Last updated September 25, 2026. This explains what we collect, why we collect it and the choices available to you.
At Gameathon, we understand that your personal information matters. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, when we share it and the choices available to you when you use the Gameathon website, mobile application and related services.
Gameathon is operated by Gameathon NG (“Gameathon”, “we”, “us” or “our”). By using Gameathon, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
The information we collect depends on how you use Gameathon.
When you create an account or use Gameathon, we may collect information such as:
We will only request information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant Gameathon service or purpose.
When you play Gameathon, we may collect information about your activity, including games played, matches entered, match results, tournament participation, scores, game history, rewards, wallet transactions, referrals, promotions used, account activity, and device and session information. This helps us operate the platform, display your game history, calculate results and rewards, prevent fraud and improve the service.
When you make a payment, deposit funds or request a withdrawal, we may collect information necessary to process and record the transaction. Depending on the payment method, this may include transaction references, payment status, account details and other information required by our payment providers.
Where payment processing is handled by a third-party provider, that provider may collect and process payment information under its own privacy policy.
When you use Gameathon, we may automatically collect technical information such as device type, operating system, app version, IP address, device identifiers, browser information, network information, crash reports, log information, and the date and time of activity. We use this to operate and secure Gameathon, diagnose technical problems and understand how the service is being used.
Gameathon may request access to location information where a feature requires it or where location is necessary for security, compliance or service availability. We will request permission where required by your device or applicable law. You can control location permissions through your device settings.
We may use personal information to:
We may also use aggregated or de-identified information for analytics, research and product improvement where the information can no longer reasonably be used to identify you.
Depending on the circumstances, we process personal information because it is necessary to provide the service you requested, necessary to perform our agreement with you, based on your consent where consent is required, in our legitimate interest to operate, secure and improve Gameathon, necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, or necessary to protect our users, platform or legal rights.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent where applicable. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that was lawfully carried out before the withdrawal.
Because Gameathon may provide features involving monetary transactions, we may need to verify information about an account, including confirming your identity, age, account ownership or transaction activity. We may use third-party verification providers to assist with these checks.
If you do not provide information required for a necessary verification process, certain Gameathon features may not be available to you.
We do not sell your personal information as a business. We may share information with trusted third parties where necessary to provide and protect Gameathon, including:
We require third-party service providers that process personal information on our behalf to handle that information appropriately and in accordance with applicable requirements.
Some service providers used by Gameathon may process information outside Nigeria or outside the country where you are located. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the transfer and subsequent processing comply with applicable data protection requirements.
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. These may include access controls, authentication, encryption where appropriate, secure infrastructure, monitoring and other security practices.
No internet service can guarantee absolute security. You are also responsible for protecting your account credentials and keeping your device secure.
We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. The retention period depends on the type of information and why we collected it — for example, certain transaction, account and verification records may need to be retained for longer periods because of legal, regulatory, accounting, fraud prevention or dispute-resolution requirements.
When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymise it or securely dispose of it in accordance with applicable requirements.
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the website functioning, remember preferences, understand website usage, improve performance, detect security issues, and measure the effectiveness of our communications.
Where required, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies. You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings.
We may send you service-related communications such as account notifications, security alerts, transaction updates, game or tournament notifications, and important changes to our services.
Where permitted and where you have given the required consent, we may also send marketing communications about Gameathon. You can unsubscribe from marketing communications using the available unsubscribe option or by contacting us. Some important service communications cannot be opted out of because they are necessary for operating your account.
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:
Some rights may be subject to legal or regulatory limitations. To exercise a privacy right, contact us using the details below.
You may request that your Gameathon account be closed. Closing an account does not necessarily mean that every record associated with the account will be immediately deleted.
We may retain certain information where required or permitted by law, including information relating to financial transactions, fraud prevention, disputes, security, legal obligations and regulatory requirements.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a person who is not eligible to use Gameathon, we may take steps to restrict the account and delete the information where appropriate and legally permitted. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to Gameathon, please contact us.
Gameathon may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. Those services have their own privacy practices. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services that Gameathon does not control. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party service before providing personal information.
Gameathon may monitor account and game activity to protect the integrity of competitions and the security of the platform, analysing information such as login activity, device information, game behaviour, transaction activity and connection information. We may use automated systems and manual reviews to identify suspicious activity.
Where appropriate, information may be used to investigate cheating, collusion, account takeover, payment fraud, abuse or other violations of our Terms of Service.
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services change, when we introduce new features or when applicable privacy requirements change. When we make significant changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify users. The updated version will be published on the Gameathon website with a new “Last Updated” date.
