Last updated: [20 March 2026]

1. Who we are

Warscar Gaming operates this website: https://warscar.co.uk.

Data controller: Warscar Gaming
Contact email: [email protected]
Location: United Kingdom

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your personal data is used, please contact us at [email protected].

2. What this policy covers

This Privacy Policy explains how Warscar Gaming collects, uses, stores and shares personal data when you:

  • visit this website;
  • read articles and pages;
  • leave comments;
  • interact with embedded content such as YouTube videos;
  • use website features such as cookie preferences, search, or contact-related features.

This policy is intended to help you understand what information we collect and why.

3. What personal data we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect the following:

a) Comments and discussion data

If you leave a comment, we may collect:

  • your name or username;
  • your email address;
  • the content of your comment;
  • your IP address;
  • browser and device information;
  • the date and time of the comment.

This helps us display comments, prevent spam, moderate abuse, and maintain site security.

b) Technical and usage data

When you visit the site, certain technical information may be collected automatically, such as:

  • IP address;
  • browser type;
  • device type;
  • operating system;
  • pages visited;
  • approximate location based on IP;
  • referral source;
  • site interaction data.

This may be collected through cookies, analytics tools, server logs, and similar technologies.

c) Media uploads

If you upload media to the site, that file may contain metadata. Images can sometimes contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS), so you should avoid uploading images with location data if you do not want that information to be available.

d) Account data

If user accounts are enabled on the site, we may collect information provided when you register or manage your account, such as your name, username, email address, and account preferences.

4. How we use your personal data

We use personal data to:

  • operate and maintain the website;
  • publish and moderate comments;
  • detect spam, abuse and malicious activity;
  • improve site performance and user experience;
  • understand how visitors use the site;
  • display embedded media and third-party content where you choose to interact with it;
  • comply with legal obligations;
  • protect the site, its users and its administrator.

5. Legal bases for processing

Where UK GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Legitimate interests — to operate, secure and improve the website, moderate comments, and prevent abuse;
  • Consent — where required for non-essential cookies, analytics, embedded content, or similar technologies;
  • Legal obligation — where we need to comply with applicable laws;
  • Contract — if we provide a service to you that requires processing your data.

The ICO expects organisations to explain their legal basis clearly as part of privacy information.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies.

These may include:

  • strictly necessary cookies required for core website functions;
  • preference cookies that remember your settings;
  • analytics/statistics cookies that help us understand site traffic and usage;
  • embedded-content cookies from third parties such as YouTube.

Under PECR and UK GDPR, non-essential cookies generally require clear information and valid consent. The ICO states consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and given by a clear positive action.

This site uses a cookie consent tool to manage cookie preferences. If you change your consent choices, cookies and related tracking may be enabled or disabled accordingly.

7. Comments

If comments are enabled, when you leave a comment we may collect the data shown in the comment form, together with your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection and moderation.

Comments and their metadata may be retained so that follow-up comments can be recognised and moderated more efficiently.

If a profile image service such as Gravatar is used, an anonymised hash of your email address may be sent to that service to check whether you use it. If so, that provider’s own privacy policy will apply.

8. Embedded content and third-party services

Pages and articles on this site may include embedded content and third-party services.

YouTube

This site embeds YouTube videos and may also display YouTube feed content. When you interact with embedded YouTube content, YouTube/Google may set cookies or collect information about your interaction. The ICO notes that embedded video services can involve cookies and similar technologies, and these usually require clear information and consent where they are not strictly necessary.

Google services / analytics

This site may use Google services via Site Kit, including analytics or other measurement tools. Site Kit supports Google Analytics and also documents the use of consent mode where required.

Spam prevention and security

Comments or forms may be checked using automated anti-spam or security services.

Consent management

This site uses Complianz to help manage cookie consent and privacy-related functionality. Complianz states it integrates with WordPress privacy features and can integrate with Google analytics-related consent setups.

Third-party providers act under their own privacy policies when they process data independently.

9. Who we share data with

We do not sell personal data.

We may share data with service providers only where necessary to operate the website, for example:

  • website hosting and server providers;
  • spam prevention and security tools;
  • analytics providers;
  • embedded media providers such as YouTube/Google;
  • cookie consent or compliance tools.

We may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to protect our legal rights, users, or systems.

10. How long we keep data

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, including legal, administrative, security and moderation reasons.

Examples:

  • comments and related metadata may be retained until deleted by us or requested for removal, unless we need to keep them for legal or security reasons;
  • server logs are retained for a limited period appropriate for security and administration;
  • cookie preferences may be stored for a period determined by the consent system;
  • account data, where accounts exist, is kept while the account remains active and for a reasonable period afterwards where necessary.

11. Your rights

If UK GDPR applies to you, you may have the right to:

  • request access to the personal data we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate data;
  • request deletion of your data;
  • request restriction of processing;
  • object to certain processing;
  • request portability of your data where applicable;
  • withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

These rights are not absolute and may be limited in some circumstances.

To exercise your rights, contact us at [your contact email].

You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully. ICO guidance explains that privacy information should clearly tell people how to exercise their rights and who to contact.

12. International transfers

Some third-party services we use may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards required by applicable data protection law.

13. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, misuse, loss, or disclosure. However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure.

14. Children’s privacy

This website is not intentionally directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children except where it may be submitted through normal website use such as comments. If you believe a child has provided personal data inappropriately, please contact us.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on this page with the updated date shown at the top.
