PlayBestMultiplayerGamesUK ("we", "us", "our") is the operator of the social gaming platform accessible at playbestmultiplayergamesuk.com. We are based in the United Kingdom and act as the data controller for any personal data you provide when using the Platform. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, contact us at: privacy@playbestmultiplayergamesuk.com.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect only the data necessary to provide, maintain, and improve the Platform. This includes:

• Account data: Username, email address, and date of birth (for age verification purposes only).

• Communications: If you contact our support team, we retain the content of that correspondence to assist in resolving your query.

We do not collect payment information at any point. The Platform is entirely free and no financial data is ever required or solicited.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

• To create and manage your account and provide you with access to the Platform.

We use cookies to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and gather anonymised analytics data. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking cookies that follow you across external websites. For full details on the cookies we use, please read our Cookie Policy.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, subject to any legal obligations that may require us to retain certain records for a longer period (for example, for fraud prevention purposes).

Anonymised, aggregated usage data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be linked back to any individual user.

• Trusted service providers who assist in operating the Platform (such as hosting providers and analytics services), subject to strict data processing agreements.

Any third-party service providers we use are contractually obligated to handle your data in accordance with UK GDPR and to use it only for the specific purpose for which it was shared.
