MineBanish provides custom Minecraft server hosting. This policy explains what we collect, why we use it, and the choices available to you. These pages are public and do not require an account.
Information we collect
We collect information you provide and information needed to operate the service:
- Registration name and email address, plus a password hash. We do not store your password in plaintext.
- Session IP address, user agent, and cookies used for authentication, security, and a reliable session.
- In-progress setup settings in your browser and the required first-setup questionnaire answers you submit.
- Your Minecraft owner name, invited friends' names, server settings, and world files.
- Runtime balance, rewarded-ad transactions, and the user IDs needed to verify those transactions.
Advertising and consent
When rewarded ads are available, Google AdMob and its consent tools (UMP) may process device or advertising identifiers, IP address and approximate region, ad interactions, diagnostics, and consent choices. Watching a rewarded ad is voluntary. You can manage applicable ad privacy choices in the service when they are required.
Google Privacy Policy
How Google uses information from partner services
Other providers
The avatar service mc-heads.net receives the requested Minecraft name and your IP address when your browser loads a player head. For original-account servers, an official Minecraft profile service also receives player names to look up their identifiers at startup. These providers handle information under their own policies.
Hosting providers process data for service delivery, including storing worlds and running servers. MineBanish does not operate a cloud backup service.
How we use information
We use information to create and secure accounts, authenticate sessions, configure and run your server, store and deliver your world, verify rewarded-ad time, provide visual profile previews, respond to support requests, and protect the service from abuse.
Security and connections
Access to account data is restricted by credentials and reasonable operational safeguards. Production web traffic uses HTTPS. The Minecraft game protocol may differ, including when offline-mode settings are enabled, so we do not promise end-to-end encryption for every connection.
We do not store purchase or card details. Runtime is earned when users voluntarily watch rewarded ads.
Retention
We keep account data until you delete your account. Stopped worlds may expire after seven days since last use; download your own world before then if you want to keep a copy. We do not promise cloud backups.
Account deletion
After you confirm account deletion, MineBanish stops your server and deletes stored world and configuration data, then cascades deletion to your user record, authentication sessions, onboarding answers, and ad receipts. Provider-held advertising technical records are outside our database and follow those providers' policies.
Global host or proxy operational logs are not automatically purged per user. Limited technical and security records may remain under host rotation and retention policies; we do not claim a fixed purge period.
Your choices and rights
You can request access, correction, or deletion of your information by contacting contact@minebanish.com. Where consent is required, applicable consent settings are available in the service.
Policy changes
We may update this policy as MineBanish changes. The date above identifies the latest version. Please review this public page periodically.
