EZ CD Key (“we”, “us”) operates ezcdkey.com (this blog) and the giveaway platform at work.ezcdkey.com. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it in plain language because privacy policies only work when people can actually read them.
Information we collect
- Contact form: when you write to us we receive the name, email address, and message you choose to send. We use it only to reply and do not add you to any mailing list.
- Giveaway accounts: if you sign in to our giveaway platform with Steam, we receive your public Steam profile information (Steam ID, display name, avatar). We never see your Steam password.
- Log data: like nearly every website, our server records standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, used for security and to keep the site working.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. We use them for essential site functions (such as keeping you signed in to the giveaway platform) and, as described below, third-party advertising partners may set their own cookies when you visit.
You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site (such as sign-in) from working.
Advertising and Google AdSense
This site displays advertising served by Google AdSense. Advertising is how we keep the blog free to read and helps fund our free game key giveaways. You should know the following:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of many third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
- For more detail on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, ads will only use personalized cookies where you have given consent, and you may withdraw or change that consent at any time.
Your rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on where you live, you have the right to:
- Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
- Ask us to correct or delete that data;
- Object to or restrict certain processing;
- Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.
To exercise any of these rights, use our contact page or email contact@ezcdkey.com. We respond to every verified request within 30 days.
Data retention and security
Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to handle your request. Giveaway account data is kept while your account is active; you may request deletion at any time. All traffic to our sites is encrypted with HTTPS, and we store only the minimum data the services need to function.
Children’s privacy
Our sites are intended for a general audience and are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Third-party links
Our articles link to external sites (game stores, official documentation, tools). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites and encourage you to read their policies.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the blog.
