1. Overview and Commitment to Privacy
Castfirth Canada ("we", "us", or "our"), headquartered at Suncor Energy Centre, 150 6th Avenue SW, Calgary, AB T2P 3E2, Canada, is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of digital privacy and data protection. This Privacy Policy outlines our procedures concerning the collection, storage, processing, and protection of information gathered through canadiancastmortar.com (the "Portal").
Our data practices strictly adhere to the Canadian federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the provincial Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) of Alberta.
2. Principle of Data Minimization
Castfirth Canada is fundamentally engineered as an open-access evaluation and indexing portal. We do not require visitors to enroll mandatory personal player records, provide government identity documentation, or link financial forms. We believe that digital entertainment and web technology benchmarking should remain accessible with zero personal exposure.
3. Categories of Information Handled
We process limited technical and voluntary data strictly necessary for portal functionality:
A. Technical Session and Telemetry Data
When you interact with the Portal, our web servers and performance monitoring scripts receive standard protocol information, including your IP address (anonymized at ingestion), browser type and version, operating system, Canvas/WebGL capability indicators, and timestamp of page requests. This information is utilized solely to analyze aggregate hardware performance benchmarks and ensure routing integrity.
B. Voluntary Contact Communications
When you elect to submit inquiries through our contact forms or enroll for curated email dispatches, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is processed exclusively to address your inquiry or deliver requested technical dispatch updates. We never sell, lease, or monetize your contact details with external advertising networks.
4. Google Consent Mode v2 Implementation
Our website integrates advanced Google Consent Mode v2 architecture. By default, all non-essential storage and advertising identifiers (including ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization) are configured in a denied state upon your initial visit.
Only if you explicitly click "Accept All" or configure affirmative preferences via our Cookie Dock or Preferences Panel are these storage signals updated to granted. You retain the right to modify or revoke this consent at any moment via the Cookie Preferences link in our footer.
5. Storage Technologies: Cookies and LocalStorage
The Portal employs limited, privacy-focused storage mechanisms:
- Essential Session Continuity: Cryptographically random first-party session tokens (e.g.,
gsid_1mh) to maintain request routing and load balancing across server nodes.
- Interface Rendering Configurations: Functional flags (e.g.,
grid_scale_u5i) to preserve responsive grid sizing and typography settings.
- Consent Preference Storage: A localized client token stored in browser LocalStorage (
consent_state_j6uo6e) recording your choice regarding non-essential diagnostics.
6. Third-Party Game Embeds and External Platforms
Our catalog features outbound links and launches for external Free-to-Play web games. Once you navigate away from canadiancastmortar.com or interact with an external host, the privacy practices of that independent third-party domain govern your interaction. We recommend examining the respective privacy notices of external gaming studios.
7. Data Retention and Safeguards
All server logs and contact inquiries are maintained within secure Canadian and North American cloud infrastructure protected by industry-standard TLS encryption, strict role-based access controls, and periodic security audits. Contact correspondence is retained only as long as necessary to resolve user inquiries or comply with statutory requirements under Alberta law.
8. Your Rights Under PIPEDA and Alberta PIPA
As an individual accessing our services, you possess statutory rights regarding your personal information:
- Right of Access: You may request confirmation of whether we hold any personal information concerning you and receive a copy thereof;
- Right to Rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete contact data;
- Right to Deletion: You may request that we erase your email address from our dispatch distribution lists at any time;
- Right to Revoke Consent: You may revoke consent for voluntary communications or analytics tracking at your discretion.
If you believe your privacy rights have been infringed under Canadian law, you have the right to lodge an inquiry with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) or the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta (OIPC).
