We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data, but no system is completely secure. See the Security page for details and reporting guidance.
9. Children’s privacy
GameTrakt is not intended for children under the minimum age required by applicable law in your jurisdiction. If you believe a child provided personal data without appropriate consent, contact us so we can investigate and act.
