Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 16, 2026

Introduction

GG Central ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, create an account, book a session, or otherwise engage with our services.

Information We Collect

Account & Personal Information

When you create an account, book a session, or purchase a pass, we may collect:

  • Full name and username
  • Email address and phone number (optional)
  • Booking details (station, date, time, duration)
  • Gaming pass, coin balance, and purchase history associated with your account

Sign-In & Verification

We use one-time passcodes sent to your email to verify your identity when signing in. We never store your passcode beyond its short expiry window, and account passwords (if set) are stored using industry-standard hashing, never in plain text.

Payment Information

Online payments for gaming passes and hour credit are processed by Stripe, our third-party payment processor. We do not receive or store your full card number, expiry date, or CVC — Stripe handles that data directly under its own security and compliance standards.

Contact Form Submissions

If you contact us through our website, we collect your name, email, optional phone number, and message. We use a self-hosted verification check on our contact form to prevent automated spam; this check does not collect or store any personal information.

Usage Information

We automatically collect information about your interactions with our website and services:

  • IP address and device information
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Referring website
  • Session bookings and gaming activity

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience (including keeping you signed in), analyze usage patterns, and remember your preferences. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Create and manage your account
  • Process bookings, gaming pass purchases, and payments
  • Verify your identity when signing in with a one-time passcode
  • Send booking confirmations, receipts, and service updates
  • Respond to contact form submissions and inquiries
  • Improve our services and website functionality
  • Send promotional emails (with your consent)
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Prevent fraud, spam, and ensure facility and account security

Information Sharing & Disclosure

We may share your information with:

  • Booking & Point-of-Sale Platform: GGLeap, our session management and point-of-sale system, to process and manage reservations, accounts, and purchases
  • Payment Processor: Stripe, to securely process online card payments for passes and hour credit
  • Email Service Provider: Resend, to deliver account, sign-in, booking, and contact form emails
  • Legal Authorities: When required by law or to protect our rights and safety

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption, secure servers, and access controls. Our in-lounge stations are locked down with scripting tools disabled and no keylogging or monitoring software, and we never store gaming platform credentials (such as Steam logins) on our systems. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights & Choices

You have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Correction: Update or correct inaccurate information
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information and account (subject to legal obligations)
  • Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time
  • Data Portability: Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@ggcentral.ca

Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for children under 13. Players under 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent.

Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites and services (e.g., Stripe, Discord, social media). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. Please review their privacy policies before providing any information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
