This Policy explains what data we collect, why we use it, how long it may be stored, and how users can contact us about their rights.

General provisions

We process personal data only for site operation, security, user support, and service improvement.

This Policy applies to all site users, including registered users and visitors without registration.

What data we collect

Data you provide voluntarily

• username or nickname;
• email address;
• data you submit through forms or during registration.
• information you provide when contacting support or confirming rights to a server.

Data collected automatically

• IP address;
• browser and device type;
• pages you visit;
• request date and time;
• technical logs and error information.
• page URL, referrer, and approximate geography by IP if needed for analytics or security.

Public game data

The site may also show public or technically available Minecraft server data:

• server address, port, status, version, and platform;
• number of players online;
• plugins, if the server exposes them through query;
• player nicknames and sessions, if this data is available during monitoring.

Such data is not always personal, but we still handle correction or removal requests when there is a sufficient basis.

Purpose of data processing

We use collected data to:

• provide and maintain the site;
• create and manage accounts;
• analytics and service improvement;
• security, abuse prevention, and fraud prevention;
• ensure stable API operation;
• review server owner requests, DMCA notices, and support tickets;
• detect technical errors, overload, or unauthorized automation.

Cookies and local storage

The site may use cookies or similar technologies for:

• user authorization;
• saving preferences;
• site usage analytics;
• remembering cookie banner consent;
• protection against abuse.

You can limit or disable cookies in your browser settings.

Data sharing with third parties

We do not sell or share personal data with third parties except:

• when required for site operation (hosting, analytics);
• when required by law;
• to protect rights, security, and service stability.

Infrastructure providers may process technical data only within the scope of providing their services.

Data retention

We store personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy or as required by technical, security, or legal requirements.

Technical logs may be stored for a limited time to diagnose issues, protect against attacks, and control API limits.

Data protection

We apply technical and organizational measures to protect data from:

• unauthorized access;
• loss;
• destruction or alteration.

However, no method of data transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Users have the right to:

• receive information about their personal data;
• request correction or deletion of data;
• restrict or object to processing;
• withdraw consent to data processing;
• contact us with privacy-related questions;
• ask what data is connected to their account or request.

API data

API requests may be logged for:

• rate limiting;
• security;
• service stability;
• finding errors in responses or integrations.

API logs are not used to identify individuals unless needed for security, abuse investigation, or legal compliance.

Policy changes

We may update this Privacy Policy. The current version is always available on this page.

Continued use of the site means acceptance of the updated Policy.
