Privacy Policy

• On the Minecraft network we process your Minecraft username and account ID, your IP address while you are connected, your chat, and your game progress (items, coins and gems, builds, statistics and so on).
• We need this to run the server, save your progress, keep the game fair and safe, and moderate it.
• The website sets no cookies and has no analytics, advertising or tracking.
• We sell nothing and share nothing for advertising. There is nothing to buy: coins and gems only exist in the game.
• You can ask us at any time what we store about you, and to delete it.

When you join, and while you play, we process:

• Your Minecraft account: username and account ID (UUID), checked with Mojang/Microsoft when you connect, and when you first and last played.
• Your IP address: needed for the connection. Before anything is written to our server logs it is shortened (the last two parts are removed, for example 93.184.0.0), so it no longer points to you. It is not stored in our game database.
• Chat messages and commands: shown to the other players as usual (island chat only to your island), and written to our server logs for moderation. If our automatic filter blocks a message, the message, your name and the blocked word are also posted to a private staff channel on our Discord.
• Game data: your position, inventory and ender chest, XP, health, statistics and advancements, coins and gems with a history of their changes, your daily login streak, cosmetics, settings, homes and warps, where you respawn, on Survival your land claims and who you trust in them, auction listings, and on Skyblock your island (its blocks, level, members and their roles, upgrades, challenges, missions and weekly statistics, machines and spawners, its shared island bank with a history of who paid in or took out), ratings and visitor book signatures you leave, and ratings others give your island.
• A skin our team put on you (the name of that skin), if they did.
• Economy checks: if someone earns unusually fast or sells unusually much, their name, the amounts and where they came from are posted to a private staff channel on our Discord, so our team can check for bugs or cheating. Nothing happens automatically.
• Ranks and permissions, and moderation records (server bans with their reason and length).
• Voice chat (only if you use the Simple Voice Chat mod): your voice is sent live to players near you. It is not recorded or stored.

What others can see: your username, skin, chat, cosmetics and builds, as in any Minecraft server; your coins, gems and island on the leaderboards; your island (with its level, ratings and whether you are online) in the list of islands to visit; your name on your land claims; your name on visitor books you sign and, for the island's owner, on ratings you give; and, for your island's team, your name in the island bank's history.

Our team can look at players' inventories, statistics, coins, gems and islands through our admin dashboard, and change them (for example an island's upgrades or bank), to help players and to moderate.

When you open https://dzzness.com (or the game downloads our resource pack from it), our web server logs the time, the page or file requested, your browser type and your IP address, to deliver the site and keep it secure. For normal visits the IP address is shortened (the last two parts are removed) before it is stored. Only requests for pages that don't exist or are forbidden, which is typically bots scanning for weak spots, keep the full address, so we can recognise and block attacks. The home page also asks our Minecraft server how many players are online; that sends nothing about you.

The public pages set no cookies.

Our community lives on Discord, which is run by Discord Inc. under its own privacy policy. Our bots read the messages and commands in the channels where they work, as far as their features need it (for example feedback rounds: the link you submit, with your Discord name and avatar; or moderation). We keep only what a feature needs.

• To provide the network and the game you join, and to save your progress: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (providing the service you ask for).
• To keep the servers secure, stop cheating and abuse, and moderate (logs, bans, staff tools): Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in a fair, safe community).
• To comply with legal obligations: Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

• Our hosting provider in the European Union, which runs our servers on our behalf.
• Mojang/Microsoft: your game checks your account with them when you join (under Microsoft’s privacy statement).
• Discord, for everything on Discord, and for the staff reports described in section 1 (blocked chat messages, economy checks).
• Other players, for what is visible in the game (see section 1).
• Authorities, only where the law requires it.

Everything else runs on our own servers: the plugins we use (for example for ranks, voice chat or maps) do not send your data to their makers.

• Game data: as long as you play with us. If you ask, we delete your game data on every server (we have a tool for exactly that). Your island bank stays with the island for its team, but your name is removed from its history.
• Staff reports on our Discord (blocked messages, economy checks): deleted once our team no longer needs them for moderation.
• Minecraft server logs (chat, commands, joins with shortened IP addresses) and our other app logs: deleted automatically after 14 days.
• A log of the commands you run in Minecraft (with time and server; login and password commands without what you typed after them), which our moderators can see: deleted automatically after 30 days.
• Security logs (the website access log, and failed logins and blocked connections to our server), used to recognise and stop attacks: deleted automatically after 3 months.
• Bans and their reasons: as long as the ban lasts, and a while after, so it can't simply be dodged.

Many of our players are young. Players under 16 should ask a parent before playing. We collect only what the game needs, nothing for advertising, and there is nothing to buy. Parents can email support@dzzness.com to see or delete their child's data. Our Discord server, like Discord itself, is for ages 13+.

You have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive it in a portable form (Art. 15–21 GDPR). Email support@dzzness.com and tell us your Minecraft username (and, for Discord, your Discord name).

You can also complain to a data protection authority, for example the one where you live.
