Privacy notice
Updated: January 16, 2026 · effective January 16, 2026
1. Who we are
pixelquestia.com ("Pixelquest", "we") is an independent editorial crew that publishes a monthly set of free pixel-art mobile games. For any question about personal data, write to [email protected].
2. What we collect
- Server logs: IP address, user-agent, referring page, date and time, generated automatically by the web server.
- Cookies and similar technologies: essential cookies, plus analytics and advertising cookies with your consent. See the cookie page.
- Analytics data: aggregated statistics on page views and traffic sources.
- Advertising identifiers: identifiers assigned by ad networks for measurement and frequency capping.
- Subscription form data: email address (required), name and phone (optional), and the record of your consent.
- Push identifiers: if you enable alerts, a browser or device identifier plus the tags tied to the subscription (domain, name, phone, source).
3. Purposes and legal basis
Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), we rely on your consent to collect, use and disclose personal information, and we limit collection to what is needed for the purposes below:
- Run and secure the site (logs, essential cookies) — necessary to provide a working, abuse-protected service.
- Send you the alert when the new set is out, by email and push — your consent.
- Measure traffic with aggregated analytics — your consent, via the cookie banner.
- Show advertising and measure it — your consent, via the cookie banner.
4. Alerts and email: OneSignal
Subscriptions and notifications are handled by OneSignal, acting as our service provider. When you submit the form, your email and the subscription tags (site domain, name and phone if given, source) are sent to OneSignal; if you accept the browser prompt, a push identifier is also created for your device. We use these only to deliver the alert about the new set — we do not sell them and do not use them for advertising profiling. OneSignal may process data outside Canada, including in the United States, under contractual safeguards; where data is processed abroad it may be accessible to foreign courts and authorities under local law. You can revoke the permission from your browser settings at any time.
5. Who receives the data
Data may be processed, each within its function, by: the hosting and network provider, the analytics service, the ad networks that serve ads, and OneSignal for email and push. We do not sell personal data or share it with third parties for their own purposes.
6. Retention
- Server logs: up to 12 months.
- Analytics, in aggregated form: up to 26 months.
- Subscription data and push identifiers: until you withdraw consent or ask for deletion.
- Cookies: per the lifetimes listed on the cookie page.
7. Your rights
Under PIPEDA you may ask to access the personal information we hold about you, request a correction, and withdraw your consent at any time (which does not affect processing already carried out). Write to [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your information, you may file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) — 30 Victoria Street, Gatineau, Quebec K1A 1H3, www.priv.gc.ca.
8. Security
The site is served over HTTPS. Access to management tools is limited to the crew members who need it, protected by individual credentials. We collect the minimum necessary, which is also the simplest way to reduce risk.
9. Children
The site is intended for an adult audience and does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If we learn we have received a child's data without a parent's or guardian's consent, we delete it.
10. Changes
If we update this notice we will change the date above; for significant changes we will also flag it on the home page.
