Welcome to Game-Scout ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.
Game-Scout is an informational platform that helps users discover and filter PlayStation games. We do not own any of the games listed on our platform; we simply provide aggregated information, filtering tools, and AI-generated recommendations to help you find games that match your preferences.
Two kinds of data: Our own analytics is aggregated and does not identify you. Separately, the ads on this site are managed by Mediavine, whose advertising partners do collect personal information such as your IP address for interest-based advertising. Section 2.5 and the Mediavine Advertising Privacy Notice at the end of this policy explain exactly what they collect and how to opt out.
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate. We configure it with privacy in mind, and its behavior is governed by your consent choices (see Section 2.3). Here's what you need to know:
Consent for both advertising and analytics is collected through the Mediavine consent management platform, a Google-certified CMP that participates in the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) and the Global Privacy Platform (GPP). We read its consent signal and pass it to Google Consent Mode v2, so your choice governs analytics storage as well as advertising.
Some pages may contain affiliate links to third-party retailers or partners. If you click one of these links and complete a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners may use their own tracking technologies once you visit their sites.
This list describes our own analytics only. It does not apply to the advertising on this site: Mediavine and its advertising partners do collect personal information, including your IP address, and do build interest profiles across sites. See Section 2.5 and the Mediavine Advertising Privacy Notice at the end of this policy.
This analytics data helps us understand how visitors use our site in general (e.g., "the game details page is popular" or "users scroll 75% of the way down articles") so we can improve the user experience, without ever knowing anything about individual visitors.
GDPR & Privacy Compliance: We use Google Consent Mode v2 together with the Google-certified Mediavine consent management platform. Visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland are asked to opt in before analytics and advertising cookies are used; visitors in US states with applicable privacy laws are offered an opt-out, and we honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required. You can change your choices at any time through the "Update Privacy Settings" link at the bottom of the page.
This site is monetized with display advertising managed by Mediavine. Advertising is a materially different kind of data processing from our analytics, and we want to be plain about it rather than bury it:
The full details, including every opt-out route and how to contact Mediavine directly about your data, are set out in the Mediavine Advertising Privacy Notice at the end of this policy. That notice is provided by Mediavine and covers their processing; the rest of this policy covers ours.
We use the minimal information we collect for the following purposes:
Important Notice: Most content on Game-Scout is created or assisted by artificial intelligence. Please use caution and verify critical information independently.
Much of the content on Game-Scout, including game descriptions, recommendations, editorial articles, and category pages, is generated or assisted by artificial intelligence (AI).
Please be aware: AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, biases, or outdated information. We recommend verifying any important information through official game publishers or the PlayStation Store before making decisions. We continuously work to improve our AI systems, but cannot guarantee complete accuracy.
We use a limited set of cookies and similar technologies:
You can control cookies through the "Update Privacy Settings" link at the bottom of the page and through your browser settings. Blocking some technologies may affect site functionality.
Game-Scout does not itself sell your personal information. However, the advertising on this site does involve sharing personal information with advertising partners, and under laws such as the CCPA/CPRA that activity is treated as a "sale" or "sharing" — see Section 2.5 and the Mediavine Advertising Privacy Notice below. We also work with service providers that process data on our behalf or as independent controllers, depending on the service and your consent choices.
The third-party services we use are:
Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy and terms. We encourage you to review those policies when interacting with third-party services.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites and services, including game publishers, PlayStation Store, retailers, advertisers, and affiliate partners. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies before providing any personal information or completing any transaction.
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, delete, correct, or restrict certain personal data, or to object to some types of processing. You may also have the right to change or withdraw consent for advertising-related processing.
If you contact us through our contact form, you may request deletion of your contact information at any time. For ad-related preferences, use the "Update Privacy Settings" link at the bottom of the page. To exercise your rights over the data Mediavine processes for advertising, contact Mediavine directly at privacy@mediavine.com.
Our service is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.
Our website is hosted on Vercel's infrastructure. Analytics data is processed by Google Analytics. Advertising, consent, and related measurement data are processed by Mediavine, Google, and their advertising partners, and affiliate partners may process referral data when you leave our site. Mediavine transfers data to the United States and relies on Standard Contractual Clauses to safeguard that transfer.
These providers may process data in countries outside your own. Where required, they are responsible for using appropriate safeguards for international data transfers under their own terms and privacy commitments.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us:

The notice below is provided by Mediavine and describes how Mediavine and its advertising partners handle your personal information. It covers their processing; the sections above cover ours.
Mediavine works with this site to support the delivery of ads that align with your interests. It collects information about your online activities and browsing information, including websites you visit, pages you view, search terms, the apps you use, the language and device you use, location, and emails from newsletter sign ups. This information is then passed to partners to enable them to display interest based advertising to you.
This Notice is specific to Mediavine and explains how Mediavine collects, uses, shares, or sells your personal information when you visit this site or sign up for a newsletter managed by Mediavine. This website must disclose any collection, use, sharing or sale of personal data beyond the services provided by Mediavine in its own privacy notice (above) and comply with relevant privacy laws.
Mediavine may collect:
When you visit this site, Mediavine uses cookies and similar technologies, such as pixels and tags, to collect your information about your behavior on this site and other websites you visit, across your devices. These tools track preferences, website visits and activities, interactions with emails and ads, and evaluate effectiveness of emails and ads and record which ads have been shown to you to enable the delivery of interest based ads on this site. To learn more, please visit allaboutcookies.org; ICO - What are cookies and similar technologies; learnwebanalytics.com.
In some cases, Mediavine may manage a site's newsletter. Mediavine collects your email directly from you through the newsletter sign up form, and will request your consent to use your email for interest based advertising. Your email will be converted into hashed format – a unique set of numbers and letters representing your email – before being sent to partners. If you no longer wish to receive this newsletter, you may unsubscribe at any time using the "Unsubscribe" button.
Yes, Mediavine will use, share, license, sell or otherwise disclose your personal information to our partners to enable interest based advertising to be displayed to you on this site. Through the bidstream, an online marketplace, Mediavine shares data, such as ad location, site content, and your personal information with advertisers. Using this information, advertisers bid for ad space, and the winning bidder gets to display their ad to you on this site.
Mediavine may share your personal data with partners to create a universal (unique) identifier linked to your online behavior and preferences. This identifier is added to the bid request to improve the targeting of interest based ads. Mediavine and its partners may also combine your personal data collected from your interaction with this site with your data that they have collected from other sources to create a profile of your interests and behaviors to provide interest based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers, and applications. Mediavine could also license your personal data from its partners to enrich the information in its bid request to advertisers.

To opt out of interest based advertising on this site, you may take the following actions:
On first visit to the site, you may reject the use of cookies through the cookie consent banner, shown only where legally required. If you initially accept the use of cookies, but change your mind, you can access the banner by clicking "Update Privacy Settings" at the bottom of the home page to change your preferences at any time.
To learn more about cookies and how to disable them for interest based advertising, visit All About Cookies. Most browsers provide options in their menu to stop accepting new cookies, alert you to new cookies, disable cookies, and clear your browser's cache or storage. Be aware that blocking cookies may affect your site experience, and essential cookies cannot be disabled as these are necessary for the website to function.
Use the following tools to opt out of receiving interest-based advertising:
If you reside in certain US states, you have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data. A "Do Not Sell or Share My Information" button can be found at the bottom of the home page, where required.
Disabling cookies or opting out of the sales or sharing of personal data for advertising does not mean you won't see ads on this website. It means the ads you see will not be personalized to your online behavior and interests.
Under data protection laws in the EU, UK and certain US states, you may have the right to delete, access, request a copy, and correct your personal information. If you'd like to exercise these rights related to the services we provide to this website, please contact Mediavine at privacy@mediavine.com.
Yes. Mediavine transfers your data to the US for processing and storage. To safeguard this transfer, Mediavine enters into agreements known as Standard Contractual Clauses with our vendors and partners to ensure your data is protected according to EU or UK privacy standards.
Mediavine has implemented technical and organizational security measures appropriate to the risk to the personal data. Despite our safeguards and efforts, no internet transmission can be 100% secure.
Where Mediavine processes personal data to enable interest based advertising, we will continue to process until you ask us to stop.
