Privacy Policy
1Overview
This Privacy Policy explains what information the Unchecked SMP website, Discord server, and Minecraft server (together, the “Service”) collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.
2Information We Collect
Website. When you visit uncheckedsmp.online, our infrastructure provider Cloudflare processes technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages requested, and timestamps in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. The website does not require an account and does not use advertising cookies or third-party advertising trackers.
Minecraft server. When you connect, we receive and may store:
- Your Minecraft username, UUID, and platform (Java or Bedrock, including Xbox gamertag where applicable).
- Your IP address and connection details.
- Chat messages, private messages, commands, and signs or books you write.
- Gameplay activity such as logins, locations, blocks placed or broken, container access, combat, and item transactions.
- Moderation records, including warnings, mutes, bans, and notes.
Forms. If you submit a Report Player, Report Bug, or Ban Appeal form, we receive the information you provide, which may include your Minecraft name, Discord name, descriptions, and evidence such as screenshots or video. These forms are hosted by Google and are subject to Google’s privacy policy.
Discord. If you join our Discord server, we can see the information Discord makes available to server administrators, such as your username, user ID, roles, and messages.
3How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Operate, secure, and maintain the Service and the game world.
- Enforce our Server Rules and Terms of Service, investigate reports, and handle appeals.
- Detect and prevent cheating, exploits, ban evasion, and abuse.
- Diagnose bugs, measure performance, and improve the Service.
- Communicate with you about reports, appeals, and the Service.
- Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights and the safety of others.
4Legal Bases
Where data protection laws such as the GDPR apply, we process personal data to perform our agreement with you (providing the Service), for our legitimate interests (security, moderation, and fair play), to comply with legal obligations, and, where required, with your consent.
5How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only:
- With service providers that help us run the Service, such as Cloudflare, our server hosting provider, Google (forms), and Discord, who process it on our behalf.
- With server staff and moderators who need it to run the Service and enforce the rules.
- When required by law, legal process, or a valid request from authorities, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Service, its players, or others.
- In connection with a transfer or restructuring of the Service.
Your Minecraft username, chat messages, and in-game activity are visible to other players on the server by nature of the game, and may appear in screenshots, videos, or maps.
6Data Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above. Server logs are generally kept for a limited period, while moderation records, such as bans, may be kept for as long as necessary to enforce the rules and prevent ban evasion. Information in reports and appeals is kept while the matter is open and for a reasonable time afterward.
7Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including access controls and encrypted connections on our website. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to request a copy of your data. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity, and we may retain information we are required or permitted by law to keep, such as records needed to enforce a ban.
9Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
10International Transfers
The Service and its providers may process and store information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
11Third-Party Links
The Service links to third-party sites and services, including Discord, Google Forms, and YouTube. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies.
12Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date above shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised policy.
13Contact
For privacy questions or requests, contact staff through the Unchecked SMP (our Discord server).
