Orc’s World is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a safe online experience. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the options available to you regarding your data. It applies to all Services operated by Orc’s World, including our Minecraft server, website, webstore, and any related online features.

By using Orc’s World, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please refrain from using our Services.

1) Information We Collect

We collect various types of information to provide and improve our Services, ensure security, and enhance user experience.

Personal Information (PII): When you use our Services, you may be asked to provide personal details including your Minecraft username, email address, Discord ID, and information associated with purchases, such as your billing name, country, and ZIP/postal code. We collect this information when you make purchases through our webstore, link your account to Discord, or contact our support team.

Payment Information: During purchases, we collect necessary payment-related information to process transactions and deliver digital goods. This includes your email, Minecraft username, and limited billing information (e.g., postal code and country). All sensitive payment details, such as credit card numbers, are processed securely by a third-party payment processor and are not stored on our servers.

Gameplay and Server Data: When you connect to the Orc’s World Minecraft server, we collect your Minecraft UUID (unique user ID) and IP address. We may also collect gameplay-related data such as in-game activity, rank status, and inventory for technical support, moderation, and improving your experience.

Device and Technical Data: We automatically collect data such as your IP address, browser type, device operating system, screen resolution, and activity logs (e.g., login times, page views, error logs). This information helps us identify technical issues, prevent abuse, and analyze usage patterns.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies: Our website uses cookies to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and track usage trends. You may disable cookies in your browser, but doing so could affect certain features or functionality of the site.

 

2) How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used for the following purposes:

  • To Provide Services: Your personal information allows us to operate and manage the Orc’s World Minecraft server, process purchases, and deliver in-game content such as ranks, items, and currency.
  • To Improve User Experience: We use gameplay data and analytics to optimize performance, balance features, and troubleshoot technical problems.
  • To Communicate with You: We may use your email address to send important notices about purchases, service updates, changes to our policies, or issues with your account. You can opt out of promotional emails at any time.
  • To Enforce Rules and Ensure Security: Your data helps us detect and prevent abuse, enforce our Terms of Service, and moderate community behavior, especially in areas like chat, voice, and player conduct.
    To Comply with Legal Obligations: We may retain and use your data if required by law or legal proceedings, or if necessary to protect our legal rights.

 

3) Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information in the following situations:

  • With Service Providers: We use trusted third-party providers for functions such as payment processing, web hosting, and analytics. These providers only receive the data necessary to perform their tasks and are obligated to protect it under contract.
  • With Your Consent: If you choose to link your account to third-party platforms (e.g., Discord), we may share specific information such as your Minecraft username and user ID to enable account linking.
  • For Legal Compliance: We may disclose personal information if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, enforce our Terms of Service, or protect our users or infrastructure.
  • During Business Transfers: If Orc’s World is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify users if such changes affect their data rights.

 

4) Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your personal information:

  1. Access and Correction: You may request access to the data we hold about you and request corrections if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
  2. Data Deletion: You may request deletion of your personal data, except where we are required to retain it for legal or operational reasons (e.g., transaction history or dispute resolution).
  3. Cookie Preferences: Most browsers allow you to manage your cookie settings. You can choose to block or delete cookies, though this may limit functionality.
  4. Advertising Opt-Out: You may opt out of interest-based ads by visiting Network Advertising Initiative or Digital Advertising Alliance.

 

5) Security Measures

We take the security of your data seriously and implement technical and organizational measures to protect it. This includes encryption, firewalls, and strict access controls. However, no system is 100% secure. Users are encouraged to use strong, unique passwords and avoid sharing account credentials.

6) Children’s Privacy

Orc’s World is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child without parental consent, we will delete it promptly. Parents who believe their child has submitted personal information should contact us immediately.

7) International Users

Orc’s World is accessible worldwide. By using our Services, you understand that your data may be transferred to and stored in servers located outside your country, including jurisdictions with different data protection laws.
