This privacy policy will explain what information we collect online, why we collect it, and the choices we offer to you.

 

This privacy policy ("Policy") describes the data practices of Orc's World, a Minecraft server owned and operated by Jonathan Stinson ("we", "our", or "us"). It covers all services provided through Orc's World, including the server itself, any associated websites, and related services (collectively "Services"). By using the Services, you are consenting to this Policy and the processing of your data in the manner described in this Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the Services.

 

Information We Collect

 

We may collect information about the Services you use and how you use them, such as the actions you take on our server. We collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Device-Identifiable Information (DII), and log information about your interactions as described below.

• Personally Identifiable Information (PII): PII is information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, email address, Minecraft username, and payment information. We may collect PII when you interact with the server, such as when you register for an account, make a purchase, or contact us for support.
• Device-Identifiable Information (DII): DII includes data like your IP address, device identifiers, and technical information (e.g., browser type, operating system, and device data). This also includes information related to your usage patterns, like timestamps, server events, crashes, and in-game interactions.
• We may also collect information related to your interactions with our Services, including in-game actions, navigation paths, and gameplay statistics. Some of this data is stored for the purpose of improving your experience on Orc's World.

How We Use the Information We Collect

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, protect, and improve Orc's World and our Services.
• Customize your experience and interactions on the server.
• Respond to inquiries and provide customer support.
• Notify you of important updates, new features, or changes to the server.
• Protect the server and our users from malicious activity and fraud.

Your email address and other contact information may be used to send you server updates, newsletters, or other communications relevant to Orc's World. Please remember that any information posted in public areas (like in-game chat or forums) is viewable by others.

 

How We Share Information

We will not share your PII with third parties except in the following cases:

• With your consent: We will share your PII if we have obtained your permission to do so.
• For processing: We may share your PII with trusted third-party providers that help us operate our server, including payment processors or hosting providers, but they will only use your information as needed to perform their services.
• For legal reasons: We may share your PII if required by law or in response to legal requests, such as for fraud detection or to protect the safety and rights of our users.
• In case of business changes: If Orc's World is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of such changes via email or a prominent notice on our website or server.
• For business purposes: We may share aggregated, anonymized data with partners, advertisers, or other entities for analysis and marketing.

 

Third Parties

Our Services may involve third-party services or tools, and we do not control their privacy practices. For example, third-party services like payment processors or advertising providers may collect information related to your use of the server.

You may cancel or delete your account by contacting us or through the in-game options provided. If you wish to opt out of certain data collection practices (such as targeted advertising), you can follow the guidelines provided by third-party services, such as opting out via their advertising settings.

 

Accessing and Updating Your Information

You can request access to or updates of your PII by contacting us. We may ask you to verify your identity before fulfilling any requests. In some cases, we may retain your data for legitimate business or legal reasons.

 

Information Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure, but please understand that no system is entirely secure. We encourage you to take precautions to protect your account, such as using strong, unique passwords.

 

Children Under 13

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately to request the removal of that information.
