Qirvondal.com ("Qirvondal", "we", "us") is an independent gaming guide portal. The person responsible for the personal information handled through this site is:

Data Controller: Liam Smith
Country: Australia
Email: [email protected]

This policy is written with reference to the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), as Qirvondal is operated for an Australian audience. Visitors from the European Economic Area are, in addition, entitled to the rights described in Section 6 to the extent those rights apply under EU law.

• If you submit a request on our Passes page: your name, email address, the pass you selected, and any optional notes you add. This is used only to reply to your request and, if you proceed, to arrange your pass by email.

We do not require account creation to read guides on this site, and we do not collect payment or card information anywhere on Qirvondal.com — Passes are requested by form only, with payment arranged separately by email. See our Terms of Service for how this works.

• Replying to you — if you email us or use the contact form, we use your details only to respond to your enquiry.
• Processing a Pass request — if you submit the form on our Passes page, we use your details only to confirm the request by email and, if you proceed, to arrange your pass.
