Privacy Policy

We collect information from you when you register on minecraftservers.blog, place an order and/or when you vote for a Minecraft server on the website.

Account registration requires a username, email, and password. You may, however, still browse and use minecraftservers.blog anonymously. When placing an order, we will require additional information such as your name and address.

For voting for Minecraft servers listed on minecraftservers.blog, we will require your entered Minecraft username (to register your vote with Votifier) and your IP address to prevent double-voting. Your personal IP address is never shared with server providers; this data is used internally for validation and protection against abuse.

The information we collect is used to operate, maintain, and improve our service. Specifically, your data may be used in the following ways:

• To validate voting and protect against double-voting.
• To personalise your experience and better respond to individual needs.
• To process transactions such as payments for premium or additional services.
• To enhance customer support through faster request processes.
• To improve the minecraftservers.blog experience based on feedback and usage.

If you choose to make a payment, your registration details may be shared with trusted payment processors to verify and protect against unauthorised transactions.

Your information will never be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any third party without your consent, except where necessary to deliver a purchased product or service.

We take security and safeguarding your data very seriously. We use industry-standard encryption methods and best practices to securely store, send, and receive your data.

Information we collect is stored or processed on secure servers. Access to this data is strictly protected against unauthorised personnel. In rare instances, we may be required by law or special situations to disclose limited information.

We do not sell, trade, or share any of the information we collect to outside parties. Your privacy is taken very seriously.

Certain trusted third-party partners may be granted limited access to your information where it is necessary to operate our service. This includes but is not limited to processing payments, delivering services, or providing customer support. These partners are contractually obligated to keep your data secure and confidential.

This privacy policy applies exclusively to the information that we collect through minecraftservers.blog and any affiliated subdomains. This does not extend to information collected offline, or through third-party links that may be advertised or be accessible through minecraftservers.blog.

By using this website and our services, you acknowledge and agree that this policy governs only the data collected within our online platform.

By accessing and using minecraftservers.blog, you acknowledge and agree to use the terms outlined in the Privacy Policy.

You also agree that we reserve the right to update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices with your information. If material changes are made, we will make a clear notice on minecraftservers.blog.

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time. Users can delete their accounts directly through the settings page on their dashboard, which will result in the instant removal of all associated data from our systems, including votes and IPs. Alternatively, users may contact us via email using the same address associated with their account, and an administrator will manually process the deletion request. Manual deletion requests are completed within 30 days.

Once deleted, all identifiable user information is permanently removed from our database. Please note that inactive accounts are retained indefinitely unless manually deleted by the user. We currently do not perform automatic deletion of inactive accounts.

minecraftservers.blog complies fully with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, correction, and erasure ("right to be forgotten"). Users can exercise these rights by contacting us or emailing [email protected]. Once a valid request is received, all personal data associated with the account will be permanently deleted.

We take data security seriously. All sensitive information including usernames, passwords, and IP addresses is encrypted during transmission and at rest using industry-standard encryption protocols. Passwords are securely hashed and never stored in plain text.

Access to stored data is strictly limited to authorised personnel and protected using secure authentication methods.

In the event of a data breach involving personal information, affected users will be notified via email and through an announcement on our website within 72 hours of discovery, in accordance with GDPR requirements. We take all breaches seriously and will act promptly to secure user information.

minecraftservers.blog uses trusted third-party providers to help operate and improve our services. Data may be stored or processed in the United States or the European Union, depending on the service. All third-party providers we work with comply with GDPR, local privacy laws, and follow strong data protection standards.

Most of our data collection is for security and internal statistics. We do not sell, advertise, or share personally identifiable information with external parties. Because these services are necessary for the website to function properly, users cannot opt out of them.

minecraftservers.blog may use minimal cookies and analytics tools to ensure proper functionality and measure general usage trends. These tools help us understand overall website performance and detect abuse.

We do not use cookies or trackers that personally identify users. Information collected through analytics is aggregated and anonymised.

The legal basis for processing user data under GDPR depends on the context:

• Consent: for basic website functionality and analytics tools.
• Contract: for user account creation, voting, and related features.
• Legitimate interest: for maintaining security, preventing abuse, and ensuring website integrity.

We process data only when necessary to provide our services and comply with applicable laws.
