The organization responsible for your personal information on sinbinlounge.com is SinBin Botanical & Timber Guild Ltd. (Registration No. BC-1429805), located at 1075 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 3C9, Canada. You may contact our designated Privacy Officer at privacy@sinbinlounge.com or by telephone at +1 514 555 0123.
2. Information We Collect
Because SinBin Lounge is a zero-monetisation recreational platform, we never collect banking details, payment card numbers, or billing addresses. We collect only:
- Account Registration Data: Your Email Address, chosen Screen Name, Date of Birth (to verify 19+ adult eligibility in British Columbia), and a one-way cryptographic password hash.
- Conservatory Preferences & Ledger: Your selected lighting scene, session reminder interval (15–60 minutes), active Account Break timestamps, and fictional Play Credit ledger entries.
- Support Correspondence: Name, email address, topic, and message body submitted voluntarily via our Concierge Desk.
3. Lawful Bases for Processing (BC PIPA & PIPEDA)
We process personal information strictly in compliance with the British Columbia Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA):
- Service Provision & Age Compliance: Verifying that visitors meet the 19+ adult threshold and maintaining your session state and self-exclusion Account Break requests.
- Explicit Consent (Google Consent Mode v2): Optional analytics telemetry is disabled by default and only activated if you explicitly click "Allow Analytics" in our consent controls.
4. Data Retention & Storage Security
Passwords are stored exclusively using modern cryptographic hashing (password_hash) and are never stored in plain text. File-backed registers are protected by exclusive file locking (flock) and strict directory access restrictions. You may request complete erasure of your account at any time by writing to privacy@sinbinlounge.com.
5. Your Statutory Rights & OIPC Oversight
Under British Columbia's PIPA, you have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, request correction of any inaccuracies, withdraw consent for optional analytics at any time via Consent Mode Preferences, and request deletion of your account record.
If you are unsatisfied with our response to a privacy inquiry, you have the statutory right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia (OIPC) in Victoria, BC, or the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC).
6. Third-Party Data Sharing
We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. When you launch an interactive specimen on play.php, the demo game frame is served from the respective game studio's practice server, which receives standard HTTP request headers (such as IP address and browser user-agent) necessary to render the HTML5 canvas.
