Back to TGAPRIVACY POLICY / UPDATED 30 SEPTEMBER 2026

Your data. Your call.

This policy explains the data used by TheGamerAadi’s independent gaming hub and the choices available to you.

What this site stores

The owner’s saved profile contains a site-specific account identifier, clip details, social links, and Xbox statistics chosen for this public showcase. Visitors do not need to sign in to browse. Only the owner can edit content or run a sync. Records include the time they were updated. The hosting platform forwards account identity information for authentication; the hub does not save your email address in its own database.

The original Xbox screenshot statistics and selected public YouTube clips are part of the starting site content. Xbox values show the latest available snapshot or sync.

Why this information is used

Saved data makes your hub available across sessions and devices, associates changes with your signed-in account, and displays the creator’s games, clips, and socials. The hub has no advertising. Its first-party analytics records aggregate daily page views, clip player opens, social-link clicks, referring website names, and broad device and browser categories. Full user-agent strings are not saved. It does not save analytics cookies, visitor identifiers, IP addresses, names, or browsing profiles. Query strings and full referrer URLs are not saved. Only the owner can view the totals. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals are respected; owner visits and private management pages are excluded. Aggregate records are retained for up to 90 days and removed during background maintenance.

Your Xbox connection

When you sync Xbox, your OpenXBL API key is sent from your browser to the site’s server, which sends authorized requests to OpenXBL. A key entered in the legacy one-time sync form is used for that sync only. In the private owner dashboard, choosing “Save & refresh” verifies the connected Xbox account, then saves the key encrypted on the server for future refreshes. The encryption secret is stored separately in the hosting platform. The saved key is never returned to the browser or public website and is not saved in browser storage. The owner can replace or remove it and pause automatic refreshes. A server-configured key, if added by the owner, is a separate hosting secret.

The hub saves only the returned game titles, reported playtime, achievement totals, Gamerscore, last-played dates, available game-specific statistics, and sync status. It does not request your Xbox messages, friend lists, or private conversations. OpenXBL and Microsoft handle data under their own policies. Never paste your Microsoft password into this site.

Instagram and Moments

The Moments carousel displays selected public social posts and YouTube Shorts separately from uploaded Videos in Replay. If the owner connects Instagram, its API access token is verified for @thegamer_aadi, encrypted on the server, and never returned to visitors. Imported captions, public post links, media images or video URLs, and import timestamps are saved for the public carousel. The site checks for updates on visits and keeps the last saved posts if Instagram cannot be reached. Instagram tokens may expire and require renewal.

Instagram thumbnails and videos connect to Meta’s media services. Opening an Instagram carousel embed connects to Instagram, which may process connection and usage information and use cookies under its own policy. YouTube Shorts use the same privacy-enhanced player as other YouTube videos.

Clips and third-party links

The featured clip covers are served by this site. Other clips may use thumbnails from YouTube’s image service, which receives connection information such as your IP address. Selecting a clip opens its player immediately. YouTube clips use its privacy-enhanced embed domain; loading and playing a clip shares connection and usage information with YouTube.

Playable captures open in a player on this site. Opening a clip with a OneDrive player connects to Microsoft; locally hosted videos use the site’s own player. Captures without a playable source stay unpublished. Following links to Discord, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, PlayStation, Steam, Xbox, or OneDrive opens that service. Those services may use cookies, collect information, and apply their own policies. The hub does not control their practices.

Storage and access

The hub is hosted through Sites and uses its database infrastructure for saved records. Hosting and authentication providers process requests and may retain technical logs and cookies under their own policies. This is a public site. Published games, clips, public platform handles, social links, and statistics can be viewed by anyone. The private owner dashboard, editing, analytics totals, source-folder settings, saved keys, and sync diagnostics require the owner’s signed-in ChatGPT account and are checked by the server. Background refresh tools use the owner’s authenticated TGA plugin connection and the saved Xbox key; the public site cannot invoke these tools to change data. The creator’s chosen Instagram contact link is available through Contact Me. The hub does not expose sign-in email addresses, private account identifiers, or API keys.

Delete your saved data

The owner can open Manage TGA, choose Social links, then “Delete saved hub data”. After confirmation, the site removes the owner’s added clips, social links, and synced Xbox records from its active database. The original site content remains. Platform backups and technical records may be retained separately under provider policies.
