Welcome to Virtual Reality Games (“we,” “us,” or “our”). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit https://virtualrealitygames.co.za (the “Website”) and use our services.
1. Information We Collect
Personal Information
When you register for an account, subscribe to our newsletter, participate in our forums, or otherwise contact us, we may collect a variety of personal identifiers that enable us to provide—and you to access—our services. This information can include your full name, email address, billing and shipping addresses, phone number, username, password, and other account credentials. In certain cases (for example, when you make a purchase or sign up for paid features), we may also collect payment details such as credit card numbers or other billing information. We use these details to verify your identity, process transactions, communicate important updates, and personalize your experience on Virtual Reality Games.
Technical Data
Each time you visit our website or interact with our services, our servers automatically record technical information about your device and how you use our site. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, device identifiers, pages viewed, time spent on each page, clickstreams, and the URL of the site that referred you here. We rely on this data to monitor site performance, diagnose technical issues, prevent fraud and unauthorized activity, and improve the overall quality and functionality of our platform.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
To recognize your browser on return visits, remember your preferences, and gain insights into how you interact with Virtual Reality Games, we employ cookies, web beacons, local storage, and similar tracking tools. Session cookies allow you to stay logged in and carry items in your shopping cart; persistent cookies remember your settings so you don't have to reconfigure them each time you visit. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings or by using our cookie consent banner; however, turning off certain cookies may limit the functionality of some features.
2. How We Use Your Information

- Process transactions and send you related information: When you make a purchase or subscribe to premium features, we use your billing details to securely authorize payments, generate receipts, and issue invoices.

3. Disclosure of Your Information
Service Providers
We may engage trusted third-party vendors and contractors to perform essential services on our behalf—such as payment processing, cloud hosting, email delivery, customer support, and analytics. These partners receive only the personal information necessary to carry out their specific functions and are contractually prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.
Legal Requirements
If we receive a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable laws, we may share your information with government authorities. We may also disclose data when needed to investigate suspected fraud, threat to safety, or violations of our terms.
Business Transfers
In the event that Virtual Reality Games undergoes a merger, acquisition, reorganization, asset sale, or bankruptcy, your personal information may be among the assets transferred to the succeeding entity. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before such a change in ownership or control occurs.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
- Remember login & preferences: We use cookies to keep you logged in and store customized display settings (like preferred language, video quality, or theme) so you don't have to reconfigure them each time.
- Understand usage patterns: Analytics cookies collect anonymous data about how visitors interact with our website to help us identify popular content and resolve navigational issues.
- Improve performance: Performance cookies enable us to monitor server response times, download speeds, and support A/B testing of interface designs to ensure a high-quality experience.
- Controlling Cookies: Most web browsers allow you to manage or disable cookies through settings panels. Turning off certain cookies may limit your ability to use some features.
5. Third-Party Links and Services
Our Website may include links to external sites and services—such as social media platforms, payment gateways, or partner websites—to enhance your experience. These third-party sites operate under their own terms of use and privacy practices, which may differ from ours. We do not control, endorse, or assume any responsibility for the content, security measures, or data-handling practices of those external entities.
6. Data Security
Security Measures
We employ a multi-layered approach to safeguard your data at every stage of its lifecycle. All information transmitted between your device and our servers is protected using industry-standard encryption protocols (such as TLS), ensuring that data remains confidential in transit. On our end, we store sensitive information in encrypted formats and leverage firewalls to block unauthorized traffic.
Organizational Safeguards and Disclaimer
We enforce strict access controls so that only authorized personnel can view or handle your personal data. However, because no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed entirely risk-free, we cannot promise absolute security. We encourage you to protect your account by choosing a strong, unique password and enabling two-factor authentication.
7. Data Retention
We keep your personal information only for as long as it remains necessary to provide the services you've requested and to support the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. For example, we retain account credentials and billing details for the duration of your active subscription or membership, plus an additional period to allow for any billing disputes.
We also maintain certain records to comply with applicable laws and regulations, such as tax or financial-reporting rules that require us to preserve transaction data for a minimum number of years. Once the retention period expires, we securely dispose of or irreversibly redact the information.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, update, or delete: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, request corrections to errors, or request erasure of your data.
- Object or restrict processing: You can ask us to stop or restrict further processing of your information if you believe we are processing it unlawfully.
- Request portability: You can request a machine-readable copy of the personal information you've provided to transfer to another service provider.
- Withdraw consent: If any data-processing activities rely on consent, you can revoke that consent at any time.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our services are not intended for use by children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone in that age group. If we become aware that we have inadvertently gathered data from a child under 16, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our systems.
10. International Data Transfers
Your personal data may be stored, processed, and transmitted across borders—both within our corporate group and with third-party service providers—whose servers and facilities are located in countries outside your country of residence, including South Africa and other jurisdictions. By continuing to use our services, you consent to these cross-border transfers.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect updates in our practices, legal requirements, or new features. Each time we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of the document. Continued use of our services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
