Information we collect

Contact form: when you use the contact form on our Contact page, we collect your name, your email address, an optional phone number if you choose to provide it, and the content of your message.

Technical data: when you visit the website, our hosting infrastructure automatically records technical information such as your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system details, the pages requested, and the date and time of access. This information is stored in server logs.

Cookies: the website uses one strictly necessary cookie that stores your choice regarding the cookie notice. We do not use analytics or advertising cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details.

How we use information and legal bases

We use contact form data to read and respond to your message and to handle any follow-up correspondence. We process this data because you asked us to contact you and, where applicable, on the basis of our legitimate interest in answering inquiries.

We use technical data to deliver the website, keep it secure, prevent abuse and diagnose technical problems. This is based on our legitimate interest in operating a functional and secure website.

The cookie notice cookie is used solely to remember your choice so that the notice is not shown repeatedly. It is strictly necessary for this purpose.

We do not sell your personal information and we do not use it for profiling or targeted advertising.

Data retention

We keep contact form messages only as long as needed to respond to you and handle related correspondence, after which they are deleted unless we need to keep them to comply with legal obligations or resolve disputes.

Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting and are then deleted or anonymized. The cookie notice cookie remains on your device until it expires or you delete it.

Sharing with service providers

We share personal information only with service providers that help us run the website, such as our hosting provider and a content delivery network or security provider that protects the site against attacks and abuse. These providers process data on our behalf and only as needed to provide their services.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to respond to valid legal requests, or to protect our rights, users or the public.

International transfers

The website is operated from Canada and our service providers may process data in Canada, the United States or other countries. Where information is transferred across borders, we take reasonable steps to ensure it remains protected in line with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Advertising

This website may be promoted through online advertising services, for example Google Ads. The website itself does not place advertising cookies or similar tracking technologies on your device.

If you interact with our ads on other websites or platforms, those advertising platforms may collect and process data under their own privacy policies, which we do not control.

You can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com or learn about opting out of interest-based advertising from participating companies at www.aboutads.info.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, including under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA) and other US state privacy laws, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to access it, to correct it, to request its deletion, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Children's privacy

PiTechLap Gaming is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including encrypted connections and protection provided by our hosting and security providers, to safeguard personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot ensure absolute security.
