Effective 19 October 2026
Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Aussie Game Path handles personal information when you read aussiegamescope.com, use its browser preferences or contact the editors. It covers information you choose to share, the limited technical information involved in operating the website, and how to ask us about your privacy.
You can browse our editorial guides without creating an account. Please read this policy before sending a message, particularly if your enquiry concerns another person. The sections below explain the choices available to Australian readers and the practical steps we take when handling a privacy request.
1. Operator and privacy contact
Aussie Game Path operates aussiegamescope.com, an editorial website helping Australian readers explore digital games and compare gaming platforms. The editorial team is the first point of contact for questions about information handled through this website.
Email [email protected] with “Privacy enquiry” in the subject line, or telephone +61 2 8076 4285. You can also write to Aussie Game Path, Level 6, 60 Margaret Street, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia. Include a reply address and a short explanation of your concern. We aim to review enquiries within two business days; complex requests can take longer to resolve.
2. Information handled by the site
The contact form asks for your name, email address and message. Correspondence may also contain details you volunteer, such as a page address or the correction you want us to investigate. Please avoid sending sensitive health information, financial details or unnecessary information about other people.
Where collected by the hosting deployment, operational logs may record an IP address, request time, requested page, browser information and an error or response status. These records help investigate faults and suspicious activity. Site search matches your words against packaged site content in the browser; it does not require an account or a personal profile.
| Category | Examples | Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enquiries | Name, email and message | Aussie Game Path | Read and respond to correspondence |
| Technical | Request and error logs, where collected | Website hosting service | Diagnose faults and maintain reliability |
| Preferences | Local storage: aussiegamescope_ | aussiegamescope.com | Remember an accepted or rejected consent choice |
The preference cookie has a one-year expiry, expressed as 31,536,000 seconds. The local storage entry has no automatic expiry and remains until cleared by you or the site code. These entries record a browser choice, rather than the contents of a contact message. No optional analytics or advertising trackers are part of the described storage inventory.
3. Why information is used
We use correspondence to answer questions, investigate editorial corrections and follow up on information you ask us to review. A reply address lets us clarify a request and explain the outcome. Relevant technical records help identify broken pages, understand errors and protect website availability.
Consent preferences keep the browser controls consistent with your selection. We do not sell contact details, automatically subscribe people who send messages, or use an editorial enquiry as permission to send marketing. If an enquiry includes more information than needed, we aim to limit the working record to the parts relevant to resolving it.
4. Choice and consent
We seek information reasonably needed for the purpose explained when it is collected. Sending a message asks us to consider its contents and use your contact details to respond. You may withhold optional details, although an enquiry without a reply address may be difficult to answer.
The browser preference banner offers Accept and Reject optional. Both choices are remembered using first-party preference storage. There are currently no optional trackers to enable. You can reopen Cookie settings in the footer, change your selection or clear the site's data in your browser. Clearing data may make the banner appear again.
Our handling of personal information follows applicable Australian privacy obligations. Consent is used where required; processing may also be necessary to respond to your request, maintain security or meet a legal obligation. Nothing in this policy limits mandatory rights available under Australian law.
6. Retention and deletion
We retain resolved enquiry records for up to 12 months after resolution, allowing follow-up questions and a reasonable record of editorial decisions. Operational logs, where collected, are kept for up to 30 days. Information no longer needed is deleted or de-identified as part of routine review.
An active dispute, investigation or legal obligation can justify retaining relevant records longer. In that situation, we restrict use to the continuing purpose and review the need when the matter ends. Preference storage follows the browser periods described above. Clearing your browser removes its local preference, but does not itself delete correspondence already sent to the editors; request that separately by email.
7. Safeguarding information
We limit access to people who need information for their work, review permissions and maintain website software. When investigating an issue, staff should use only the relevant records and avoid circulating unnecessary personal details. These precautions support proportionate protection of correspondence and operational information.
No internet transmission or storage method is risk free. Never send passwords, payment card details or identity documents through the editorial form. If you believe you have accidentally disclosed sensitive information, contact us promptly with the message date and a brief description, without repeating the sensitive material. We will assess the concern and any notification obligations that apply.
8. Access, correction and complaints
Email [email protected] to ask for access to personal information, correct an inaccurate detail or request deletion. Explain the information concerned and the outcome you want. We may ask proportionate questions to verify that the request relates to you; please do not send identity documents unless we have discussed a suitable process.
We aim to acknowledge requests within two business days and address privacy complaints within 30 days. If more time is needed, we aim to explain why and provide an expected next step. Access or deletion may be limited by legal requirements or another person's privacy. Where a limitation applies, we will explain the reason where permitted. Unresolved Australian privacy concerns may be raised with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, where applicable.
9. Younger readers
Our editorial material covers ordinary digital games. Individual platforms set their own age restrictions and parental permission requirements, which readers should check before using them. Children should ask a parent or guardian before contacting us and should avoid sharing school details, home addresses or other private information in messages.
A parent or guardian concerned about information a child has submitted can contact the editor at the privacy email address above. Identify the relevant message as narrowly as possible. We will review the circumstances and remove information submitted inappropriately, subject to any legal requirement to retain it.
10. Updates to this policy
This policy takes effect on 19 October 2026. We review it when information practices change, including changes to contact handling or browser storage. Material updates will be published here with a revised effective date and an explanation of significant changes where appropriate.
Please revisit this page if you want to understand current practices before contacting us. You can ask the editorial team to explain a provision or how a change affects an earlier enquiry using the contact channels in section 1.
