1. Commitment to Low-Data Browsing & Australian Privacy Principles
AuStrataChasm Digital Lab Pty Ltd (ABN 84 619 302 478), operator of austratachasmhub.com ("AuStrataChasmHub", "we", "us", or "our"), respects your digital autonomy and is committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and applicable international data protection frameworks.
Because our directory is engineered as an open, zero-registration software comparator, you can browse our entire 9-title WebGL catalog, filter genres, and read our technical essays without creating an account or disclosing your identity.
2. Categories of Information We Collect
We adhere strictly to data minimization principles and collect only the limited information outlined below:
- Voluntary Editorial Correspondence: When you submit a message via our Melbourne Contact Form or email
contact@austratachasmhub.com, we collect your name, email address, inquiry subject, and message text solely to respond to your query. - Technical Server Logs: Like all standard HTTPS web servers, our infrastructure temporarily records anonymized connection telemetry—including truncated IP address, browser User-Agent string, HTTP status code, and timestamp—for cyber-security defense and error diagnostics.
- Consent Mode Preferences: Your choice regarding essential or analytical cookies is stored locally inside your browser's
localStoragecontainer under the keyaaa_cookie_consent_v1.
3. How We Use & Process Information
Under APP 6 (Use or disclosure of personal information), we process collected information exclusively for the primary purpose for which it was gathered:
- Replying to developer game submissions, broken link reports, and reader questions sent to our Melbourne editorial desk;
- Maintaining high-availability server performance and preventing automated bot abuse;
- Evaluating aggregated, non-identifying visitor interactions (such as which genre filter buttons are most frequently selected) when you have explicitly opted into analytical telemetry.
We never sell, rent, trade, or license personal email addresses or visitor records to data brokers or third-party advertising networks.
4. Outbound Links to Third-Party Game Publishers
Our directory contains direct external hyperlinks to third-party browser game publishers. Once you click "Play Now" and leave austratachasmhub.com, our Privacy Policy no longer applies. Any account credentials, guest session tokens, or gameplay telemetry generated on external game domains are managed by the respective studio under their own privacy disclosures.
5. Cross-Border Data Flows (APP 8)
Our primary editorial governance is based in Melbourne, Victoria, while our technical content delivery network (CDN) utilizes secure edge nodes across Australia, the United Kingdom, and the European Economic Area. Whenever technical logs or support emails traverse international infrastructure, we enforce TLS 1.3 encryption in transit and strict access controls at rest.
6. Data Retention & Security Safeguards (APP 11)
Correspondence sent to our support desk is retained for a maximum of twelve (12) months after resolution of the inquiry, after which it is permanently purged. Server security logs are automatically rotated and deleted every thirty (30) days.
7. Your Rights Under Australian & International Law (APPs 12 & 13)
You have the right to request access to any personal information we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate details, withdraw cookie consent at any time via the "Cookie Consent Settings" button in our footer, or request immediate erasure of your support correspondence.
If you believe we have breached the Australian Privacy Principles, you may lodge a formal complaint with our Privacy Officer using the contact details below. We respond to all privacy inquiries within 14 business days. If you remain unsatisfied with our response, you may refer the matter to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
