Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 6, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to PixelForge ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we handle data. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our esports tracking platform at pixelforge-gg.com (the "Service").
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information We Do NOT Collect
PixelForge is designed with privacy in mind. We do not:
- Require user accounts or registration
- Collect personal identification information
- Store passwords or payment information
- Track individual user behavior across sessions
- Sell or share any data with third parties for advertising
2.2 Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, our servers may automatically log basic technical information:
- IP address (for security and rate limiting purposes)
- Browser type and version
- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring website
This data is used solely for maintaining service security and improving performance. It is not used to identify individual users.
3. Third-Party Services & Embedded Content
Our Service integrates with and displays content from third-party platforms. When you interact with embedded content, those platforms may collect data according to their own privacy policies.
Twitch
We embed live streams from Twitch. When viewing Twitch content, Twitch may collect data as described in their Privacy Notice. We use Twitch embeds in compliance with their Developer Agreement.
YouTube
We embed video content from YouTube. YouTube embeds are subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Riot Games (League of Legends, Valorant)
We display esports data related to Riot Games titles. We are not affiliated with Riot Games. All Riot Games content is subject to Riot Games Privacy Notice. We comply with Riot Games' Legal Policies regarding fan sites.
🐼 PandaScore API
We use PandaScore API to fetch esports match data, schedules, and statistics. PandaScore is a licensed data provider. No personal user data is shared with PandaScore.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
PixelForge uses minimal cookies and local storage for:
- Session preferences: Theme settings, dismissed notifications
- Performance: Caching API responses to reduce load times
We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics services that track individual users. Embedded content (Twitch, YouTube) may set their own cookies as per their privacy policies.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect our Service:
- HTTPS encryption for all connections
- Regular security updates and monitoring
- No storage of sensitive personal data
6. Children's Privacy
Our Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
7. Your Rights
Since we do not collect personal data requiring user accounts, there is no personal data to access, modify, or delete. You can clear any locally stored preferences by clearing your browser's local storage and cookies.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy regularly.
