Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller Identity

British Cocksear ("we", "our", or "us"), operating the website britishcocksear.com from 55 Temple Row, Birmingham, B2 5LS, United Kingdom, acts as the Data Controller for any personal information voluntarily submitted through our editorial portal. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy in strict compliance with the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

2. Zero Mandatory Registration Architecture

You can browse our entire 9-game comparator, filter categories, read our WebGL architecture analyses, and follow outbound links to browser titles without creating an account or submitting personal identification data.

3. Information We Collect & Lawful Basis

We process limited categories of data under clearly defined lawful bases:

• Voluntary Contact Correspondence (Legitimate Interests / Consent): When you submit a message through our Contact form or email contact@britishcocksear.com, we collect your name, email address, inquiry topic, and message content solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Technical Server Logs (Legitimate Interests): Our web servers automatically record standard HTTP header metadata—such as anonymized IP addresses, browser user-agent strings, and timestamped page requests—to defend against automated abuse and maintain 99.9% platform uptime.
• Consent Preferences (Legal Obligation): We store a non-identifying token in your browser's localStorage to remember your Cookie Consent selections.

4. Data Sharing & International Transfers

British Cocksear never sells, rents, or trades personal information to marketing brokers. We do not transfer personal correspondence outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area without statutory adequacy safeguards. Please note that when you click an external link to launch a game hosted by a third-party publisher, your interaction on that destination domain is governed by the publisher's own privacy notice.

5. Data Retention Periods

Editorial inquiries received via email or our contact form are retained for no longer than 12 months following resolution, after which they are permanently purged. Anonymized server security logs are rotated and deleted every 30 days.

6. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

As a data subject in the United Kingdom, you possess the statutory right to:

• Request access to a copy of any personal data we hold about you (Subject Access Request);
• Request rectification of inaccurate or incomplete personal records;
• Request erasure of your personal correspondence ("Right to be Forgotten");
• Object to or restrict specific processing activities;
• Lodge a formal complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your rights have been infringed.
