1. Scope and who we are
Solvarielle is an independent editorial website about free online video games available in Canada. We do not operate games, process stakes, sell virtual currency, or require reader accounts. This policy applies to the public website at solvarielle.com. A third-party game or store you visit from our links applies its own privacy policy.
2. Information we handle
Information you choose to provide
If you email us, we receive your email address, message and any information you include. Please do not send passwords, payment details or sensitive personal information.
Technical information
Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically process IP address, browser type, device type, requested page, referring page, date/time and security logs to deliver the site, prevent abuse and diagnose outages. Solvarielle does not use this information to build advertising profiles.
Browser storage
The site stores one essential preference in your browser named solvarielle-cookie-choice. It records whether you dismissed the notice. It does not identify you across websites.
3. Why information is used
- To deliver pages and remember your privacy choice.
- To keep the service secure, available and technically reliable.
- To answer messages you send and maintain a record of the conversation.
- To meet legal obligations and enforce our Terms when necessary.
We do not sell personal information or use it for behavioural advertising.
5. Retention and location
Email correspondence is retained only as long as needed to answer the request, maintain necessary business records or resolve disputes. Server and security logs are kept according to the hosting provider's operational schedule. The cookie-choice value remains in your browser until you clear site data. Providers may process information outside your province or outside Canada, where local authorities may lawfully access it.
6. Your privacy choices
You may clear local storage in your browser at any time. You may also ask to access or correct personal information we hold about you, withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, or ask a question about our practices. We may need to verify your identity before responding and may retain information where law requires it.
Canadian privacy guidance is available from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards proportionate to the limited information handled. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be promised.
8. Children and teens
The site provides editorial information and is not designed to collect information from children. We do not knowingly request a child's personal information. Guardians should review a game's ESRB rating, chat functions, parental controls and purchase settings before play. Contact us if you believe a child provided personal information.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when site practices or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top will be revised for material updates.
