Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide and improve our services to you:

• Account Information: Details you provide when registering (via native signup, or third-party OAuth such as Google or Discord), which includes your email address, username, and basic profile data provided by the authentication service.
• Server & Network Data: Information submitted by server owners, including server IP addresses, ports, description, URLs (Discord, YouTube, Wiki, Maps), and Votifier configuration details (IP, port, public key).
• User Content: Reviews, server screenshots, event information, and other text/media content you submit to AnyServer.pro. If you leave a review as a guest, we may collect your provided Minecraft username.
• Voting & Analytics Data: IP addresses (used for voting fraud prevention, cooldowns, and rate-limiting), Minecraft/Bedrock usernames provided during the voting process, page views, referrers, and browser details.
• API Access Data: For users who request developer API access, we collect and store API usage quotas and associated API keys.

2. How We Use Information

The information we collect is used in the following ways:

• To operate, maintain, and provide the core functionality of the website (e.g., displaying server listings, executing server ping/status checks).
• To securely deliver server votes using the Votifier protocol, which involves securely transmitting your provided Minecraft username to the respective server.
• To secure the platform, enforce rate limits, and prevent abuse (e.g., fraudulent voting or review spam).
• To provide user support, respond to your inquiries, and send essential transactional emails (like verification links or password resets).

3. Cookies & Tracking

We use limited, essential cookies to remember your preferences and maintain your session securely. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some core features of the site (like logging in) may not function properly without them.

4. Data Retention

We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. Vote records linked to IP addresses are periodically cleared as they expire from cooldown periods.

5. Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with trusted third-party service providers (such as hosting, database, and CDN providers like Cloudflare R2) strictly for the purpose of operating our service.

6. AI Training & Aggregation

We may use submitted data (such as server descriptions) to develop and improve machine learning and automation tools for the service. Where possible, data used for these purposes is anonymized or aggregated.

7. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. By using our service, you represent that you are at least 13 years old. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information.
