Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 20, 2026
Last updated: September 20, 2026
Short Version
XpertXbox is a research-based gaming editorial and affiliate website. We collect only the information reasonably needed to operate, secure and improve the site, respond to you, measure site usage and support affiliate referrals. We do not currently sell personal information or use Meta Pixel, Google Ads remarketing or similar cross-site behavioural advertising trackers.
Who We Are
This Privacy Policy applies to XpertXbox at https://xpertxbox.com/ (“XpertXbox,” “we,” “us” or “our”). Where we determine why and how personal information is processed, XpertXbox acts as the controller or responsible organisation.
Privacy questions or requests may be sent to info@xpertxbox.com.
Information We Collect
Depending on how you use the Site, we may collect:
- Information you provide: name, email address, messages, feedback, corrections or other information you voluntarily submit.
- Technical information: IP address, approximate location derived from IP, browser, device, operating system, language, server logs and security data.
- Usage information: pages viewed, referring pages, links clicked, visit dates and times, and similar analytics information.
- Cookie and consent information: consent preferences and identifiers needed to remember those choices.
- Affiliate information: referral or conversion information provided by affiliate networks or retailers after you interact with an affiliate link.
We do not ask you to provide sensitive personal information through the Site unless it is genuinely necessary for a request you initiate.
How We Use Your Information
We use information to operate and secure XpertXbox, respond to enquiries, improve content and site performance, understand audience usage, remember privacy choices, attribute eligible affiliate referrals, prevent fraud or abuse, comply with legal obligations and provide communications you specifically request.
Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
Where the GDPR or similar law applies, we rely on one or more of these legal bases:
- Consent — for optional analytics cookies or communications requiring consent.
- Contract or pre-contract steps — where processing is needed to provide something you request.
- Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, analyse and improve the Site and support our editorial and affiliate activities, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Legal obligation — where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.
Cookies and Tracking
XpertXbox uses XpertXbox Privacy & Consent together with the WordPress consent framework to manage optional cookie choices. Essential technologies required for security, consent storage and basic site operation may operate without optional consent.
Analytics technologies are used according to your consent choices where consent is required. XpertXbox does not currently use Meta Pixel, Google Ads remarketing or similar behavioural advertising trackers.
You can change your choices at any time using Cookie Settings. For more information, see our Cookie Policy.
Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
Where applicable, we recognise supported Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as privacy preference signals. Traditional browser “Do Not Track” signals do not have a universally adopted technical standard, so the Site does not currently treat a DNT header by itself as a separate consent decision. You can always use our Cookie Settings control to manage optional technologies.
Third-Party Services
XpertXbox may use service providers including hosting and content-delivery services, WordPress technologies, Google Analytics through Google Site Kit, security and technical providers, and affiliate partners including Amazon and AliExpress.
When you click an affiliate link or interact with third-party content, that third party may process information under its own privacy policy. Purchases are completed on the retailer’s website; XpertXbox does not normally receive the payment-card details you provide directly to the retailer.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including security, communications, legal or accounting requirements, dispute resolution and enforcement of agreements. Information may then be deleted, anonymised or securely isolated where appropriate.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection to processing; receive certain information in a portable format; withdraw consent; and complain to an appropriate data-protection authority.
To exercise a privacy right, email info@xpertxbox.com. We may reasonably verify your identity before completing a request.
California Privacy Rights
California residents may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA to know about personal information collected, request access, correction or deletion, opt out of certain sales or sharing, and receive equal service without unlawful discrimination for exercising privacy rights. An authorised agent may submit a request where permitted by law.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information: XpertXbox does not currently sell personal information for money or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising as those terms are defined under California law. We therefore do not currently provide a separate “Do Not Sell or Share” link. If our practices change, we will update this Policy and provide required opt-out controls.
Canada
Where Canadian privacy law applies, you may request access to personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete, subject to applicable exceptions.
Kenya
Individuals may have rights under Kenya’s Data Protection Act, including rights to be informed, access personal data, object to certain processing, and request correction or deletion where applicable. You may also contact the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.
Children’s Privacy
XpertXbox 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.
International Data Transfers
Some hosting, analytics, technical or affiliate providers may process information outside Kenya or your country of residence. Where required, we use reasonable contractual, organisational or other safeguards intended to protect personal information during international transfers.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, services, technologies or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated date.
