1. Who we are
Reefvoria operates reefvoria.com, an independent editorial website that helps Australian readers discover free-to-start online video games. References to “Reefvoria”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this policy mean the operator of this website.
2. Scope of this policy
This policy applies to information handled through reefvoria.com and direct messages you send to an @reefvoria.com email address. It does not govern third-party game publishers, platforms, app stores or websites we link to. Those services have their own privacy practices.
3. Information we collect
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting or content-delivery providers may receive limited technical information when your browser requests a page. This may include your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, requested URL, approximate region, and the date and time of the request. This information is generally recorded in security and server logs.
Browser storage
Our current website stores one essential acknowledgement in your browser's local storage so that the privacy notice does not reappear on every page. Local storage remains on your device until you clear it. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Information you choose to provide
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever information you include in your message. Please do not send sensitive personal information, passwords, payment information or game-account credentials.
Information we do not request
Reefvoria currently has no registration, login, payment, deposit, prize or withdrawal facility. We do not intentionally collect identity documents, card details, financial account data, precise location, health information or biometric information.
4. How we use information
We may use the limited information described above to:
- deliver pages and remember essential interface choices;
- keep the website secure, prevent abuse and diagnose technical faults;
- understand broad website reliability and performance;
- respond to questions, rights requests or editorial corrections you send us;
- comply with applicable law and enforce our Terms & Conditions.
Where a legal basis is required, we rely on our legitimate interests in operating and securing an editorial website, compliance with legal obligations, performance of a requested service, or your consent. We do not use personal information for automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects.
5. When information may be shared
We do not sell or rent personal information. Limited information may be disclosed to:
- Infrastructure providers that host, deliver, secure or maintain the site, acting under appropriate contractual or confidentiality duties;
- Professional advisers where reasonably necessary for legal, accounting, security or insurance matters;
- Authorities or other parties where disclosure is required by law, court order, or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety or the integrity of the website;
- A successor operator if the website or its business is reorganised or transferred, subject to applicable privacy requirements.
When you follow an external “Official site” link, the destination site receives the normal information your browser sends when visiting it. Reefvoria does not control the destination's collection or cookies.
6. Overseas processing
Internet infrastructure can process or store technical information in countries outside Australia. The location depends on the hosting, security and email providers in use. Where required, we take reasonable steps to use providers and safeguards that protect information consistently with applicable privacy law. Laws in another country may differ from Australian law.
7. Data retention and security
We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, including security, fault investigation, correspondence and legal requirements. Retention periods can vary: routine server logs are generally short-lived, while a support or legal correspondence record may be retained longer where needed to resolve the matter.
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to a small editorial website. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your own devices and email account secure.
8. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live and which law applies, you may ask us to access, correct or delete personal information about you; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent; or receive a portable copy of information you provided. Some rights have exceptions, including where information must be retained by law or for legal claims.
To make a request, email [email protected]. We may need to confirm enough information to identify the relevant correspondence or record. We will not ask for more identity information than reasonably needed.
If you are in Australia and believe your concern has not been resolved, you may be entitled to contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
9. Children's privacy
Reefvoria is a general-audience editorial guide, not a service designed to collect information from children. We do not knowingly request personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it. Parents and guardians should also review game age classifications, chat features and publisher privacy settings.
10. Do Not Track and analytics
The current Reefvoria front end does not use third-party advertising trackers or analytics cookies. Because there is no universal standard for “Do Not Track” signals, the website does not respond differently to them. If analytics or advertising technology is introduced later, this policy and our Cookie Policy will be updated and any consent required by law will be requested.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect website, provider or legal changes. The “Last updated” date will change when we publish a revision. Material changes may also be highlighted on the website. Your continued use after an update means the new version applies from its effective date.
