How long GME Zone keeps your information
GME Zone retains personal information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter. The specific retention periods depend on the type of information and the relevant legal requirements:
- Account registration and verification records are typically retained for a minimum period after account closure to satisfy legal and regulatory requirements.
- Transaction, wager, and payment records are retained to support dispute resolution, audit requirements, and applicable financial regulations.
- Support communications and complaint records are kept while the matter remains open and for a reasonable period after resolution.
- Access logs and device records may be held for shorter periods used in fraud detection and security monitoring.
When data is no longer required, GME Zone works to delete or anonymise it. If you request deletion but GME Zone has a legal obligation to retain certain information, GME Zone will explain why the retention is required and what it covers.

How GME Zone protects your personal data
GME Zone applies security measures intended to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or loss. These include access controls that restrict which staff and systems can view specific records, data transmission practices that reduce interception risk, and monitoring that helps GME Zone detect unusual activity in a timely manner.
No online platform can guarantee complete security, and GME Zone cannot be responsible for risks that arise from your own device, network, or account management practices. You can improve your own security by using a strong, unique password for your GME Zone account, avoiding shared devices for sensitive activity, signing out after each session, and contacting GME Zone promptly if you suspect something is wrong.

- Keeping your login session active while you navigate between pages.
- Remembering your account preferences for display or payment options.
- Measuring how GME Zone pages are used so the platform can be improved.
- Detecting unusual access patterns that may indicate fraud or unauthorised account use.
