Free Coin Master): we collect only the info needed to run the promotion fairly and to contact winners. Always read the official rules for each giveaway.

11) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect data—examples include HTTPS encryption in transit, access controls, and routine monitoring. No system is perfectly secure, so please use unique, strong passwords for your own accounts on other services and be cautious with links.

12) International Data Transfers

If you access the site from outside the country where our servers or providers are located, your information may be processed in other countries that may have different data-protection rules. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your information.

13) Third-Party Links & Embeds

We often link to or embed content from platforms like video hosts, social networks, official game sites, or app stores. Their data practices are governed by their own policies. When you click or interact with an embed, that third party may collect data directly from you.

14) Changes to This Policy

We’ll update this Privacy Policy when needed to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or laws. When we post changes, we’ll update the Effective date at the top. If the changes are significant, we’ll provide a more prominent notice.

15) How to Contact Us

Questions, requests, or concerns?
Email: [email protected]
If you’re in the EEA/UK, you may also contact your local Data Protection Authority.

16) California “Notice at Collection”

We may collect the following categories (examples in parentheses):

  • Identifiers (cookies, IP address, device IDs)

  • Internet/Network activity (pages viewed, clicks, referring site)

  • Approximate geolocation (city/region from IP)

  • Inferences (broad, non-sensitive interest segments for analytics/ads)

  • User-submitted content (comments, giveaway entries)

Purposes: run the site, secure it, measure audience, improve content, provide support, and—if allowed—deliver/measure advertising.
Retention: see Section 7.
Sale/Sharing: We don’t sell personal information for money. Certain ad tech may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under California law; you can opt out via our cookie settings or a footer link labeled “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.”

17) Your Easy Action Checklist

  • Review and set your cookie preferences on first visit (and anytime, via the footer).

  • For embedded videos or social widgets, consider the third party’s settings and privacy controls.

  • Enter giveaways with a secondary email if you prefer, and read the rules.

  • Want to see or delete your data? Email [email protected] with “Privacy Request” in the subject.
