GameGulf Privacy Policy
At GameGulf.com, we are committed to providing you with the safest and most valuable game price tracking and trial services. We respect your privacy and are dedicated to protecting your personal data. We understand that the rapid growth of the Internet and online services raises concerns about the collection, use, and confidentiality of personal information. We assure you that our commitment to safeguarding privacy extends to all our online activities.
By providing us with your personal information, you consent to this Privacy Policy and the collection, use, access, transfer, storage, and processing of your personal information as described herein.

Through this Privacy Policy, we aim to inform you about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process, as well as your rights regarding your data. In addition to GDPR, we adhere to applicable local laws, such as the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act 2012 ("PDPA") and relevant regulations in other jurisdictions where we provide services. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we handle your personal information. We will not use or share your data with anyone except as outlined in this policy.1. Definitions
