Privacy Policy

This document is a professional draft prepared for review. It must be confirmed by the association, and where appropriate by a qualified adviser, before publication is considered final.

The controller for personal data connected with this website is:

Malta Video Game Studio Association, Triq Valletta, Il-Mosta, MST 9017, Malta. Telephone +35623496200. Email info@kurzemesarheologija.org (pending verification).

The association has not published information about the appointment of a Data Protection Officer.

This website does not run a database, user accounts, analytics or advertising tools. The inquiry forms do not transmit or store anything on the website: they prepare a message in your own email application, and data reaches the association only if you choose to send that email.

When you email the association, it receives the information you include — typically your name, email address, optionally your organisation and role, and the content of your message. The hosting provider may process technical data such as IP addresses in server logs for security and reliability.

Correspondence is used only to respond to your inquiry and keep a record of it. The legal bases are your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) and the association's legitimate interest in answering inquiries about its work (Article 6(1)(f)). Technical log data is processed on the basis of legitimate interest in operating a secure website.

Correspondence should be kept only as long as needed to deal with the inquiry and any reasonable follow-up. The specific retention period is to be confirmed by the association.

Personal data is not sold or shared for marketing. The association's email and hosting providers process data on its behalf; where such providers operate outside the European Economic Area, transfers should rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses. Provider details are to be confirmed.

The website is intended for adults and professionals. If you are under 16, please ask a parent or guardian before sending personal information to the association.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Malta's Data Protection Act (Cap. 586) you have the right to access your personal data, to have it corrected, to have it erased, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability where applicable, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing.

You may also lodge a complaint with the Office of the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC), Malta — idpc.org.mt.
