Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how CheatCodz ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects your information when you visit cheatcodz.com, use our AI gaming tools, create an account, subscribe, or contact us. By using our site you agree to these practices.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide

• Account data — your username/gamertag and email when you sign up.
• Tool inputs — game names, builds, and prompts you enter into our AI tools to get results.
• Subscription data — plan tier and billing details for paid plans (payment handled by our provider).
• Contact & community data — messages, submissions, and comments you send us.

Information collected automatically

• Usage data — pages viewed, tools used, and activity.
• Technical data — IP address, browser, device, and referring page.
• Local storage / PWA data — stored on your device for offline and app features.

2. Our AI Gaming Tools

Our tools — including the Cheat Finder, Build Optimizer, Tier List Maker, and 17 others — process the inputs you provide (such as a game name or build) to generate results. These inputs are sent to our AI provider (OpenAI) to produce responses. We don't use your inputs to build a personal profile, and we don't sell them.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and improve our tools, content, and recommendations.
• To create and manage your account and enforce plan post limits.
• To process subscriptions and provide support.
• To respond to your messages.
• To send updates or gaming tips where you've consented (opt out anytime).
• To maintain security and comply with legal obligations.

4. Subscriptions & Payment

For paid plans we collect the details needed to manage your subscription. Payment is processed by our third-party payment provider; we do not store full card numbers on our servers.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who process it on our behalf (see below), or where required by law or to protect our rights and users.

6. Third-Party Processors

• OpenAI — powers our AI tool responses.
• SendGrid (Twilio) — sends transactional and notification emails.
• Our payment provider — securely processes subscription payments.
• Hosting provider — hosts our site and databases.

7. Cookies & Local Storage

We use essential cookies for authentication and sessions, and optional analytics cookies you can decline. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. We also use local storage for offline and PWA features. You can clear these in your browser settings.

8. Data Retention

• Tool inputs — used to generate your result, not retained for profiling.
• Account & subscription data — kept while your account is active; deleted on request.
• Contact messages — kept as needed to handle your enquiry.

9. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. EEA/UK residents have GDPR rights; California residents have CCPA/CPRA rights — we do not sell or share personal information as defined by that law. To exercise any right, email info@cheatcodz.com.

10. International Data Transfers

We serve gamers worldwide. Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including where our providers operate. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

11. Children's Privacy

CheatCodz is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we'll delete it.

12. Data Security

We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and reputable providers to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security, but we act promptly on issues and notify you and authorities where the law requires.

13. Changes & Contact

We may update this policy; the "Last updated" date will change accordingly. Questions? Email info@cheatcodz.com or use our Contact page.
