Privacy Policy

Effective Date & Last Updated: October 31, 2026 • Canadian PIPEDA & Alberta PIPA Compliance

1. Commitment to Data Privacy

Laurentia Bloomery ("we", "our", or "us"), operating at laurentia-bloomery.com from 855 2nd Street SW, Calgary, AB T2P 4J8, Canada, is committed to safeguarding the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, handle, store, and protect information in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

2. Zero-Registration Architecture & Information We Collect

Laurentia Bloomery is designed as an open-access editorial catalog that does not require user account creation, financial details, or personal profile passwords. We only process limited categories of data:

• Voluntary Correspondence Data: When you submit an inquiry via our contact form or email contact@laurentia-bloomery.com, we receive your name, email address, subject line, and message content solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Automated Technical Telemetry: When your browser requests pages from our server, standard HTTP headers—such as anonymized IP address segments, browser engine version, operating system type, and timestamp—are logged temporarily for network security and WebGL compatibility diagnostics.
• Consent State Storage: We record your Cookie Consent preferences in your browser's local storage (under key leb_consent_state_2026) so you are not repeatedly prompted on every page load.

3. Purpose of Processing

We process technical and correspondence data strictly for the following legitimate purposes:

• Delivering fast, responsive HTML5 and CSS layouts across desktop and mobile displays;
• Responding to game developer benchmark submissions and reader support messages;
• Monitoring server stability and defending against automated traffic abuse;
• Respecting and enforcing our 19+ mature audience portal governance.

4. Protection of Minors (19+ Policy)

Laurentia Bloomery is restricted exclusively to adults aged 19 and older. We do not knowingly solicit, collect, or retain personal information from anyone under the age of 19. If we learn that an individual under 19 has submitted correspondence through our contact channels, we will immediately purge that record from our systems.

5. Third-Party Game Publishers & Outbound Links

Our comparator contains outbound links to nine independent browser and MMO games (such as Fallen London, Jackhammr, Parkour Race, Rail Nation, and others). Once you click "Play Now" and leave laurentia-bloomery.com, our Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to inspect the privacy notice of each external game publisher before creating an account on their platform.

6. Data Retention & Security Safeguards

Server security logs are automatically rotated and deleted within thirty (30) days. Editorial email correspondence is retained only as long as necessary to resolve your inquiry. We utilize TLS/HTTPS encryption, strict cross-origin resource policies, and access-controlled servers to prevent unauthorized disclosure or alteration of data.

7. Your Privacy Rights under Canadian Law

Under PIPEDA and Alberta PIPA, you have the right to:

• Request confirmation of whether we hold any personal correspondence data relating to you;
• Request correction or immediate deletion of any correspondence you have sent to our desk;
• Withdraw or modify your browser consent preferences at any time via the "Cookie Preferences" control in our footer.
