Privacy policy
Effective date: 14 May 2026 · Site: playvoraau.info
This policy explains how Playvora (“we”, “us”) handles personal information when you use our website and subscribe to updates. We aim to align with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and to communicate in plain language.
1. Who we are
Playvora publishes editorial content about mobile games and esports with an Australian audience in mind. For privacy requests, contact [email protected].
2. What we collect
- Newsletter or enquiry forms: the email address you submit. On this static site, submitting the form may open your email application with a pre-filled message to us rather than transmitting data directly to our servers.
- Cookies and similar storage: we store your cookie choices in a first-party cookie and in
localStorageso the consent banner does not reappear on every visit. - Server logs (if enabled by your host): standard web logs may include IP address, requested URL, and time. We do not use those logs to profile individuals unless required for security or legal compliance.
3. Why we use information
- To respond to messages and operate mailing lists you explicitly join.
- To remember privacy preferences and secure the site.
- To measure aggregate readership only if you enable optional analytics cookies in the banner.
4. Legal bases (Australian practice)
We collect personal information only where it is reasonably necessary for our functions. Newsletter data is collected with your consent. Cookie preferences are managed through the on-site controls described in our cookie notice.
5. Disclosure
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with infrastructure providers (for example email delivery or hosting) strictly to operate the service, under contractual confidentiality obligations.
6. Overseas transfers
If any supplier processes data outside Australia, we take steps that are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure APP 8 requirements are met, including reviewing provider terms and security practices.
7. Retention
We keep newsletter contacts until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your details. Cookie preference records expire after approximately 180 days unless renewed by a new choice.
8. Your rights
You may request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about you. You may also complain to us about handling of your information. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
9. Children
Our content may discuss games rated for older players. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 15 without parental consent. If you believe we have done so, please contact us so we can delete it.
10. Updates
We may update this policy to reflect legal or operational changes. Material changes will be noted by updating the effective date above.
