Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026

GamerReach ("GamerReach", "we", "us") is a nonprofit that connects adult gamers with trained volunteer gamers for peer support. This policy explains what information we collect through gamerreach.org, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. GamerReach is Gamer Reach Inc, a New Jersey nonprofit corporation (EIN 87-2832543), 377 Valley Rd, Unit #3113, Clifton, NJ 07013, phone (201) 862-8009. Questions: hello@gamerreach.org.

Important: what GamerReach is and isn't

GamerReach offers peer support, not therapy, medical care or crisis services. Please don't use our forms to report an emergency. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911. In the US you can call or text 988 at any time.

Adults only (18+)

GamerReach is for people who are 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and our forms ask you to confirm that you are 18 or older. If we learn that we have collected information from someone under 18, we will delete it. If you believe someone under 18 has given us information, please email hello@gamerreach.org.

Information we collect

If you ask for a gaming buddy

Your first name, email address and, if you choose to provide them: Discord username, platform, games you play, play style, how you are feeling (a 1–5 mood level), when you're free, anything you write in the message box, and, depending on the form, your last name and phone number. Some of this can relate to your mental or emotional wellbeing. We treat it as sensitive.

If you apply to volunteer

Your name, email, Discord username, platforms, games, availability, why you want to volunteer, and any notes we record during screening and training (for example screening outcome and training completion). If you become a volunteer we also keep your session notes, check-in ratings and your portal login.

Check-ins

After a session we ask both people for a rating, whether they'd like another session, whether they'd like help finding a professional, and any comments.

If you donate

Donations are processed by Stripe. We receive your name, email, donation amount and frequency, and a Stripe customer ID. We never see or store your full card number.

If you are a company asking about partnership

Company name, contact name, email, phone, website, company type, intended amount and your message.

Newsletter and contact form

Your email address (and your name, topic and message if you use the contact form).

Automatically collected

When you submit a form we record your IP address for spam and abuse prevention. Our website host and WordPress may set cookies needed for the site to work, such as keeping volunteers logged in. Stripe may set its own cookies on its payment pages.

How we use your information

  • To review requests, match people with volunteers and coordinate sessions.
  • To screen, train and support volunteers.
  • To send emails you'd expect: confirmations, introductions, check-ins and service messages.
  • To follow up on safety concerns and referral requests.
  • To process donations and partnerships, and send thank-you messages and tax receipts.
  • To send our newsletter, only if you subscribed or opted in (you can unsubscribe at any time).
  • To understand how GamerReach is working and improve it, using aggregate numbers wherever possible.
  • To protect GamerReach and meet legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information and we do not use it for advertising.

Who we share it with

  • Your matched volunteer or player: only what is needed to connect and play together, such as first name, platform, games and Discord username.
  • Our coordinators and authorized team members, who oversee matches and safety.
  • Service providers who help us run GamerReach: web hosting (Flywheel), email delivery and contact lists (Resend), staff email (Microsoft 365), payments (Stripe), and Discord for conversations you choose to have there. They may only use your information to provide services to us.
  • When required or to keep someone safe: if the law requires it, or if we believe someone is at serious risk of harm, we may share information with the appropriate authorities or emergency services.

How long we keep it

We keep information as long as needed for the purposes above or as the law requires (for example, donation records for tax purposes). You can ask us to delete your information at any time (see below).

Your choices and rights

  • Ask what information we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing hello@gamerreach.org.
  • Unsubscribe from newsletters with the link in any newsletter email.
  • Depending on where you live (for example California), you may have additional rights. We will honor valid requests.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including limiting who can see sensitive requests. No system is perfectly secure, so please don't share more than you're comfortable with. Please don't send us financial account numbers, government ID numbers or detailed medical records.

Changes to this policy

We'll post updates here and change the date above. If changes are significant we'll tell you by email or on the site.
