Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 10, 2026

Last Updated: October 10, 2026

Welcome to Diwa Games (“we,” “our,” or “us”). Diwa Games is an independent app distribution and game review platform that allows users to discover, review, and safely download mobile and PC games.

We are committed to respecting your privacy and protecting the personal data you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our platform or use our services.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in three ways: directly from you, automatically through your use of the platform, and through third-party partners.

A. Information You Provide Directly

• Account Information: When you register an account, we may collect your username, email address, password, and optional profile details (avatar, bio).
• User Content: Content you submit to the platform, including game reviews, ratings, comments, forum posts, developer submissions, and customer support queries.
• Developer Verification Data: If you submit games as a developer, we may collect contact details, developer name/studio, and external website links.

B. Information Collected Automatically

• Usage & Analytics Data: Pages viewed, search terms, games downloaded, download speeds, session durations, and interaction with reviews or advertisements.
• Device & Technical Information: IP address, device type, operating system version, browser type, hardware architecture, unique device identifiers, and language preferences.
• Log Data: Server logs containing request timestamps, error reports, and HTTP headers to monitor security and platform health.

C. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and local storage to keep you logged in, save download preferences, prevent fraudulent activity, and analyze site traffic. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may lose functionality.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• Service Provision: To host, manage, and deliver app downloads, game reviews, and user accounts.
• Platform Security: To scan uploaded and downloadable files for malware, detect fraudulent traffic, prevent illegal activity, and secure our infrastructure.
• Community Features: To publish user reviews, display community ratings, and enable discussion boards.
• Analytics & Improvement: To analyze user behavior, improve download speeds, troubleshoot bugs, and optimize site navigation.
• Communication: To send system notifications, security alerts, updates regarding developer submissions, and responses to support tickets.
• Compliance & Legal Obligations: To comply with legal standard requirements, respond to lawful requests, and enforce our Terms of Service.

3. App Security and File Safety Disclaimer

Diwa Games acts as an independent download catalog. To ensure user safety:

• Malware Scanning: We run static and dynamic safety checks on downloadable files before publishing.
• Third-Party Developer Content: While we endeavor to review all files, downloading independent software carries inherent risks. Users are encouraged to run local antivirus checks on downloaded files.
• External Links: Game listings may link to external developer stores or official websites. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of external third-party sites.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We only share information under the following circumstances:

• Publicly Visible Data: Your username, profile picture, published reviews, game ratings, and public comments are visible to all visitors.
• Service Providers: We share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our infrastructure (e.g., hosting providers, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), error monitoring, and security services).
• Legal Compliance & Protection: We may disclose data if required by law, subpoena, or government regulation, or if necessary to protect the rights, safety, and property of Diwa Games, its users, or the public.
• Business Transfers: If Diwa Games is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide our services.

• Account Data: Retained until you request account deletion.
• Log Data: Retained for a limited duration (typically 30–90 days) for security analysis and debugging.
• Public Content: Reviews and forum posts may remain on the site even if an account is closed, though they can be anonymized upon request.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as under GDPR, CCPA, or applicable regional privacy laws), you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access & Export: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: You can update or correct inaccurate profile details directly from your account settings.
• Deletion (“Right to be Forgotten”): You may request that we delete your personal data and account.
• Opt-Out of Analytics: You can disable tracking cookies via your browser or opt out of non-essential third-party analytics tools.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided below.

7. Children’s Privacy

Diwa Games is not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain regions). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us immediately so we can take steps to remove the data.

8. International Data Transfers

Diwa Games operates globally. Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in servers located outside your country of residence, where data protection laws may differ. By using the platform, you consent to the transfer of your information to our global infrastructure.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect platform updates, technical changes, or legal obligations. When changes are made, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this page regularly.
