Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how XpertXbox (“XpertXbox,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit or interact with XpertXbox.com (the “Site”).

Who we are

XpertXbox operates a research-based gaming editorial and affiliate website. For personal information for which we decide the purpose and means of processing, XpertXbox acts as the data controller.

Privacy questions and requests may be sent to info@xpertxbox.com.

Information we collect

Information you provide

We may collect information that you choose to provide, such as:

  • your name, email address, and message when you contact us;
  • information included in comments, corrections, feedback, or other submissions;
  • newsletter subscription details, if a newsletter is offered and you subscribe; and
  • account, support, or transaction-related information if those Site features are enabled and you choose to use them.

Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your request.

Information collected automatically

When you use the Site, our hosting, security, analytics, and similar service providers may process technical and usage information, including:

  • IP address and approximate location derived from it;
  • browser, device, operating system, and language information;
  • pages viewed, referring page, links clicked, and time or date of a visit;
  • cookie identifiers and consent preferences; and
  • diagnostic, security, and server-log information.

Some of this information may be collected through cookies or similar technologies. See our Cookie Policy for details and available choices.

How we use information

We may use personal information to:

  • operate, secure, maintain, and troubleshoot the Site;
  • respond to messages, questions, corrections, or support requests;
  • understand Site usage and improve content, navigation, and performance;
  • remember privacy and cookie preferences;
  • measure affiliate-link performance and attribute eligible referrals;
  • detect fraud, abuse, malicious activity, and technical problems;
  • comply with legal obligations and protect our rights and the rights of others; and
  • send communications you requested, where applicable.

Legal bases for processing

Depending on the information and circumstances, we process personal information on one or more of the following bases:

  • Consent: for optional cookies, analytics, marketing communications, or another purpose presented to you when consent is requested. You may withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legitimate interests: to operate, secure, understand, and improve the Site, respond to communications, prevent abuse, and support our editorial and affiliate activities, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Contract or pre-contract steps: where processing is necessary to provide a feature or service you request.
  • Legal obligation: where processing is required to comply with applicable law or a valid legal request.

Cookies and consent choices

We use CookieYes to present cookie choices and record consent preferences. Where consent is required, optional technologies such as analytics or advertising cookies are used according to the choices recorded through the consent tool.

You can review or change your choices at any time by selecting the site’s Cookie Settings control. Blocking cookies through your browser may affect certain Site features.

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Depending on our configuration and your consent choices, Google may process device, browser, usage, cookie, and approximate-location information. We use analytics information to evaluate traffic and improve the Site; we do not use it to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.

For information about Google’s privacy practices and controls, visit the Google Privacy Policy.

Affiliate links

The Site contains affiliate links, including links to retailers such as Amazon and AliExpress. When you follow an affiliate link, the retailer or affiliate network may receive information such as the referring page, device or browser information, cookie identifiers, and details needed to attribute a referral or commission.

Purchases are completed on the retailer’s website and are governed by that retailer’s privacy policy and terms. XpertXbox generally receives referral or conversion reporting rather than the payment-card information you provide to the retailer. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more information.

How we share information

We may disclose personal information to:

  • hosting, content-delivery, security, backup, and technical service providers;
  • analytics and consent-management providers;
  • email, contact-form, or communication providers used to respond to you;
  • affiliate networks and retailers when you interact with affiliate links;
  • professional advisers where reasonably necessary; and
  • government authorities, courts, or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, security, or the integrity of the Site.

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. Third parties may independently process information when you use their services or follow their links; their own privacy policies apply to that processing.

International transfers

Some service providers and affiliate partners may process information outside Kenya. Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to use providers and safeguards intended to protect personal information during an international transfer, as required by applicable law.

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to respond to communications, maintain security, satisfy legal or accounting requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary according to the type of information, the service involved, and applicable legal requirements. Information may be deleted, anonymised, or securely isolated when it is no longer needed.

Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards intended to protect personal information. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your privacy rights

Subject to applicable law and relevant exceptions, you may have the right to:

  • be informed about how your personal information is used;
  • request access to personal information we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • object to or request restriction of certain processing;
  • request deletion of personal information;
  • receive certain information in a portable format;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
  • lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection authority.

To make a request, email info@xpertxbox.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

Individuals in Kenya may also contact the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.

Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.

Third-party links and embedded content

The Site may contain links to or embedded content from third-party services. Those third parties may collect information when you interact with their content. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the Site, our services, or applicable requirements. The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new “Last Updated” date.
