6. Third-Party Websites and Services
GhostoDev may link to or display content from external platforms, including Steam and YouTube.
These services are operated independently and may collect information when you visit their websites, click their links, or interact with embedded content. Their data collection, cookies, and privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
GhostoDev cannot control the privacy practices of external services. We encourage visitors to review the applicable policies before providing personal information or interacting with third-party features.
A link to an external platform does not, by itself, mean that GhostoDev endorses every aspect of that platform’s privacy practices.
7. Data Retention
GhostoDev retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Retention periods may depend on the type of information, why it was collected, whether an inquiry remains unresolved, security requirements, and any applicable legal obligations.
For example, contact messages may be retained for as long as needed to respond to inquiries and maintain appropriate records. Technical logs and analytics information may be retained according to the relevant provider’s settings and retention policies.
When information is no longer needed, it should be deleted or anonymized where appropriate and technically feasible, subject to any lawful retention requirements.
Verification required: Specific retention periods for contact messages, hosting logs, analytics data, and advertising data have not yet been confirmed.
8. Data Security
GhostoDev takes the protection of personal information seriously and should use appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
The appropriate measures depend on the website’s hosting environment, WordPress configuration, access controls, software updates, and the services used to process information.
No method of transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, absolute security cannot be promised.
Verification required: The actual safeguards in place must be confirmed before making specific claims about encryption, backups, access restrictions, or security monitoring.
9. International Data Transfers
Because GhostoDev is intended for a worldwide audience and may use third-party services, personal information could be processed in countries other than the country in which a visitor is located.
Where applicable privacy laws regulate international data transfers, GhostoDev should ensure that the transfers have an appropriate legal basis and that any required safeguards are implemented.
The locations in which information is processed, the providers involved, and the transfer mechanisms available depend on the hosting and third-party services actually used.
Verification required: GhostoDev’s hosting location, provider data-processing terms, and any applicable international transfer safeguards must be identified before this section is finalized.
