Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 8, 2026
GameAway ("we", "us", "our") is operated by Wes Bodenhamer, a sole proprietorship (enskild firma) registered in Sweden. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under applicable privacy laws including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
If you have questions about this policy or want to exercise your rights, contact us at hello@gameaway.io.
What we collect
Information you give us directly:
- Email address, when you sign up for early access or create an account
- Account information (name, password hash) if you create an account
- Trip and itinerary data you create on the platform
- Messages you send us via contact forms or email
Information collected automatically:
- Basic analytics (pages visited, referrer, device type, country) via privacy-respecting analytics tooling. We use PostHog with EU-region hosting.
- Cookies necessary for authentication and core site functionality
- IP address and browser metadata, used for security and abuse prevention
Information from third parties:
- If you sign in via a third-party provider (e.g. Google, Apple), we receive your name and email from that provider
- Affiliate network partners may notify us of conversions you generate through our links, in aggregated form
How we use it
- To provide and operate the GameAway service
- To send you account-related emails and, with your consent, product updates
- To understand how the site is used and improve it
- To detect, prevent, and respond to fraud or abuse
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it with third parties except as described in this policy.
Affiliate links and commissions
GameAway participates in affiliate programs operated by third parties including SeatGeek, Booking.com, Discover Cars, Viator, Fanatics, and others. When you click a partner link and complete a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The third-party partner processes your transaction directly and is the data controller for that transaction. Their privacy policies govern that relationship.
We do not receive your payment details from these partners. We may receive aggregated conversion data (e.g. that a sale was made via our link, the order value, the commission earned).
Affiliate Tracking: We participate in affiliate marketing programs through Travelpayouts. When you visit GameAway, Travelpayouts may set cookies to attribute purchases you make on partner sites (such as hotels, rental cars, or experience providers) to our referrals. You can learn more about Travelpayouts’ privacy practices at https://www.travelpayouts.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies, including:
- Essential cookies for authentication and session management
- Analytics cookies for usage measurement
- Affiliate tracking cookies set by third-party affiliate networks when you click partner links
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may break parts of the site.
Where your data is stored
GameAway uses Supabase for database and authentication, with infrastructure hosted in the European Union (West Europe / London region). Site hosting is provided by Vercel, which may use globally distributed edge infrastructure.
If we transfer data outside the European Economic Area, we rely on appropriate safeguards including Standard Contractual Clauses where required.
How long we keep it
- Account data: as long as your account is active, plus up to 12 months after account deletion for legal and audit purposes
- Early access signup emails: until you ask us to remove them, or until we close the early-access program and migrate or delete the list
- Analytics data: typically retained in aggregated form for up to 24 months
- Affiliate conversion data: as long as required for accounting and tax purposes under Swedish law
Your rights
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or a jurisdiction with similar privacy laws, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Delete your data (subject to legal retention requirements)
- Restrict or object to certain processing
- Data portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In Sweden, that is the Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY).
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@gameaway.io. We will respond within 30 days.
If you are a California resident, you have similar rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect and the right to delete it. We do not sell personal information.
Children
GameAway is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by updating the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, by email to registered users.
