Welcome to GamingKeyboards.net (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We publish hands-on reviews, comparisons, and buying guides for gaming keyboards. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit https://www.gamingkeyboards.net (the “Site”).

This policy is written for visitors located in the United States. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device that helps websites function and gather analytics.

We use the following categories of cookies:

  • Essential cookies. Required for the Site to function (navigation, security, basic preferences).
  • Analytics cookies. Used by services like Google Analytics to understand traffic patterns and audience behavior.
  • Affiliate tracking cookies. Set by affiliate networks (such as Amazon Associates) when you click an outbound product link, so the merchant can attribute any resulting purchase to us.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings. If you do, parts of the Site may not work correctly.

4. Third-Party Services

We use third-party services that may collect information on our behalf or independently. These include:

  • Google Analytics — for traffic measurement and audience insights. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.
  • Amazon Associates and other affiliate networks — for affiliate link tracking and commission attribution.
  • Email newsletter provider — to manage subscriptions and send emails (only if you have subscribed).
  • Web hosting and content delivery providers — to deliver the Site to your browser.

Each of these services has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them directly.

5. Affiliate Disclosure

GamingKeyboards.net participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. This means we may earn a commission when you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase, at no extra cost to you.

In accordance with FTC guidelines (16 CFR Part 255), this disclosure is provided to make our financial relationships with retailers transparent. Affiliate relationships do not influence our reviews, rankings, or editorial decisions.

6. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”), gives you specific rights regarding your personal information.

Categories of Information Collected

In the past 12 months, we may have collected the following categories of personal information from California residents:

  • Identifiers (name, email address, IP address)
  • Internet or other electronic network activity (browsing history on the Site, interaction with affiliate links)
  • Geolocation data (approximate, derived from IP address)
  • Inferences drawn from the above (such as content preferences)

Your Rights

  • Right to Know. You can request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources, the purposes for collection, and any third parties we share it with.
  • Right to Delete. You can request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain legal exceptions.
  • Right to Correct. You can request that we correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
  • Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing. We do not sell personal information for money. However, the use of certain analytics and advertising cookies may be considered “sharing” under CCPA/CPRA. You can opt out by adjusting your cookie settings or by enabling a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser, which we honor.
  • Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information. We do not collect or use sensitive personal information beyond what’s necessary to operate the Site.

You may also designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. We will require proof of authorization before acting on the request.

We will respond to verifiable requests within 45 days, with an extension of up to an additional 45 days if reasonably necessary.

7. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will delete that information promptly.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through the Site, please contact us at contact@gamingkeyboards.net so we can take appropriate action.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law.

  • Contact form messages: typically retained for up to 24 months, then deleted unless an ongoing conversation requires otherwise.
  • Newsletter subscriber data: retained until you unsubscribe.
  • Analytics data: retained according to the default Google Analytics retention period (currently 14 months unless adjusted in settings).
  • Server log files: retained for up to 90 days for security and troubleshooting purposes.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect, including HTTPS encryption across the Site and the use of reputable third-party providers with their own security controls.

That said, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
