Privacy policy
Joremalix is five people writing about games from a rented floor in Norwich. We hold very little personal data, we hold none of it for long, and we have never passed any of it to a third party. This page describes exactly what we do keep and what you can ask us to do with it.
Last reviewed: 4 August 2026. Where this page and the cookie policy overlap, the cookie policy carries the fuller detail on browser storage.
1. Who is responsible for your data
The data controller is the Joremalix editorial desk, an unincorporated collective of five contributors based at Second floor, St George’s Works, 51 Colegate, Norwich NR3 1DD, United Kingdom. Data questions reach all five of us at [email protected], and are answered by whoever is free rather than by a designated officer, since a desk of our size is not required to appoint one.
We are not part of a larger publisher, we have no parent company, and no advertising network, analytics provider or affiliate scheme has any relationship with this site.
2. The two ways we ever receive your data
There are only two. Everything else on this site is static text and pictures served to your browser with nothing collected in return.
| Route | What we receive | Why | How long we keep it |
|---|---|---|---|
| The inbox form, or an ordinary email to the desk | Your name as you give it, your email address, the topic you choose, the platform you play on, and the text of your message | To read your message and reply to it, and to correct an entry where you have shown that it is wrong | Twelve months from our reply, then deleted. Where a message led to a published correction, we keep the correction itself indefinitely but strip your name and address from our records at the twelve-month point |
| The dispatch list, if you choose to join it | Your email address only. No name, no preferences, no tracking of whether you opened anything | To send the seasonal note listing new entries in the log | Until you unsubscribe, or after two consecutive bounces, at which point the address is removed automatically |
We do not ask for a postal address, a telephone number, a date of birth, or anything about your household. If you volunteer such details in the body of a message we will not use them and they are removed when the message is deleted.
3. Our lawful bases
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation we rely on two bases and no others.
- Consent for the dispatch list, and for the optional item of browser storage described in the cookie policy. Consent can be withdrawn at any time and withdrawing it costs you nothing and changes nothing else about how the site works for you.
- Legitimate interests for handling correspondence sent to the desk. Our interest is in running an editorial log that can be corrected; the processing is limited to reading and answering what you chose to send us, which we consider a use you would reasonably expect.
We do not process any special category data, we do not profile anyone, and no decision affecting you is ever made by automated means on this site.
4. Server logs
Our hosting provider records ordinary web-server access logs, which include the requesting IP address, the time of the request, the page requested and the browser user-agent string. This is a technical function of the server rather than something we have chosen to switch on, and we cannot disable it without also losing the ability to diagnose outages.
We do not read these logs as a matter of routine, we do not connect them to anything else, and we never attempt to identify an individual from them. The provider deletes them on a rolling fourteen-day cycle. They are not used to compile audience figures, and the anonymous reading count described in the cookie policy is a separate mechanism that stays inside your own browser.
5. Who can see your message
All five contributors have access to the desk inbox, because a message about a correction may concern any of our entries and we would rather answer it quickly than route it. Nobody outside those five reads it.
Two processors are unavoidably involved: the company that hosts this site and serves its files, and the email provider that carries the desk mailbox. Both are engaged under written terms that restrict them to processing on our instructions, and both operate on servers within the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area. We make no transfers of personal data outside those jurisdictions. Beyond those two, your data is never shared, sold, rented, licensed, syndicated or made available for any purpose whatever, including to publishers whose games we have written about.
6. Your rights
You have the full set of rights available under UK data protection law. In practice, given how little we hold, most of them resolve into a short conversation.
| Right | What it means here |
|---|---|
| Access | Ask us for a copy of anything we hold about you. We reply within one month, usually within a week, and the answer is often that the only record is a single email thread. |
| Rectification | Ask us to correct anything inaccurate, including the spelling of your name in a reply. |
| Erasure | Ask us to delete your message and your address. We do so unless we are still mid-conversation about a correction, in which case we will say so and delete on completion. |
| Restriction | Ask us to hold data without using it while a dispute is resolved. |
| Objection | Object to our processing of correspondence under legitimate interests. In practice this means we stop and delete. |
| Portability | Ask for the data you gave us in a machine-readable file. We send plain text or JSON. |
| Withdraw consent | Leave the dispatch list, or clear the optional browser item, at any moment. |
Exercising any of these is free. Write to [email protected], or use the inbox form and choose “My personal data” as the topic. We may ask you to confirm the request from the address we hold, which is the only identity check we perform.
7. Children
This site carries editorial writing about games and is intended for a general adult readership. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under thirteen, and we do not ask any visitor their age because we have no reason to. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, write to the desk and we will delete the message on receipt rather than on verification.
8. How we keep it safe
The site is served over an encrypted connection. The desk mailbox is protected by two-factor authentication on all five accounts. Messages awaiting a reply live in that mailbox and nowhere else, and are not copied into spreadsheets, shared documents or a customer-management system, because we do not use one.
We hold no payment details of any kind. Nothing on this site is for sale, there is no shop, no subscription, no donation button and no membership tier, so no financial data ever reaches us.
9. Links away from this site
Our entries occasionally link to a developer’s own page, a patch note or a public accessibility document. Once you follow such a link you are on somebody else’s site under somebody else’s policy, and we have no influence over what they collect. We never use affiliate or tracking links, so no link on this site carries an identifier that would tell a third party you came from us.
10. If we get it wrong
Tell us first if you are willing to; we would rather fix a mistake than argue about one. If you remain dissatisfied you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the United Kingdom’s supervisory authority for data protection, which can be contacted through its own published channels. Complaining to the regulator does not require our permission and does not affect how we handle any other request from you.
11. Changes to this page
If this policy changes we will update the review date at the top and describe the change in the next seasonal dispatch. Material changes affecting how we use data already collected will be notified by email to anyone on the dispatch list before they take effect. We do not backdate this page or edit it silently.
Still unclear?
Ask a plain question, get a plain answer
If any paragraph above reads as evasive, that is a fault worth reporting. Write to the desk and we will either explain it properly or rewrite it.
