Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 5, 2026

GameShop Nepal (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through gameshopnepal.com, why we use it, when it may be shared, and the choices available to you.

1. Information We Collect

  • Contact information: name, email address, phone number, and delivery or communication details.
  • Order information: products, variants, quantities, prices, payment method, promo codes, store credits, order status, invoices, and order history.
  • Payment verification: payment screenshots, transaction references, sender details visible in the screenshot, and related verification information.
  • Fulfilment information: game IDs, account identifiers, usernames, custom order fields, and other details required to deliver a digital product.
  • Technical information: IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referral information, cookies, local storage, and security or fraud indicators.
  • Communications: emails, WhatsApp messages, complaints, support requests, feedback, and reviews.

Never send us a banking password, payment-app password, PIN, OTP, or complete card details. If temporary account access is genuinely required for a clearly described fulfilment process, use temporary credentials and change them after delivery.

2. How We Use Information

  • To create, verify, fulfil, track, and support orders.
  • To confirm payments and provide invoices or order-status messages.
  • To communicate through email, WhatsApp, or other selected channels.
  • To operate store credits, promotions, memberships, rewards, and customer accounts.
  • To prevent fraud, spam, abuse, unauthorized transactions, and security incidents.
  • To maintain business, financial, audit, complaint, and support records.
  • To improve our website, products, customer support, and advertising.
  • To send marketing messages where permitted and review invitations following genuine completed orders.
  • To comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations.

3. Payment and Account Security

Payment services such as eSewa, Khalti, banks, and other payment channels process transactions under their own terms and privacy policies. We generally use payment screenshots and transaction references only to verify payment. Customers are responsible for hiding unrelated balances or transactions before uploading a screenshot.

4. Sharing With Third Parties

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with trusted providers when reasonably necessary to operate the store, fulfil orders, send communications, prevent fraud, maintain records, or comply with law. These providers may include hosting and database services, email services, payment channels, Google services, Discord webhooks, analytics providers, and customer-support tools.

Trustpilot Review Invitations

After an eligible order is marked Completed, we provide Trustpilot A/S with the customer’s name, email address, and unique order reference. Trustpilot uses this limited information to schedule and send a neutral service-review invitation. We do not send Trustpilot payment screenshots, passwords, PINs, OTPs, or complete payment information for this purpose.

If you submit a review, your review and selected profile information may become publicly visible on Trustpilot and will be handled under Trustpilot’s Privacy Policy. Invitations are not conditioned on leaving a positive review, and we do not provide rewards for positive Trustpilot ratings.

Legal and Safety Disclosures

We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, enforce our terms, investigate fraud or abuse, protect customers, or defend our legal rights.

5. Cookies, Analytics and Meta Pixel

Our website uses essential browser storage and may use cookies or similar technologies for authentication, preferences, security, analytics, and advertising measurement.

We use Meta Pixel to understand website activity and measure advertising performance. Depending on browser and cookie settings, Meta may receive an IP address, browser or device identifiers, pages visited, referral information, and events such as viewing a product or completing a purchase. Meta handles this information under its Privacy Policy.

You may restrict cookies through your browser and manage advertising preferences through the relevant provider. Blocking some essential storage may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.

6. Fraud Prevention and Audit Records

We may analyze order frequency, IP address, email address, phone number, transaction history, and related signals to identify suspicious activity. Automated indicators assist staff review but do not guarantee that an order is fraudulent. Authorized administrators may maintain audit logs of staff actions and order changes.

7. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for fulfilment, customer support, fraud prevention, accounting, audits, disputes, security, and legal obligations. Retention periods vary depending on the record and applicable requirements. Information may remain temporarily in protected backups until the relevant backup cycle expires.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, access controls, authentication, and restricted staff permissions. However, no internet transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. Contact us immediately if you believe your information or account has been compromised.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. You may also withdraw marketing consent or request that we stop certain communications. We may need to verify your identity and may retain records where required for legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, or dispute purposes.

10. Children's Privacy

Customers who are not legally able to provide valid consent should use the service only with permission and supervision from a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly seek unnecessary personal information from children.

11. International Processing

Some service providers may process information outside Nepal. When using these providers, we limit information to what is reasonably necessary and rely on their applicable privacy, contractual, and security protections.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, providers, or legal obligations change. The latest version and revision date will be published on this page.
