Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 6, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Gambleio.com ("Gambleio", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our platform. By using Gambleio, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account Information

When you create an account, we collect basic information necessary to provide the service:

Username (chosen by you)
Email address (used for login and account recovery)
Password (stored in hashed form — we never store or have access to your plaintext password)

1.2 Profile Information

You may optionally provide additional profile information such as a display name, avatar, or profile customization. This information is provided voluntarily and can be modified or removed at any time.

1.3 Usage Data

We automatically collect certain technical information when you use the platform, including:

Game activity and statistics (for leaderboards and profile stats)
Chat messages (sent through the in-platform chat system)
IP address and browser user-agent (for security and abuse prevention)
Session and authentication tokens

2. Payment Information

All payment processing is handled entirely and securely by Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. When you make a purchase on Gambleio:

We do NOT collect, store, process, or have access to your credit card number, debit card number, or any financial account details.
All payment data is entered directly on Stripe's secure, hosted checkout page.
We only receive a transaction confirmation from Stripe containing your user identifier and the product purchased — never your payment card details.

For more information on how Stripe handles your payment data, please review Stripe's Privacy Policy.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Provide, operate, and maintain the Gambleio platform and your account.
Process and fulfill your purchases of virtual goods.
Display your profile, game statistics, and leaderboard rankings.
Facilitate in-platform communication (chat).
Prevent fraud, cheating, abuse, and enforce our Terms of Service.
Improve the platform and develop new features.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share limited data only in the following circumstances:

Payment processing: Your user identifier is shared with Stripe to process transactions.
Legal compliance: If required by law, regulation, legal process, or government request.
Safety and enforcement: To protect the rights, safety, or property of Gambleio, our users, or the public.

5. Data Storage & Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

Password hashing using industry-standard algorithms (bcrypt).
Encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) for all data in transit.
Access controls limiting who can access user data.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Cookies & Local Storage

Gambleio uses essential cookies and browser local storage to maintain your login session and user preferences. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you.
Correct inaccurate personal data.
Delete your account and associated personal data.
Object to certain processing of your personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@gambleio.com. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

8. Children's Privacy

Gambleio is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that we have collected data from a person under 18, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes become effective upon posting to the website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of Gambleio after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
