Privacy & Data

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 2026. Your privacy is paramount. GameHood.uk operates under a strict data-minimization philosophy: we do not sell user data, we do not require account sign-ups, and all gameplay progress remains stored locally on your device.

No Account Required

You can freely browse, search, and play any game on GameHood.uk without ever submitting your name, email address, password, or payment information. We believe gaming should be instantaneous, private, and barrier-free.

Local Storage, Cookies & Saved Games

To provide core interactive features, GameHood utilizes modern browser storage APIs:

  • LocalStorage: Retains your favorited games list, recently played titles, and sidebar UI preferences.
  • IndexedDB: Securely houses virtual memory card states, checkpoint saves, and custom keybindings inside your own browser sandbox. These saves are never uploaded to remote servers.
  • Essential Cookies: Lightweight cookies used exclusively for basic session state, load balancing, and performance routing.

Analytics & Third-Party Services

We may monitor anonymized, aggregated metrics (such as page response latency, game load completion rates, and device categories) to optimize emulator rendering performance and diagnose broken assets.

Third-party content delivery networks (CDNs) and advertising partners may collect standard web server request information (such as your IP address and user-agent string) solely to deliver optimized static media assets and prevent fraudulent bot traffic.
