The fine print
Privacy policy
Luminvante collects almost nothing, and this page says exactly what that "almost" is, under Canada's PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25.
Last updated: 10 July 2026.
Who we are
Luminvante is an independent, non-commercial editorial guide to cozy mobile games, run by a single individual based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is not a registered company, so no business number is claimed here. For anything on this page, you can reach the person responsible at [email protected].
Privacy Officer and contact
Questions, requests and complaints about your personal information go to our Privacy Officer at [email protected]. Quebec's Law 25 requires a named contact for privacy matters, and that address is it.
What we collect
- Subscribe form. If you fill in the form, we collect the name and email you type in. We never ask for a phone number. Your email and a few basic tags (such as the source of the sign-up and the site domain) are used to keep you subscribed and to send you updates.
- Push notifications. If you choose to turn on browser push notifications, your browser and our push provider create a subscription token for your device so we can send you notices. This only happens after you give express opt-in through your browser's own permission prompt.
- Server logs. Like almost every website, our host records basic technical data when a page loads: IP address, browser type (user agent), and the time of the request. This is standard security and reliability housekeeping.
We do not run advertising. We do use a push-notification service and light tagging to manage subscriptions, which means a limited amount of profiling takes place so we can send relevant updates. We do not sell your data or use it for third-party advertising.
Why we use it (purposes)
- To keep in touch. Your name and email are used to reply to you and, if you subscribed, to send you updates about the site.
- To send push notifications. If you opted in, your subscription token is used to deliver browser push notices.
- To keep the site running and safe. Server logs help diagnose errors and defend against abuse.
Consent, and withdrawing it
When you submit the subscribe form, you tick a box giving clear, meaningful consent for us to use your details to keep in touch. Push notifications need a separate express opt-in through your browser's own permission prompt, in line with Canada's anti-spam law (CASL). You can withdraw consent at any time, as easily as you gave it: disable notifications for this site in your browser settings to stop push messages, and email [email protected] to unsubscribe your email and have your details deleted. We will.
Who else sees it (service providers)
Our website hosting provider processes the server logs and stores the site on our behalf. For subscriptions and push notifications we use OneSignal as a service provider, which processes your email and the associated tags on our behalf to manage your subscription and deliver notices. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone, and we do not share it for advertising.
Data outside Canada
Depending on our host's infrastructure, technical data such as server logs may be processed on servers located outside Canada, including in the United States. OneSignal is based in the United States, so the email and tags tied to your subscription are transferred to and processed on servers outside Canada as part of a cross-border transfer. Where that happens, the data remains subject to reasonable safeguards. Law 25 asks us to tell you when information may leave the province, so we are telling you.
How long we keep it
We keep contact-form messages only as long as needed to handle your request and any reasonable follow-up, then delete them. Server logs are kept for a short period for security and troubleshooting, then rotated out.
Your rights
Under PIPEDA and Law 25 you can ask to access the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, and ask us to delete it. Email [email protected] and we will respond within the timelines the law sets.
How to complain
If you are not satisfied with how we handled your information, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca. If you are in Quebec, you may also contact the Commission d'accès à l'information (CAI).
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of the page. Given how little we collect, we do not expect it to change often.
