Required data

Our services already collect some required data by just accessing them, which are important for the provision of our services.
The following required data is collected in this regard:

  • User IDs (Minecraft or Hytale UUID, Xbox User ID, Discord User ID, etc.)
  • Names or usernames
  • IP address
  • Location information (e.g. time zone, to display the correct time)
  • Date and time at the time of access
  • The browser used
  • The client and the game version in Minecraft
  • The selected language in the Minecraft, Hytale and Discord settings

Data collected through use

When actively using our services, additional data is collected, which is important for the proper experience. Some of these can also be disabled by the user.
The following data is automatically collected through the use of our services:

  • Email address
  • Information about game profiles (such as unique IDs)
  • In-game statistics as well as statistics on Discord (e.g. game duration, number of games played, number of games won, number of messages sent, time spent in voice channels, ...).

Additional data (e.g. date of birth, links to social media profiles) may be collected if the user decides to share them, for example by adding them to their in-game or website profile or when registering on our website. These can all be removed/deactivated later as well.

Purposes of data processing

Personal data may be used for the following purposes:

  • Collect anonymous analytics data and statistics (e.g. number of website visitors at different times, number of players in a game at different times, percentage of access to our services from different regions/countries, ...).
  • Recruit the user as a registered member of our services.
  • Use the Email address to inform about activities on our website.
  • Temporarily store the IP address when our services are accessed. The IP address is never publicly visible in this case.
  • Log files (logs) of various actions which are stored on our servers in order to be able to get to the bottom of misconduct by users and to locate errors in our own systems. These log files are only stored temporarily.
  • Tracking of rule violations. Should our systems or a team member detect a violation of our rules, data such as game histories, chat messages, etc. may be collected for later sanctioning.

Processing of chat messages

In direct exchanges between users within our Minecraft game modes, private and public messages can be sent. We take a number of security precautions to keep the exchange as pleasant as possible for all parties involved and free of inappropriate content.

Users can send internet links within the text contained in their public message, for example to an explanatory video or an article on gaming or conversation-related topics. Depending on the Skydinse service you are using, links in chat messages may be automatically recognized and checked using various methods. These methods include checking the links using Google's Safe Browsing Lookup API (v4). This API interface can be used to check links for dangerous content such as phishing or viruses, whereby the link sent is exchanged with the relevant service provider (Google Ireland Limited). It is important to note that in this process (whether in a private or public message) only the link itself is shared with the service provider. The service provider does not receive any information about the rest of the message, the sender, the recipients or any other information relating to the message.

Secure storage of data

We strive to ensure that all information provided to us by our users is secure. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place appropriate measures and procedures to protect and secure the information we collect.
Since in the digital world, of course, no data set or system is 100% secure, we strive to anonymize our users' data as much as possible and to make it as difficult as possible to read or evaluate them in the event of data loss. In addition, we are of course aware of our responsibility to minimize the damage in the event of data loss and to inform all affected users as quickly as possible.

Encryption

To protect data exchanged with our website, it is transmitted using SSL encryption. An encrypted connection can be recognized by the fact that the address in the address line of the browser begins with "https://" instead of "http://". In most modern browsers, this can also be recognized by the lock symbol or comparable symbols in the browser line.
Sensitive (login) data (e.g. passwords) are additionally stored in encrypted form. This means that even server administrators cannot read out the encrypted data of individual users.

Use of cookies

Cookies are small text files that our websites can store on the end device of a user. They enable us to provide certain functions on our websites. These include functions such as logging in or saving certain settings.
