Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 12th, 2024

At Crafters, we take your privacy seriously. This privacy policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it. By using our service, you consent to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information to ensure the continued functioning of our service and to provide accurate data for our users.

  1. Registered User Emails

    When you create an account on our platform, we store your email address. This information is used for account management purposes, including notifications, password recovery, and service-related communications.

  2. Visitor IP Addresses

    We collect and store the IP addresses of visitors to our website. This is done to help prevent abusive behavior, such as hacking, submitting prohibited content, or any activity that could harm the integrity and functionality of our service.

  3. Voting Information

    When players vote for servers on our platform, we store their IP addresses and in-game usernames. This information is collected to prevent voting abuse, such as voting repeatedly on the same server within a restricted time frame.

  4. Server Data

    We regularly ping submitted servers and collect data on latency, player count, player cap, and the timestamp of the ping. This information is used to provide accurate and up-to-date information for users searching for servers to play on.

  5. Reporting System

    To report a server, users must have an account. We require this information to prevent abuse of the reporting system and to ensure that reports are legitimate.

  6. Public Votifier Key

    For servers that have submitted their Votifier key, we store this key to facilitate communication with your server. This allows us to send notifications about player votes securely.

2. How We Use the Information

We use the information collected in the following ways:

Lawful Basis for Processing

We process personal data based on legitimate interests (to maintain security and prevent abuse), contractual necessity (to provide the service you sign up for), and user consent (for data such as email addresses).

Data Subject Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, or delete your data, among other rights. To exercise these rights, contact us here.

Data Retention

We retain personal data such as IP addresses and email addresses for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. You can request the deletion of your data at any time.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that affects your personal data, we will notify you and the relevant data protection authority within 72 hours if required by law.

3. Data Security

We take data security seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. While no system is completely secure, we are committed to safeguarding your personal data.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties, except when required by law or when necessary to protect the integrity of our service.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and you are encouraged to review it regularly. Continued use of our service after changes have been made indicates your acceptance of the new policy.
