This privacy policy describes how worldgamybest.com (operated as World Gamy Best) collects, uses, stores and shares personal information when you visit our website. We write for visitors in the United Kingdom and aim to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
We are an editorial information site about free social games on Google Play. We do not host games, process in-app payments or operate user accounts on this domain. Most browsing is anonymous; we only receive identifiable details if you choose to contact us.
Who is responsible for your data?
The data controller for personal information processed through worldgamybest.com is World Gamy Best. For privacy enquiries, email support@worldgamybest.com or write to us at 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5AB, United Kingdom.
What information we collect
Information you provide
If you submit our contact form, we receive the fields you enter — typically your name, email address, chosen topic and message body. We do not require an account to read rankings or reviews.
Information collected automatically
When you load a page, standard server and analytics logs may record:
- Internet protocol (IP) address and approximate region;
- Browser type, version and language settings;
- Device type, operating system and screen size;
- Referring URL and pages viewed on our site;
- Date, time and duration of visits;
- Technical errors needed to diagnose faults.
We do not deliberately collect special category data (such as health information) through this website.
How and why we use information
We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis under UK GDPR:
- Legitimate interests — to operate, secure and improve the website, understand aggregate traffic patterns and prevent abuse. We balance these interests against your privacy rights and minimise identifiable data where possible.
- Consent — for non-essential cookies and similar technologies when required. You can withdraw consent via browser settings or our cookie banner.
- Contract / pre-contractual steps — to respond to contact form messages you send us.
- Legal obligation — to retain certain records if law or regulation requires it.
We do not use your contact details for unrelated marketing lists, and we do not sell personal information to third-party data brokers.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies, local storage and comparable tools as described in our Cookie policy. Essential storage may remember your cookie preference. Analytics or affiliate measurement tags, if present, are configured to respect your consent choice where applicable.
Who we share data with
We may share limited information with:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers that deliver the website;
- Analytics partners that help us understand aggregated visit statistics;
- Affiliate or advertising partners when you follow outbound links — those third parties apply their own policies on Google Play, ad networks or measurement platforms;
- Professional advisers (for example lawyers or accountants) under confidentiality duties;
- Authorities when required by law, court order or to protect rights and safety.
When you leave worldgamybest.com via an external link, the destination site (such as Google Play or a game publisher) becomes responsible for its own privacy practices. Review their notices before installing apps or creating accounts.
International transfers
Some service providers may process data outside the UK. Where transfers occur, we rely on appropriate safeguards recognised under UK law — for example UK adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections — so your information retains a similar level of protection.
How long we keep information
- Contact form messages — usually up to 24 months after we close the enquiry, unless a longer period is needed for legal claims.
- Server logs — typically rotated or anonymised within 90 days.
- Cookie consent records — stored locally in your browser until you clear site data.
When retention ends, we delete or irreversibly anonymise personal data.
Security
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures — access controls, encrypted transport (HTTPS) and vendor due diligence — to protect information against unauthorised access, alteration or loss. No online service can guarantee absolute security; please use a modern browser and keep your devices updated.
Children's privacy
Our editorial content may discuss games rated for various age groups, but the site itself is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 without appropriate parental authority. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, contact support@worldgamybest.com and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Your rights under UK GDPR
Depending on circumstances, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal data we hold about you;
- Ask for correction of inaccurate data;
- Request deletion in certain situations;
- Restrict or object to specific processing;
- Data portability where processing is automated and based on consent or contract;
- Withdraw consent at any time for processing that relies on consent;
- Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
To exercise rights, email support@worldgamybest.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding and will reply within one month in most cases.
Automated decision-making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.
Changes to this policy
We may revise this privacy policy when our practices, technology or legal requirements change. Material updates will appear on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acknowledgement of the revised policy.
