PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy explains how thecompanioncube ("we", "us", or "our"), creator of community analytics tools and companion platforms such as gtalytics.gg, handles user information, site preferences, and privacy protection.
thecompanioncube and gtalytics.gg are independent, fan-created community resources. They are NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected with Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., Rockstar Games, Inc., or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates. All trademarks, game titles, logos, and brand assets (including Grand Theft Auto, GTA, and Rockstar Games) belong exclusively to Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.
We prioritize user privacy. We do not sell personal user data. We collect only standard web service account data, community-submitted preferences, and voluntary platform integrations. We do not intercept private game telemetry or harvest unauthorized publisher data.
1. Information We Collect
Voluntary Account & Profile Information: When you register on our site or voluntarily authenticate via third-party OAuth providers (e.g., Discord, PlayStation Network, or Xbox Network), we store basic profile metadata such as your username, chosen display name, avatar, and contact email.
Community & Public Meta Data: Information voluntarily provided by users, such as community build guides, public strategy tips, weapon preferences, and heist setup notes shared within our community platform.
Standard Web Technical Logs: Standard web server connection data including IP address, browser type, operating system, session duration, and page diagnostics used solely for security and operational functionality.
Note: We do NOT intercept, store, or access private in-game chat, financial transactions, or unauthorized game server data from game publishers.
