Overview: controller, legal bases & complaints

Who is responsible (controller)

Game Equity Hub (“we”, “us”) describes how we process personal data on this site and in the marketplace. Under UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and similar laws you must identify the controller clearly. If you operate through a registered company, add its legal name, registered address, company number, and a dedicated privacy inbox (for example hello@gameequityhub.com) in your live legal pack.

Legal bases (typical under GDPR-style laws)

We rely on: contract — to deliver accounts, listings, deals, and support you request; legitimate interests — to secure the platform, prevent fraud, and improve products in a way that respects your rights; consent — for non-essential cookies, marketing emails, and optional analytics you turn on; legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose information for regulators, tax, or court orders. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.

International transfers

If personal data is stored or processed in countries without an adequacy decision (for example United States cloud hosting), we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms where required, and can provide more detail on request.

Supervisory authority

You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (for example the ICO in the UK or an EU member state supervisory authority). We encourage you to contact hello@gameequityhub.com first so we can try to resolve your concern.

Children

The marketplace is not directed at children below the digital consent age in their region (often 13 or 16). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

When you register, list a game, make an offer, or contact us, we collect: full name, email address, username, payment details (bank account, crypto wallet addresses), Roblox username and profile information, game listing information (URLs, descriptions, financial metrics), communications with our team, and any documents or screenshots you submit for verification purposes.

1.2 Information We Collect Automatically

We collect IP addresses, browser type and version, device identifiers, pages visited and time spent, referring URLs, session duration, and clickstream data via standard web analytics. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to remember preferences and analyze usage patterns.

1.3 Third-Party Data

With your permission, we may access Roblox Creator Hub analytics data, Roblox group and game information, and revenue and performance metrics. This data is used solely to verify listings and is never shared with third parties outside of the immediate transaction.

2. How We Use Your Information

2.1 Platform Operations

We use your information to create and manage your account, process transactions and escrow arrangements, verify game listings and ownership claims, match buyers with relevant listings based on their criteria, communicate about deals, updates, and support requests, and send transactional emails (deal confirmations, payment receipts, dispute notifications).

2.2 Safety and Fraud Prevention

We analyze usage patterns and transaction data to detect fraud, fake metrics, and bad-faith actors. Information may be shared with law enforcement if required by applicable law or to prevent imminent harm.

2.3 Platform Improvement

Aggregated, anonymized data is used to improve our valuation models, matching algorithms, and overall platform experience. Individual user data is never sold for marketing purposes.

2.4 Marketing Communications

With your explicit consent, we may send newsletters, market reports, and new listing digests. You may unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email or by contacting hello@gameequityhub.com.

3. How We Share Your Information

3.1 With Transaction Counterparties

To facilitate deals, we share limited profile information between buyers and sellers involved in a specific transaction. This includes display name, contact information, and verification status — never full financial details unless explicitly agreed.

3.2 With Service Providers

We work with payment processors, hosting providers, analytics tools, and communication platforms. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only to provide their services to us and may not use it for their own purposes.

3.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or regulatory authority; to protect the rights, property, or safety of EquityHub, our users, or the public; or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business (users will be notified in advance).

3.4 What We Never Do

We never sell personal data to third parties for advertising. We never share analytics data beyond the parties involved in a specific deal. We never disclose payment details to counterparties without explicit consent.

4. Data Retention

4.1 Account Data

We retain account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we retain anonymized transaction records for legal and dispute purposes for 7 years, which is standard for financial record-keeping.

4.2 Transaction Records

Records of completed, cancelled, or disputed transactions are retained for 7 years from the transaction date. This retention is required for financial compliance, dispute resolution, and regulatory purposes.

4.3 Communication Records

Email and in-platform communications are retained for 3 years after the date of the last interaction for support and dispute purposes. You may request deletion of non-transactional communications at any time.

5. Your Rights

5.1 Access and Portability

You may request a complete export of all personal data we hold about you at any time. We will provide this in a machine-readable format within 30 days of your request.

5.2 Correction

You may update your account information at any time through your profile settings, or by contacting hello@gameequityhub.com for data that cannot be self-managed.

5.3 Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data. We will comply within 30 days, except where we are legally required to retain certain records (see Section 4).

5.4 Opt-Out

You may opt out of marketing communications at any time. You may also opt out of non-essential cookies through our cookie preference center. Note that opting out of functional cookies may impact platform usability.

6. Security

6.1 Technical Safeguards

All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 and at rest using AES-256. Access to user data is restricted to authorized personnel with a legitimate business need. We maintain regular security audits and penetration testing schedules.

6.2 Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected users within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, consistent with applicable data protection laws.

7. Cookies

7.1 Essential Cookies

Required for the platform to function: authentication session management, security tokens, user preferences. These cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.

7.2 Analytics & measurement

If enabled in your cookie preferences, we may use first-party or privacy-oriented analytics to understand aggregate traffic and errors. We do not sell browsing history for advertising.

7.3 No third-party advertising cookies

We do not run behavioural ad networks on this marketing site. Any future marketing tags would only load if you enable the Marketing category in cookie settings.

7.4 Changing your mind

You can open the cookie preference centre at any time from the banner when it appears, or from “Cookie settings” in the site footer, to review or change optional categories.

8. Contact & Complaints
