Last Updated: October 21, 2026 • UK GDPR & Data Protection Act 2018 Compliant

1. Data Controller Identity

For the purposes of the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, the data controller responsible for cruciblewarpcore.com is CrucibleWarpCore, located at 74 Mosley Street, Manchester, M2 3FX, United Kingdom. Inquiries regarding data protection may be directed to contact@cruciblewarpcore.com or by telephone at +44 161 791 4820.

2. Categories of Information We Collect

We limit data collection to the minimum necessary to operate a fast, secure informational website:

• Voluntary Correspondence Data: When you submit an inquiry via our contact form or email us directly, we collect the name, email address, subject line, and message content you choose to provide.
• Technical & Server Log Telemetry: Like all standard web servers, our hosting infrastructure automatically records transient request metadata, including anonymized IP addresses, browser user-agent strings, HTTP referrer headers, and timestamps to defend against malicious traffic and diagnose server errors.
• Cookie Consent Preferences: We store a local preference token in your browser's storage to remember whether you accepted or declined optional analytical cookies.

3. Lawful Basis for Processing

Under Article 6 of the UK GDPR, we process limited data strictly under the following lawful bases:

• Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f)): Maintaining network security, preventing automated abuse, and responding to user-initiated editorial inquiries.
• Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): Deploying optional analytical telemetry cookies only when you explicitly grant permission through our Cookie Consent banner or Preferences modal.
• Legal Obligation (Article 6(1)(c)): Complying with statutory requirements enforced by United Kingdom regulatory authorities.

4. Data Retention and Security Safeguards

Correspondence submitted through our contact channels is retained only for the duration required to resolve your inquiry and for a maximum archival period of 12 months thereafter, after which it is permanently purged. Server security logs are rotated and deleted automatically within 30 days.

We implement TLS/HTTPS transport encryption, strict content-security policies, and access-controlled server environments to prevent unauthorized disclosure, alteration, or destruction of information.

5. Third-Party Websites and Outbound Links

When you click "Play Now" on any game card in our catalog, you are directed to an external website operated by an independent game publisher. CrucibleWarpCore does not share personal data with these publishers during navigation. However, once you arrive on an external domain, that publisher's own privacy notice governs any data collected during gameplay or account creation.

6. Your Rights Under UK Data Protection Law

Individuals located in the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area hold specific statutory rights regarding their personal data:

• Right of Access: Request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy thereof.
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Request deletion of personal correspondence held in our records.
• Right to Restrict or Object to Processing: Object to processing conducted under legitimate interests or withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: You have the right to raise a concern with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your data rights have been infringed.
