PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: 12 May 2026. This is the boring legal stuff. We've kept it short and tried to use English instead of lawyer.

DATA COLLECTION

We collect only what we need to run the site. That includes anonymous analytics (page views, country, device type), and — for registered users — your email address, display name, and any review ratings or comments you choose to post.

We do not collect or store credit card information. Newsletter subscriptions are opt-in and stored only as email + preferences.

COOKIES

BoardGame.guru sets no first-party tracking cookies. Your on-site preferences and the coin mini-game are stored in your browser's local storage, which never leaves your device and is not shared with us or anyone else.

We do use one privacy-friendly analytics provider (Metricool) for aggregate traffic data. It only loads after you accept via the cookie banner. Decline, and no analytics run. You can change your mind any time by clearing this site's data in your browser. We do not use third-party advertising cookies and we do not sell your data.

THIRD PARTIES

We integrate with a small number of third-party services: an email provider for newsletter delivery, an analytics provider (Metricool) for aggregated traffic data that runs only with your consent, and CDN providers for asset delivery.

None of these services receive personally identifiable information beyond what is strictly necessary for them to function (e.g., your email for the newsletter provider). We do not sell or share your data with advertisers.

YOUR RIGHTS

You can request a copy of every piece of data we hold on you, request corrections, or request deletion of your account at any time. We will respond within 30 days.

If you are in the EU or UK, this also includes the rights granted by GDPR — to object to processing, restrict processing, and to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

CONTACT

Privacy questions, deletion requests, or data export requests: privacy@boardgame.guru.

We aim to respond to all privacy enquiries within 7 working days.
