Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 27, 2026

Your privacy is a priority at NTEGame.com("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy provides a transparent look at how we collect, protect, and handle information when you interact with our website.

1. Information We Collect

We believe in data minimization. We only collect the information necessary to provide functional community features:

  • Authentication & Profile Data: When you sign in via Discord or Google, we receive limited profile information provided by the OAuth provider. This typically includes your unique provider ID, display name, email address, and profile picture URL. This data is used solely to create your account, manage your sessions, and attribute your community contributions (like benchmarks or votes).
  • Session & Security Data: To keep you logged in securely, we use industry-standard secure session management. We also log standard metadata like your IP address and User Agent strings to protect the site from brute-force attacks, spam, and unauthorized access.
  • Community Submissions:
    • Hardware Benchmarks: Data you explicitly enter (CPU, GPU, resolution, FPS) is stored and displayed publicly to help the community.
    • Voting Data: To ensure fair results, we associate votes with your account ID. We do not store your raw IP address in our permanent voting records.
  • Gacha Simulator: Your simulation history and inventory are stored locally in your browser's Local Storage. This data is never sent to our servers and remains entirely on your device.

2. How We Use Your Information

We process your data for the following legitimate purposes:

  • To provide and maintain your user profile and community features.
  • To secure the website against bot activity and fraudulent submissions.
  • To display and attribute your community-submitted hardware benchmarks.
  • To remember your preferences (like site theme) using Local Storage.
  • To respond to support requests via email or our official Discord.

Transparency: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

3. Cookies & Local Storage

We use essential technologies to operate the site:

  • Authentication Cookies: Secure cookies used by our internal session management systems to maintain your login state. These are mandatory for profile features.
  • Local Storage: Used to store your theme preference and local Gacha Simulator stats.
  • Security Signals: Third-party signals and automated security verification help us identify and block bot traffic.

4. Advertising & Third-Party Cookies

To help support NTEGame.com, we may display advertisements from third-party networks, such as Google AdSense.

  • Google AdSense: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites.
  • Personalized Advertising: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to NTEGame.com and other sites on the Internet.
  • Opt-Out: You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

5. Data Security & Encryption

We implement rigorous security measures to protect your information:

  • Data Protection: Sensitive identifiers and authentication tokens are encrypted at rest using industry-standard cryptographic protocols.
  • Secure Transmission: All interactions with our site are conducted over encrypted HTTPS connections.
  • Access Control: Our internal databases are shielded by multi-layer firewall protections and edge-level security filters.
  • Session Integrity: We use secure, server-side session management to prevent unauthorized account access.

6. Third-Party Infrastructure

We partner with established infrastructure providers to host our platform and secure our data:

  • Infrastructure Partners: Our site is delivered via a global Content Delivery Network (CDN) which provides DDoS protection and secure data housing.
  • OAuth Providers (Discord/Google): Used for secure login. Use of these services is governed by their respective privacy policies.
  • Bot Mitigation: We utilize automated challenge-response systems to identify and block malicious bot activity and spam.

7. Data Retention

We retain your profile and submission data as long as your account is active. If you choose to delete your account, we will purge your personally identifiable information from our database within a reasonable timeframe, though anonymized benchmark data may remain as part of aggregate community stats.

8. Your Rights and Data Control

You have the right to request a copy of your data or ask for its deletion at any time.

To request data removal:

  1. Join our Official Discord and contact an administrator.
  2. Email us at support@ntegame.com with the subject "Data Access/Deletion Request".

9. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our technology or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top of the page will always reflect the most recent version.
