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 served by Google AdSense, and Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and collect information such as your IP address to show and measure ads. Section 2.5 explains 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 advertising and analytics is collected through Google's consent management platform (Google Privacy & messaging), a Google-certified CMP that participates in the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF). Your choice is passed to Google Consent Mode v2, so it governs analytics storage as well as advertising. The default depends on where you are:
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the "Privacy settings" link in the footer of every page.
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 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.
This list describes our own analytics only. It does not apply to the advertising on this site: Google and its advertising partners do process personal information, including your IP address, and may build interest profiles across sites where you have allowed it. See Section 2.5.
GDPR & Privacy Compliance: We use Google Consent Mode v2 together with Google's certified consent management platform. Visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland are asked to opt in before analytics or advertising cookies are used; visitors in US states with applicable privacy laws are offered an opt-out. You can change your choices at any time through the "Privacy settings" link in the footer.
This site is monetized with display advertising served by Google AdSense. Advertising is a materially different kind of data processing from our analytics, so we want to be plain about it:
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices or, in Europe, www.youronlinechoices.eu.
Google explains its own processing in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and in the Google Privacy Policy. The list of ad technology providers that may serve ads in the EEA and UK is available from Google's consent message.
The Game-Scout app for iPhone and Android shows the same lists and game pages as this website and uses the following data:
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 "Privacy settings" link in the footer 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 information with Google and its advertising partners, and under laws such as the CCPA/CPRA that activity can be treated as a "sale" or "sharing" (see Section 2.5). We also work with a small number of 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 "Privacy settings" link in the footer or Google's Ads Settings. To exercise any other right, reach us through the contact form below.
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 Google and its advertising partners, and affiliate partners may process referral data when you leave our site.
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.
