Privacy Policy & Data Protection Charter

1. Identity of the Data Controller

This Privacy Policy describes how Laurentia Headframe Editorial Lab ("we", "us", or "our") collects, processes, and safeguards information when you visit laurentiaheadframe.com. Our privacy practices comply with Canada's federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

Our Privacy Officer can be reached directly at our Vancouver office: Park Place, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2X8, Canada, via telephone at +1 778 319 6284, or via email at contact@laurentiaheadframe.com.

2. Categories of Information We Process

Because our portal is an informational benchmark catalog rather than a commercial store, we limit data processing to three strictly defined categories:

• Voluntary Editorial Inquiries: When you submit a message via our Contact Desk form, we process the name or studio alias, return email address, inquiry category, and technical message you voluntarily provide so our editors can respond to your question.
• Local Consent & UI Preferences: Your browser stores a lightweight preference object in `localStorage` (`ltd_cookie_consent_v1`) to remember whether you accepted or declined optional telemetry categories via our Consent Mode v2 banner.
• Standard Server Diagnostic Logs: Like all standard web servers, our hosting infrastructure temporarily records anonymized HTTP request metadata (browser user-agent string, requested page path, timestamp, and truncated IP address) solely to defend against automated network abuse and diagnose broken links.

3. Purpose & Legal Basis of Processing

Under Canadian PIPEDA and BC PIPA principles of knowledge and consent, we process information solely for the following explicit purposes:

• Responding to technical questions, game review submissions, and link reports submitted by visitors;
• Maintaining the stability, security, and fast load times of our WebGL benchmark pages;
• Honoring your granular Google Consent Mode v2 storage settings (`analytics_storage`, `ad_storage`, `ad_user_data`, `ad_personalization`);
• Complying with applicable Canadian federal and British Columbia provincial legal obligations.

4. Zero Sale of Personal Data & Third-Party Disclosures

Laurentia Headframe Editorial Lab never sells, rents, or trades visitor email addresses or inquiry contents to data brokers or third-party marketers. When you click an outbound "Play Now" button to launch one of the 9 browser games in our catalog, your browser navigates to an independent third-party domain (`strongholdkingdoms.com`, `crazygames.com`, `poki.com`, `kingdoms.com`, `aq.com`, `gtarcade.com`, or `tankionline.com`). We encourage you to review the privacy notices of those external publishers when visiting their platforms.

5. Data Retention & Security Safeguards

Correspondence submitted through our editorial contact form is retained for a maximum of twelve (12) months to allow follow-up on technical benchmark inquiries, after which it is permanently purged. Server diagnostic logs are automatically rotated and deleted within thirty (30) days. We protect all communications using TLS 1.3 transport encryption and strict access controls.

6. Your Rights Under Canadian Privacy Law (PIPEDA & BC PIPA)

Residents of British Columbia, Canada, and international visitors have the right to:

• Request confirmation of whether we hold any personal correspondence associated with your email address;
• Request correction or immediate erasure of any inquiry you previously transmitted to our editorial desk;
• Withdraw or modify your browser cookie and telemetry consent at any time using the "Cookie Consent Settings" button in our footer.
