Privacy Policy

Effective date: 17 June 2026 ยท Last updated: 17 June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how GGameHost LLC ("GGameHost", "we", "us") collects, uses and protects personal data when you use our website and game server hosting services. We act as the data controller for that personal data. We are committed to handling your data in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable data-protection law.

1. Data we collect

  • Account data โ€” name, email address, and the details you provide when registering or contacting us.
  • Billing data โ€” billing address and transaction records. Card payments are handled by our payment processors; we do not store full card numbers.
  • Technical data โ€” IP address, device and browser information, and server, connection and security logs needed to operate and protect the Services.
  • Support data โ€” the contents of tickets, chats and emails you send us.
  • Cookies โ€” see the Cookies section below.

2. How we use your data and legal bases

  • To provide, provision and maintain your servers and account โ€” performance of a contract.
  • To take payment, prevent fraud and keep records โ€” contract and legal obligation.
  • To secure our network, mitigate DDoS attacks and investigate abuse โ€” legitimate interests.
  • To provide support and respond to your requests โ€” contract and legitimate interests.
  • To send service and, where permitted, marketing messages โ€” legitimate interests or consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

3. Payment processing

Payments are processed by third-party providers such as Stripe. When you pay, your card details are submitted directly to the processor under their own privacy terms. We receive only the information needed to confirm and manage your transaction (such as the last four digits, card type and authorisation result).

4. Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies to operate the site and client area (for example, session and security cookies), and we may use analytics cookies to understand and improve usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling necessary cookies may break parts of the site.

5. Sharing and processors

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers ("processors") who help us run the Services under contract, including payment processors (e.g. Stripe), our network and DDoS-protection provider (e.g. Cloudflare), data-center and infrastructure providers, and our billing platform (WHMCS). We may also disclose data where required by law or to protect our rights, our customers or the public.

6. International transfers

Our core infrastructure is located in the European Union (Frankfurt, Germany). Where data is transferred outside the European Economic Area to a processor, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. Retention

We keep account and billing records for as long as your account is active and afterwards for the period required to meet legal, tax and accounting obligations. Security and server logs are kept only for as long as needed for operations and security, then deleted or anonymised.

8. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection supervisory authority.

9. Security

We use technical and organisational measures โ€” including encryption in transit, access controls and network protection โ€” to safeguard personal data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children

The Services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes and contact

We may update this Policy and will post changes here with a new effective date. For any privacy question or request, contact [email protected].
