Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 4, 2026

Welcome to Gamerts.sbs. We know that privacy is a huge deal in the gaming community. Whether you’re here for a deep-dive walkthrough or the latest hardware specs, you deserve to know exactly what happens to your data.

This policy is written to comply with United States federal laws and specifically the New York SHIELD Act and the New York Child Data Protection Act. We’ve kept it simple: no confusing “legalese,” just straight talk about your rights.

1. Who We Are and Our Commitment

Gamerts.sbs is owned and operated by Farhan Ahamed, located at 47 W 13th St, New York, NY 10011, USA.

As a New York-based gaming entity, we don’t just follow “generic” rules. We adhere to the high standards of New York’s data security laws. Our goal is to provide world-class gaming guides while ensuring your digital footprint stays under your control.

2. Information We Collect (And Why)

We aren’t in the business of hoarding data. We only collect what is strictly necessary to make your experience on Gamerts.sbs better.

A. Personal Information You Give Us

If you reach out to us, sign up for a newsletter, or comment on a guide, you might provide:

  • Identification Data: Your name or a chosen “Gamer Tag.”

  • Contact Info: Your email address (used for updates or direct replies from Farhan Ahamed).

  • Communication Data: Any details you share when calling us at 916-264-9851 or emailing us.

B. Automatic Technical Data

Like almost every site on the internet, our servers log some basic info when you visit:

  • Device Specs: Are you on a PS5 browser, a high-end PC, or a smartphone? This helps us format our guides correctly for your screen.

  • Log Data: IP addresses (anonymized where possible) and which gaming categories you spend the most time in.

3. Cookies and Tracking: Your Choices

We use “cookies”—tiny files saved to your browser—to remember your preferences. For example, if you prefer “Dark Mode,” a cookie tells us that so you don’t have to change it every time you visit.

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the site to function.

  • Analytics Cookies: We use these to see which game guides are trending so we can create more of what you love.

  • Advertising Cookies: We may host ads to keep our guides free. These third-party partners (like Google AdSense) might use cookies to show you relevant gaming gear instead of random products.

How to Opt-Out: You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some parts of Gamerts.sbs may not function perfectly without them.

4. New York Specific Privacy Rights

Since we are based in New York City, we pay special attention to the NY SHIELD Act. This means we have implemented “reasonable safeguards” to protect your information.

The Right to Know and Access

You have the right to ask us what data we have on you. We will provide this information within 30 days, free of charge.

The Right to Deletion (The “Forget Me” Rule)

If you want your comments or account info gone, just ask. We will scrub your personal identifiers from our database, provided there isn’t a legal reason we have to keep it (like tax records for a giveaway win).

5. Children’s Privacy (A Gaming Priority)

Gaming is for everyone, but the law is very specific about kids. In compliance with COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) and the New York Child Data Protection Act, Gamerts.sbs does not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of 13.

If you are a parent and believe your child has provided us with personal info, please call Farhan Ahamed at 916-264-9851. We will delete that data immediately. We believe in a safe internet for the next generation of gamers.

6. How We Protect Your Data

We don’t just leave your data sitting in a text file. We use:

  1. SSL Encryption: Look for the padlock icon in your browser—that means your connection to Gamerts.sbs is secure.

  2. Firewalls: We use professional-grade digital barriers to keep hackers away from our database.

  3. Limited Access: Only Farhan Ahamed and essential staff have access to the “backend” of our site.

7. Third-Party Links

Our guides often link to external sites (like official game stores, Steam, or hardware manufacturers). Once you click those links, you are leaving Gamerts.sbs. We cannot control the privacy practices of other websites, so we encourage you to check their policies too.

8. Data Retention: How Long Do We Keep Info?

We don’t keep your data forever.

  • Comments: Stay up as long as the article is live, or until you ask us to remove them.

  • Analytics: Usually purged or fully anonymized after 24 months.

  • Email Subs: Kept until you hit the “Unsubscribe” button at the bottom of any email.

9. Changes to This Policy

The gaming world moves fast, and laws change too. Whenever we update this policy, we will change the “Last Updated” date at the top. If the changes are massive, we will post a notice on our homepage.

10. Contacting Farhan Ahamed

If you have a question, a complaint, or just want to exercise your privacy rights, we are easy to reach. We are real people, not a faceless corporation.
