Privacy Policy

Data Protection & Usage
Last Updated: Oct 22, 2026

At BD ZONE ("we", "us", "our"), protecting your privacy is a priority. This policy outlines exactly what data we collect from you when you play on our Minecraft Server or use our Webstore, and how we use it to improve your experience and ensure fair play.

1. Information We Collect

We collect data from two main sources: your interaction with our Game Server and your use of our Webstore.

Website & Store Data
  • Email Address: For purchase receipts and account auth.
  • Payment Data: Transaction IDs (we do not process cards directly).
  • Browser Data: IP address, cookies for login sessions.
  • Discord ID: If you link your account.
In-Game Server Data
  • Minecraft Username & UUID: To identify your player profile.
  • IP Address: Logged for security and ban evasion checks.
  • Chat Logs: Public chat and messages are logged for moderation.
  • Command Usage: We log commands for debugging and security.

2. Chat Logs & Moderation

To maintain a safe environment for all players, we retain logs of text chat, command usage, and gameplay interactions. These logs are:

  • Confidential: Only accessible by authorized staff members (Admins/Moderators).
  • Used for Evidence: To investigate reports of harassment, griefing, hacking, or other rule violations.
  • Retention: Logs may be kept indefinitely to track repeat offenders.

3. Cookies & Cookie Consent

When you visit our website, a Cookie Consent banner appears asking for your permission before any non-essential cookies are set. Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage under the key bdzone_cookie_consent and is remembered for future visits.

Cookie Categories

Functional (Always On)Required

Essential cookies that keep the site working correctly. These cannot be disabled. They include login session tokens, shopping cart data, theme preference, and security tokens (Cloudflare Turnstile).

Analytics (Optional)Your Choice

Help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. Data is aggregated and anonymous. We may use Google Analytics for this purpose.

Advertising (Optional)Your Choice

Used to display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out at google.com/settings/ads.

Changing Your Preferences

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site, or using your browser's built-in cookie controls. On most browsers: Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data → Cookies and site data.

4. How We Use Data

Service Delivery

To automatically process your payments and grant in-game ranks/items via our plugin system.

Security & Safety

We use IP addresses to identify and block alternate accounts of banned players (Ban Evasion).

5. Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. However, we share necessary data with trusted partners to operate the server:

  • Payment Processors: (e.g., Stripe, Paypal, Mobile Banking) to handle secure transactions.
  • Discord: If you link your account, we sync your roles with our Discord server.
  • Google AdSense: If you accept advertising cookies, Google may collect data to serve personalised ads. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Google Analytics: If you accept analytics cookies, aggregated usage data is shared with Google to help us improve the site.

6. Data Privacy Contact

If you wish to request deletion of your Webstore account data, please contact us. Note that we cannot delete in-game punishment history or public chat logs in accordance with our legitimate interest in server safety.

By playing on BD ZONE, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to update this policy as server features evolve.
