Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 5, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Gaming Mouse Lab ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit gamingmouselab.online (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to this Policy.

1. Information We Collect

  • Information you provide: email address and message content when you contact us; optional details such as hand measurements, grip style, games, or preferences if you choose to share them for fit advice.
  • Automatic data: IP address, device/browser type, pages viewed, referral source, and approximate location derived from IP (city/region level), collected via standard web logs and analytics.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: small files that help us remember preferences, measure traffic, and improve content. See Cookies section below.

2. How We Use Information

  • To respond to inquiries and provide fit guidance you request.
  • To operate, maintain, and improve the Site, content, and testing tools.
  • To monitor performance, detect abuse or security issues, and produce aggregate, non‑identifying statistics.
  • To manage affiliate links and track outbound clicks for commission attribution (without adding personal information to affiliate networks beyond what they already collect).

3. Legal Bases (EEA/UK)

We process personal data on the following bases: (a) Consent (e.g., cookies/analytics where required); (b) Legitimate interests (e.g., Site security, non‑intrusive measurement); (c) Contract (responding to your requests/inquiries).

4. Cookies and Tracking

  • Essential cookies: required for core functionality and security.
  • Analytics cookies: help us understand which content helps users; collected in aggregate.
  • Affiliate/attribution cookies or parameters: used by retailers/affiliate networks to recognize referrals.

Your choices: most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking some cookies may limit Site functionality. Where required, we present a consent banner for non‑essential cookies.

5. Analytics

We may use privacy‑respecting analytics (e.g., first‑party or IP‑anonymized services) to collect aggregate usage data. Analytics providers process data on our behalf under data‑processing terms. We do not build user profiles for advertising.

6. Affiliate Disclosure and Advertising

Gaming Mouse Lab participates in affiliate programs. When you click a retailer link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence our testing or recommendations. Retailers and affiliate networks may set cookies or track referrals per their policies. We do not run interest‑based ad targeting on the Site.

7. Data Sharing

We share personal data only with:

  • Service providers (hosting, analytics, email) who process data under contractual confidentiality and security obligations.
  • Affiliate networks/retailers for the limited purpose of referral attribution when you click outbound links.
  • Authorities if required to comply with law or protect rights, safety, and security. We do not sell personal information.

8. Data Retention

We keep contact emails and related correspondence as long as needed to support you and maintain records, then delete or anonymize them. Aggregate analytics are retained for trend analysis. We retain data longer if legally required.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information. No online service can be 100% secure; please use unique, strong credentials for your email and devices.

10. International Transfers

If you access the Site from outside the hosting region, your data may be transferred internationally. We rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) where required.

11. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data; to object to certain processing; and to data portability. You may withdraw consent at any time (it will not affect prior processing). To exercise rights, contact us at [email protected].

California privacy: We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. You may request access or deletion of personal information by emailing us.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

13. Third‑Party Links and Embedded Content

Our content may include links to retailers or embedded media. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the new effective date at the top. Material changes will be highlighted for clarity.
