Privacy Policy

Last updated: Feburary 17, 2024

Gaming Tier List cares about the privacy of our users. We only collect information with a user’s consent and make clear what information we’re collecting with that consent. You can choose to accept or decline cookies from us and our service providers. Use of our site consitutes your agreement with our privacy policy.

We want you to have a clear understanding of what we do with data from Gaming Tier List and have attempted to structure our privacy policy using as much plain language as possible.

We attempt to store as little data about users as possible and only in the need for compliance, operations and enhancing our site. We do not sell data that we collect to third parties and are not aware of this occuring through any of our partners.

The only PII (personally identifable information) that we collect about users is their email address, which is used for an automated newsletter provided through WordPress.

1. Introduction

As the data from Gaming Tier List is used by Yurika Corporation, the Yurika Corporation privacy policy is also applicable. In situations where there is a conflict between the two policies, the policy that provides more privacy to the user will supersede.

This feature is only accessible to users logged in to WordPress.com.

Data Used: In order to process a post like action, the following information is used: IP address, WordPress.com user ID, WordPress.com username, WordPress.com-connected site ID (on which the post was liked), post ID (of the post that was liked), user agent, timestamp of event, browser language, country code.

Activity Tracked: Post likes.

Jetpack Stats

Data Used: IP address, WordPress.com user ID (if logged in), WordPress.com username (if logged in), user agent, visiting URL, referring URL, timestamp of event, browser language, country code. Important: The site owner does not have access to any of this information via this feature. For example, a site owner can see that a specific post has 285 views, but he/she cannot see which specific users/accounts viewed that post. Stats logs — containing visitor IP addresses and WordPress.com usernames (if available) — are retained by Automattic for 28 days and are used for the sole purpose of powering this feature.

Activity Tracked: Post and page views, video plays (if videos are hosted by WordPress.com), outbound link clicks, referring URLs and search engine terms, and country. When this feature is enabled, Jetpack also tracks performance on each page load that includes the JavaScript file used for tracking stats. This is exclusively for aggregate performance tracking across Jetpack sites in order to make sure that our plugin and code is not causing performance issues. This includes the tracking of page load times and resource loading duration (image files, JavaScript files, CSS files, etc.). The site owner has the ability to force this feature to honor DNT settings of visitors. DNT is currently honored and we have enabled the DNT option for Jetpack.
