3. Terms of Use
3.1 Acceptance
By using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
3.2 Intellectual property
All site content (articles, reviews, interviews, images, video embeds, and layouts) is owned by Fix Gaming Channel or its licensors unless stated otherwise. Linking is welcome. Copying or re-publishing requires prior written permission, except for short quotes with attribution. Trademarks and game assets remain the property of their respective owners.
3.3 Editorial independence & disclosures
We may receive review keys, partner access, or use affiliate links; we disclose material relationships where relevant. Opinions remain independent. Paid services through Fix Access do not guarantee editorial coverage; any sponsored material is labeled.
3.4 Submissions & license (e.g., Fix Stories)
If you submit text or images, you confirm you have the rights. You grant FGC a non-exclusive, worldwide license to publish, host, store, index, and archive your submission with full credit. You retain copyright. We may lightly edit for clarity/format without changing your voice and will share edits for approval before publishing. We are not obliged to publish or return materials and may remove content for legal or editorial reasons.
3.5 Acceptable use
Do not misuse the site (e.g., attempt to breach security, scrape at scale, harvest emails, interfere with service, or infringe IP). Automated access beyond normal browsing is prohibited without our written consent. We may restrict access for violations.
3.6 Links, embeds & third-party services
We link to and embed third-party services (e.g., Rumble, YouTube, Steam). Their content and policies are their responsibility. Use of third-party services may be subject to their terms.
3.7 Availability
We aim for high uptime but the site may be unavailable at times for maintenance, hosting, or network issues.
3.8 Disclaimers
Content is provided “as is.” We strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee completeness. Nothing on this site is legal, financial, or professional advice. Use the site at your own risk.
3.9 Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, FGC and its contributors are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site, even if advised of the possibility. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions; in such cases, liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
3.10 Indemnity
You agree to indemnify FGC for losses arising from your unlawful use of the site or violation of these Terms, including IP infringement and abusive conduct.
3.11 Governing law & venue
These Terms (and any non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by Norwegian law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Exclusive venue is the Oslo District Court (Oslo tingrett). Publication is made from Norway; mere accessibility elsewhere does not, by itself, submit us to other jurisdictions. Mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence may also apply where required by law.
3.12 Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms; continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
4. What we collect
- Information you provide: name, email, biography, links, and any content you send (stories, screenshots with titles/captions/alt text, press kits). For Fix Access, see the Addendum below.
- Automatic data: IP address, browser/device type, general location (city/country), pages viewed, referrers, timestamps, and interaction data captured by our host/CDN and security tools for operation, performance, and abuse prevention.
- From third parties/embeds: When you interact with embedded media (e.g., Rumble, YouTube) or Steam store widgets, those services may collect data under their own policies.
5. How we use data & legal bases
- Site operation & security (legitimate interests/contract): deliver pages, prevent abuse, keep services running.
- Editorial workflows (contract/legitimate interests): review, edit for clarity/format without changing your voice, publish, credit you, and communicate about your submission.
- Newsletter (consent): send updates via Mailchimp; you can unsubscribe anytime.
- Legal compliance (legal obligation): fulfill rights requests, keep required records, enforce terms, and comply with applicable laws.
- Advertising & measurement (legitimate interests and/or consent where required): support the site and understand performance of content and ads, depending on regional consent requirements and configuration.
6. Cookies & similar tech
We use a mix of necessary site cookies/technologies (for security and basic operation) and, where enabled, measurement and advertising technologies to support the site.
- Necessary / security: Our host/CDN and security tools may set essential cookies or use similar signals to deliver pages, prevent abuse, and keep the site stable.
- Measurement (Analytics): We may use analytics (e.g., Google Analytics via Site Kit) to understand aggregated site usage (such as page views and traffic sources). This may use cookies or similar identifiers depending on configuration and region.
- Advertising (AdSense): We display limited ads through Google AdSense. AdSense may use cookies or similar identifiers to serve and measure ads, including non-personalized ads and, where permitted, personalized ads. Ad formats may include in-page ads and overlay-style formats (such as anchors) depending on device and settings.
- Embeds: When you interact with embedded media (e.g., Rumble, YouTube) or Steam widgets, those services may collect data under their own policies.
In some regions (such as the EEA/UK), advertising and/or analytics may be limited until you make a consent choice where required. You can also control cookies through your browser settings and device controls.
7. Affiliates, promotions & independence
Some posts may include affiliate links or review keys/partner access. We disclose material relationships where relevant. Opinions remain independent. We do not knowingly sell personal information as defined by CPRA. Where certain advertising-related transfers are treated as “sharing” under some laws, you can contact us to request an opt-out where applicable (see Sections 15 and 19).
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under GDPR/UK GDPR or the California CPRA.
To submit a request, email legal@fixgamingchannel.com. We may verify your identity. We aim to respond within: 1 month (GDPR/UK GDPR/PH) and 45 days (CPRA), with permitted extensions where necessary.
9. Children’s data
Our site is not directed to children and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 (or under 16 where applicable). If you believe we have collected such data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
10. Accounts & comments
We do not offer user logins or public comments. You can read our content without creating an account.
11. Processors & sharing
We share data with service providers solely to run the site and our communications, under appropriate safeguards: WordPress/hosting, security firewall (e.g., Wordfence), CDN/anti-DDoS, email/newsletter provider (Mailchimp), analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), advertising (Google AdSense), and embedded media hosts (Rumble, YouTube) and Steam widgets. We do not knowingly sell personal information or disclose it for unlawful cross-context behavioral advertising.
12. Security & retention
We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards suitable for a small publisher. No method is 100% secure. Typical retention: submission correspondence up to 24 months (longer if published/legally necessary); security logs 30–180 days; newsletter data until you unsubscribe or your address deactivates; legal/accounting records as required by law.
13. International transfers
We may process data globally. When required, we rely on safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses and provider DPAs for transfers outside your jurisdiction. We do not currently maintain an EU/UK representative; if our processing changes such that this is required, we will designate one and update this notice.
14. External links
Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
15. Do Not Track; sale/share opt-outs
Browsers may send a “Do Not Track” signal; we do not respond to DNT as no standard is widely adopted. We do not knowingly sell personal information. We may use third-party services (such as Google AdSense) to display ads and measure performance; depending on your region and settings, this may involve limited sharing of device/usage data for ad delivery and measurement. Where an opt-out right applies (e.g., California), you can submit a request by emailing legal@fixgamingchannel.com.
16. Fix Access — Developer Services (Addendum)
If you work with us through Fix Access (e.g., mock reviews, PR/outreach support, press-kit/trailer consulting), we may process contact details, business information, assets you share (documents, screenshots, builds/keys), and correspondence. We use this to perform the services (contract), operate securely (legitimate interests), and meet legal obligations. We keep engagement records for the duration of the project plus up to 24 months (longer if legally required). We use standard tools for email, storage, project tracking, and invoicing; if a non-standard tool is required, we will disclose it during onboarding. NDAs and confidentiality commitments—if applicable—apply in addition to this Notice. Editorial independence: paid services do not guarantee coverage, and any sponsored content is clearly labeled. You agree not to provide unauthorized keys or materials and not to request removal of accurate, independent editorial.
17. Security & Vulnerability Disclosure Policy (VDP)
We welcome good-faith security research.
Scope
In scope: fixgamingchannel.com and subpages, including forms/session handling. Out of scope: social accounts; denial-of-service/resource-exhaustion tests; spam/SEO issues; best-practice advice without exploitable impact; physical or social-engineering attacks.
How to report
Email legal@fixgamingchannel.com with type/impact (CWE if known), affected URLs, reproduction steps, minimal PoC (no DoS/automation), and evidence (redact personal data).
Our commitments
- Acknowledge valid reports within 3 business days.
- Status update within 10 business days.
- Coordinate disclosure; default remediation target 90 days.
Research rules & safe harbor
- No service disruption, resource exhaustion, or spam.
- Only access your own data; if you unintentionally access non-public personal data, stop and report immediately.
- No social engineering of our team or providers.
If you follow this policy, limit testing to scope, avoid privacy violations, and promptly report findings, we will not pursue or support legal action related to good-faith research. Our security contact and policy are also published at /.well-known/security.txt.
18. Breach notification & legal notes
If a reported issue leads to or reveals a personal-data breach creating risk to individuals, we will assess and notify as required—e.g., under GDPR/UK GDPR (regulatory notice typically within 72 hours when applicable), the Philippines Data Privacy Act and National Privacy Commission rules, and relevant US state breach laws. This policy does not authorize testing that violates applicable law.
19. Notices for California residents (CPRA)
- Categories collected: identifiers (e.g., email), internet activity (e.g., log data), and user-submitted content.
- Purposes: site operation, security, communications, editorial workflows.
- Sensitive data: we do not intend to collect or infer sensitive personal information.
- Sale/Share: We do not knowingly sell personal information. We may use advertising partners (e.g., Google AdSense) to display ads and measure performance; if “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising applies under CPRA in a given scenario, California residents may opt out by contacting legal@fixgamingchannel.com.
- Retention: see Section 12.
- Rights: know, delete, correct, opt-out of sale/share, limit use of sensitive PI, non-discrimination. Submit requests via legal@fixgamingchannel.com. Authorized agents may act with proof of authority and we may still require user verification.
20. Takedowns & IP complaints (DMCA-style)
If you believe content on our site infringes your rights, email legal@fixgamingchannel.com with: your contact details; description of the work; URL of the allegedly infringing material; a statement of good-faith belief; and a statement that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act. We may remove content while we assess the claim.
