Privacy Policy for The Geeky Guide

Last Updated: February 20, 2026

1. Introduction

This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their 'Personally Identifiable Information' (PII) is being used online. The Geeky Guide ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and the steps we take to ensure your data is handled securely.

2. Information We Collect

We believe in data minimization.

• Direct Information: We do not require a user account to browse our site. We only collect personal information (such as your name or email address) if you voluntarily provide it to us by contacting us directly via email.
• Automated Information: Like most websites, we automatically collect certain non-identifying information through cookies and similar technologies via our third-party partners (Google Analytics and Google AdSense). This includes your IP address, browser type, and browsing behavior on our site.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use 'cookies' to enhance your experience and gather data about site traffic.

• Google Analytics: We use this to understand how visitors interact with our 20+ year archive of content.
• Google AdSense: As a third-party vendor, Google uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites.
• Affiliate Tracking: We use cookies to track sales originating from our affiliate links (specifically Amazon Associates).

How to Opt-Out: You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings. You may also opt-out of Google's personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

4. Affiliate Disclosure

The Geeky Guide is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

5. Third-Party Disclosure & Links

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your Personally Identifiable Information to outside parties. This does not include website hosting partners (Webflow) and other parties who assist us in operating our website, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

Occasionally, we include links to third-party products or services (e.g., board game publishers or retailers). These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies, and we have no responsibility or liability for their content.

6. Data Security

Your data security is paramount.

• Our website is scanned on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities.
• Your personal information is contained behind secured networks.
• All transactions and browsing sessions are encrypted via SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology provided by our hosting partner, Webflow.

7. Regional Privacy Rights

• California Residents (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to request disclosure of what data is collected and to request its deletion.
• EU Residents (GDPR): We process data based on legitimate interests. You have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data we may hold.
• Philippines Residents (Data Privacy Act of 2012): We comply with the mandates of the National Privacy Commission (NPC) regarding the protection of personal data.

8. Children Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13. Our content is intended for a general audience interested in tabletop gaming and geek culture.
