A clear overview of the data AREN8 uses, why it is needed and the choices available to you.
With analytics consent, we also measure steps in registration, tournament entry, game launch, first input, result display and repeat attempts. Account and game-session identifiers let us connect these steps. This measurement does not record form contents or individual keystrokes. Events are retained for up to 180 days; you can withdraw consent in cookie settings.
To avoid repeating feature tips, we store the identifiers and display times of tips seen by your account, plus your on/off preference. For guests, the same information is kept in the existing browser session. This is not browsing history or advertising tracking. You can turn tips off on the tips page.
All tipsThe controller responsible for the processing of personal data through AREN8 is Taivo Visnapuu, Estonia. AREN8 is the platform brand, not a separate legal entity. Contact: info@aren8.com

When you create an account, we use your name, email address, telephone number, password hash, confirmed country and time zone, and account verification data. Country is used only as a broad profile and analytics dimension; we do not collect precise location or GPS data or show it on public profiles. During play, we store sessions, replays, results, progress, virtual items and security and error diagnostics.
We use data to provide accounts and games, verify results on the server, maintain leaderboards and progress, detect fraud and technical errors, provide support and, when you choose it, measure site usage.
Leaderboards may display your public name, position and server-verified result. Your email address, telephone number, replay token and authentication data are never displayed publicly.
We retain account and progress data while your account is active. Security, transaction and verified game records may be kept longer for audits, disputes and fraud prevention. Individual analytics events are deleted after no more than 180 days.
Hosting, email, payment and advertising providers may process data where necessary. Where processing takes place outside the European Economic Area, we use applicable safeguards. AREN8 does not sell personal data.
You may request access, correction, erasure or restriction of your data and object to processing. You may withdraw analytics consent at any time in cookie settings. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
We use access controls, password hashing, CSRF protection, secure session cookies, request limiting and server-side result verification. Material changes are announced in the AREN8 interface. Last updated: 2 October 2026.
Processing necessary for your account, the game service you request and prize fulfilment is based on performance of the service contract. Security and fraud-prevention processing is based on the legitimate interest in protecting the platform and fair competition. Optional usage analytics and advertising features that require consent rely on your consent. Where applicable law requires prize records or reporting, the necessary processing is based on that legal obligation.
To document agreement to the Terms of Use, we record the account identifier, Terms version and language, time of acceptance and a copy of the accepted text. Earlier acceptances are retained for audit and potential disputes; this is not consent to optional analytics or advertising cookies.
For cash prize winners we process only the information necessary to confirm eligibility, contact the winner, fulfil the prize and comply with applicable legal obligations. AREN8 stores the prize, payout status and action history, not bank account details or identity document copies. Necessary payment information is arranged separately with the winner and must not be entered in platform notes. Data is retained only as long as necessary for these purposes and applicable retention duties.
From 10 September 2026, we count public HTML pages served by the server even when analytics cookies are declined or no choice has been made. We retain only the day, page category, approximate country and aggregate counts grouped by the consent choice in effect when the request arrives. This counter does not store IP addresses, raw browser data, URL parameters, or account, visitor or device identifiers. It sets no tracking cookies, creates no browsing history and does not link page views to a player. It is separate from consent-based usage analytics. To monitor service reliability, we also collect aggregate HTTP response statistics: day, request category, method, response status, a test-request flag, request count and aggregate duration measurements. These counters do not retain IP addresses, user or device identifiers, form data or URL parameters. Aggregate records are retained for up to 180 days.
From 10 September 2026, we estimate the connection country from its IP address using a country database stored on our server. We do not send the IP address to an external service for this lookup or store it in country statistics. For page responses without analytics consent, only country-level aggregate counts are retained; visits are not linked to each other or to a player. For a game session, we store the country code at the start to compare playing activity by country. In consent-based page analytics, the country is added only to views recorded with consent. The game-session country association is retained for up to 180 days; associations for deleted sessions are removed by daily maintenance. Your profile country is not changed. The country may be unknown or reflect a VPN, mobile network or privacy service. We do not determine a precise location.
