Last updated: 25 May 2026  |  Effective: 25 May 2026

StormTitan ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website stormtitan.info (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our Site or interact with our services, including game reviews, tournament registration, and newsletter subscriptions.

We are committed to complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained therein. By using our Site, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

• Complete our contact form (name, email address, message content);
• Register a team for a tournament (team name, captain's name, email address);
• Subscribe to our newsletter (email address);
• Submit a game review pitch or partnership enquiry.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our Site, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including:

• IP address and approximate geographic location;
• Browser type and version;
• Pages visited and time spent on each page;
• Referring URL;
• Device type and operating system.

This information is collected via cookies and similar tracking technologies. Please refer to our Cookie Policy for full details.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your enquiries and provide customer support;
• To process tournament registrations and communicate event details;
• To send our newsletter and editorial updates (only where you have subscribed);
• To improve the content, functionality, and user experience of our Site;
• To analyse Site traffic and usage patterns using aggregated, anonymised data;
• To comply with our legal obligations under Australian law.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal information on the following grounds:

• Consent: Where you have given explicit consent, such as subscribing to our newsletter;
• Contractual necessity: Where processing is required to fulfil a request you have made, such as tournament registration;
• Legitimate interests: Where we have a legitimate business interest, such as improving our Site, provided this does not override your rights;
• Legal obligation: Where we are required to process data to comply with applicable Australian law.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information with:

• Service providers: Third-party vendors who assist us in operating our Site or conducting our business (e.g., email delivery services), subject to confidentiality obligations;
• Tournament co-organisers: Where you register for an event co-hosted with a partner venue, we may share your registration details with that venue solely for event administration purposes;
• Legal authorities: Where required by law, court order, or government regulation.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by Australian law. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Tournament registration data is retained for a period of two years following the relevant event for administrative and legal compliance purposes.

6. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal retention obligations);
• Withdraw consent for newsletter communications at any time by clicking "Unsubscribe" in any email;
• Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au if you believe we have breached your privacy rights.
