   Advertising: We also work with Third-Party service providers to help determine what promotional content is most relevant and appropriate to you and your interests. These service providers may use cookies to deliver targeted advertising or limit the number of times you see an advertisement. This helps companies improve the effectiveness of their campaigns and the quality of content presented to you. These cookies may be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the tracking technologies and activities of, Third-Party service providers. Please review their separate privacy policies.

We will need to verify your identity before processing your request, which may require us to request additional personal information from you or require you to log into your account. In certain circumstances, we may decline or limit your request, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity or locate your information in our systems, or as permitted by law.

   • To exercise your Right to Know or your Right to Request Deletion: Submit a request by emailing privacy@gamersx.gg and including your account name and mobile telephone number as well as the consumer right you would like to exercise. We may need to contact you to request additional information to verify your request. We will process your request and send an email confirmation once your request has been fulfilled.

Authorized agents must submit the request via email to privacy@gamersx.gg and include a signed letter from you confirming the agent has permission to submit the request on your behalf. In certain circumstances, we may need to request additional information to verify the identity of the user about whom the request is being made and/or to verify that the user has provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request, and it may take additional time to fulfil agent-submitted requests. Please note that for privacy and security reasons, we will direct future communications to the user on whose behalf the request was made. We may deny a request in the event we are not able to verify the authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf.
