A clear route through privacy

This page explains how Pixel Play Journal approaches GDPR obligations when they apply to a reader, contributor or enquiry. It sits alongside our privacy policy and cookie policy.

Pixel Play Journal is an editorial publication based at 2 Tony Wilson Place, Manchester, England M15 4FN. We write about new releases, play culture, communities and the details that make games memorable.

The information we use

A reader-question form may collect your name, email address, gaming interests, message, selected enquiry type and consent confirmation. The hidden website field is used for form protection. We do not ask for passwords, payment information or precise location.

If you email us directly, we receive the information you decide to include in that message.

Purpose and lawful basis

We use enquiry details to understand the subject, respond to the reader and manage the related conversation. Where GDPR applies, this is generally necessary to take steps at your request or to provide a response. Consent may apply to the form confirmation or optional browser storage, while legitimate interests support basic security and site operation.

Reader information is not used to build advertising audiences, sell profiles or send unrelated marketing.

Storage, retention and providers

The configured static site does not identify a third-party analytics or advertising provider. Browser storage is limited to the cookie-consent experience described in the cookie policy. Enquiries are retained only while they are reasonably needed to respond, keep a useful correspondence record or deal with a rights request.

When information is no longer needed, it should be securely deleted or anonymised where appropriate.

International handling

Pixel Play Journal operates from the United Kingdom. If a communication route involves a provider or recipient in another country, any transfer will be handled using safeguards required by applicable law. Ask us about a particular enquiry if you need route-specific information.

Your rights

When GDPR applies, you may ask for access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability or objection, and you may withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis. These rights are not absolute and may be subject to identity checks, exemptions or other legal limits.

Describe the information or enquiry concerned so that we can locate it without asking you to send unnecessary personal information.

Raising a concern

Please contact Pixel Play Journal first so we can review the issue. You can also contact the data-protection authority relevant to your location. This page is an information notice, not legal advice.
