Privacy Policy
gta6-leaks.com is committed to transparent, privacy-first journalism, strict data minimization, and full compliance with global advertising and data protection standards.
1. Core Privacy Principles & Data Minimization
We collect as little data as possible. You do not need to create an account, provide payment information, or share personal details to read our articles, rumor trackers, interactive guides, or archives.
We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade visitor data under any circumstances.
2. Information We Collect
A. Messages Sent via Contact Forms
When you send us a message, correction, or rumor tip via our contact form, we only receive what you type: your name or handle, email address, and message. We only use this information to review your note and reply to you.
B. Standard Web Server Logs
Like nearly all websites, our web host (such as Vercel CDN) automatically receives basic technical logs needed to deliver web pages securely and block attacks. These logs include IP addresses and browser types, which are automatically deleted according to industry security standards.
3. Cookies, Third-Party Advertising & Tracking Technologies
This website utilizes cookies, web beacons, and local browser storage to provide functional user experiences and to support our independent journalism through digital advertising networks, including Google AdSense.
A. Third-Party Vendor & Google Advertising Cookies
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve advertisements based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites across the Internet.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalized and non-personalized advertisements to our visitors based on their visit to gta6-leaks.com and/or other websites on the Internet.
B. How Users Can Opt Out of Personalized Advertising
You have the absolute right to manage, restrict, or opt out of personalized digital advertising at any time through the following consumer choice portals:
- Google Ads Settings: Users may manage Google ad personalization directly by visiting Google My Ad Center (myad.google.com).
- Digital Advertising Alliance (US): Opt out of third-party behavioral targeting via aboutads.info/choices.
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): Opt out across participating networks at optout.networkadvertising.org.
- European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA): Visitors in Europe may customize preferences via youronlinechoices.eu.
C. Functional Client Storage
Our platform also utilizes browser localStorage solely for functional client-side preferences (such as remembering your chosen language edition across page navigations and recording your consent preferences). These functional preferences never leave your browser device and are never sold or shared.
4. Global Privacy Rights & Consent Management (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA)
Regardless of your geographic location, we respect your fundamental privacy rights under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA):
- Right of Access & Portability: You may request a summary of any direct communications you have submitted.
- Right of Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You may request the permanent deletion of any past email or contact correspondence.
- Right of Rectification: You may request corrections to any factual inaccuracies submitted under your identity.
- Non-Discrimination: We provide identical access to all research and ledgers regardless of privacy preferences.
EU/UK Consent Management & Revocation
In compliance with Google's EU User Consent Policy and statutory requirements across the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, advertising and analytical cookies that require prior consent are suppressed until you actively accept them via our Consent Management banner.
You may withdraw, customize, or revoke your consent at any time by clicking the control present in the footer of every page.
5. Data Retention & Security Controls
Direct contact form inquiries are retained for a maximum of 90 days for editorial follow-up, after which they are permanently deleted from our communication inbox. All network transmissions are strictly encrypted via TLS 1.3 cryptographic protocols.
