Welcome to the Athey Creek Network! We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we collect, use, and secure your information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices for our Minecraft server, website, and any related services (collectively, the "Services").
By using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
We collect certain information to provide and improve our Services for you. The types of information we collect are:
In-Game Information:
Minecraft Username (In-Game Name) & UUID: Your unique Minecraft identifier is collected to identify you on our network.
IP Address: We log your IP address when you connect to our server for security purposes, such as preventing rule-breaking and protecting against DDoS attacks.
Chat Logs & Commands: We store public chat messages and commands you use on the server to enforce our rules and assist with player support.
Gameplay Data: This includes information about your in-game activity, such as your inventory, game stats, progress, and playtime. This is essential for the gameplay experience.
Information You Provide Directly:
Email Address: If you register on our website, forums, or for a service that requires it (like password recovery), we may collect your email address.
Communications: If you contact us directly through support tickets or email, we will keep a record of that correspondence.
Information from Website Usage (if applicable):
Cookies: Our website may use cookies to enhance your experience, such as keeping you logged in. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
Usage Data: We may collect anonymous data about how our website is accessed and used (e.g., page views, time spent on site) to help us improve our services.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
To Provide and Maintain Our Services: To operate the Minecraft server, save your progress, and ensure a stable and fair gameplay environment.
To Protect Our Server and Community: To enforce our rules, prevent cheating, ban players who violate our terms of service, and investigate security incidents.
To Communicate With You: To respond to your support requests, send important announcements about the server, and provide other information related to our Services.
To Process Transactions: If you make a donation or purchase, we use third-party payment processors. We do not store your credit card information. We only receive a confirmation of the transaction.
To Improve Our Services: To analyze usage trends and player behavior to help us improve the server, add new features, and fix bugs.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:
With Our Staff: Authorized members of the Athey Creek Network staff may access your information to perform their duties, such as providing support or enforcing rules.
With Third-Party Service Providers: We may use third-party companies to facilitate our Services (e.g., server hosting, payment processing, website analytics). These third parties have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if we believe it is required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Athey Creek Network, our players, or the public.
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Our server is protected by security measures, and access to sensitive player data is restricted to essential personnel. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
For players in Europe, the age of consent is 16, unless a member state has lowered it (but not below 13). The same principles apply.
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:
The right to access the personal information we hold about you.
The right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal information.
The right to request that we delete your personal information.
To exercise these rights, please contact us. Please note that we may need to retain certain information for record-keeping purposes or to complete transactions. Deleting certain data (like your gameplay progress) is irreversible.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. We recommend that you review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
