Short version: we collect the minimum required to run an account system and a moderated community, we do not sell it, and we do not run advertising or third-party tracking.
What we collect

- We do not run advertising networks or advertising cookies

Sign-in
Authentication is Google OAuth. We receive your email address, display name, profile picture URL and a stable account identifier. We never receive or store a password.
You can revoke this site's access from your Google account settings at any time.
You can request access, correction or deletion at any time through account and data deletion. What we publish and how we source it is covered in our editorial policy.
Official video embeds
The media page uses YouTube's privacy-enhanced embed domain to show Rockstar's official trailers. We do not add YouTube analytics or advertising code, and the players do not autoplay.
Loading or playing an embedded video sends a request to YouTube, which may process device and playback information under Google's privacy policy. Every video also has a direct Rockstar source link if you prefer not to use the embedded player.
Your rights
You can request a copy of your data, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for your account and its content to be deleted. The account and data deletion page explains the process.
Deleting your account removes your profile and anonymises your posts. Content that other members have replied to is anonymised rather than removed, so that conversations remain readable.
Frequently asked questions
