Some information may be processed automatically by our hosting infrastructure to deliver and protect the website.

Support Communications

If you contact our staff through Discord, we may process the information you voluntarily provide, including your username, messages, screenshots, and other relevant support details.

Please avoid sharing passwords, payment credentials, or unnecessary sensitive personal information.

We process information where necessary to:

• Operate and maintain the SkyWorldSMP website and Minecraft server
• Authenticate connections and support optional account linking
• Save gameplay progress, purchases, rewards, and account settings
• Operate the in-game economy, companies, leaderboards, and events
• Detect cheating, exploits, fraud, and security threats
• Investigate reports and enforce server rules
• Respond to support requests
• Maintain the stability and security of our services
• Fulfill applicable legal obligations

We do not sell players' personal information to advertisers or data brokers.

Where applicable data protection laws require a legal basis, our processing may rely on:

• Performance of a contract: Providing the Minecraft server and services you request.
• Legitimate interests: Maintaining service security, preventing abuse, resolving technical problems, and operating the community.
• Consent: Where required for optional processing, such as certain non-essential cookies or analytics technologies.
• Legal obligations: Complying with applicable laws and lawful requests.

The appropriate legal basis depends on the particular activity and applicable law.

Our website may use essential browser storage or similar technologies needed for core functionality, security, and user preferences.

If non-essential analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies are introduced, we will provide the required information and consent controls where applicable.

Third-party services accessed through our website may use their own cookies or similar technologies under their respective privacy policies.

SkyWorldSMP may offer optional purchases through Tebex.

When you access or complete a purchase through Tebex, Tebex and its payment service providers may process information necessary to handle the transaction.

SkyWorldSMP may receive purchase-related information needed to deliver purchased items or benefits, provide support, and prevent fraudulent transactions.

Payment card details are handled through the applicable checkout and payment services rather than through ordinary Minecraft gameplay systems.

For more information about how Tebex processes personal information, consult the privacy information provided during checkout.

SkyWorldSMP may rely on third-party providers for website hosting, Minecraft server hosting, Discord community features, payment processing, and related technical infrastructure.

These providers may process information as necessary to deliver their services.

In particular:

• Discord: Community communication, support, and optional account linking.
• Tebex: Storefront and purchase-related services.
• Hosting providers: Website and game server infrastructure.

When interacting with these services, their own privacy policies may also apply.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, subject to applicable legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information:

• Gameplay and account records may be retained while the relevant account or server service remains active.
• Temporary verification codes are intended to expire after a limited period.
• Security and moderation records may be retained as necessary to investigate incidents, prevent repeated abuse, or resolve disputes.
• Purchase records may need to be retained for accounting, support, or legal purposes.
• Support communications may be retained until the request is resolved and for an appropriate follow-up period.

When information is no longer needed, we aim to delete or anonymize it where reasonably possible and legally permitted.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, loss, or misuse.

These measures may include access restrictions, account verification, secure authentication mechanisms, and abuse monitoring.

No online service can guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for protecting your own Minecraft and Discord account credentials. SkyWorldSMP staff will never ask you to disclose your account password.

SkyWorldSMP and its service providers may process information in different countries.

Where international transfers are subject to applicable data protection requirements, appropriate safeguards must be used.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information held about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of eligible personal information
• Object to or request restrictions on certain processing activities
• Request data portability where applicable
• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent
• Submit a complaint to a competent data protection authority

Some requests may be limited by legal obligations, security requirements, or the need to protect other users.

To submit a privacy request, contact SkyWorldSMP staff through our official Discord server using Contact Staff.

We may need to verify that you control the relevant account before processing your request.

SkyWorldSMP is a Minecraft gaming community. Players must meet the applicable age requirements of Minecraft, Discord, and any other services they use.

If you believe that personal information has been collected from a child in violation of applicable requirements, please contact our staff through Discord.
