This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you:

This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites (including game servers, Discord servers, or other links) that you may access through the Service.

3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect information from you in three ways:
(A) information you provide,
(B) information collected automatically,
(C) information from third-party tools used on the Service.

A) Information you provide

Depending on how you use the Service, you may provide:

  • Account information: such as email address, username/display name, and authentication-related data necessary to create and access your account (e.g., password hash or OAuth identifiers, depending on the login method we offer).
  • Server listing content: such as server name, address/IP/domain, website/Discord link, description, tags, and any other information you add to a listing.
  • Support/contact information: if you contact us, we may process the content of your message and relevant identifiers to respond.
  • Purchase-related information (if/when promotions are purchased): billing/contact details needed to provide the service, issue confirmations, and handle refunds/chargebacks where applicable. Payment card data is typically processed by the payment provider, not stored by us.

Important: Please do not submit sensitive personal data (e.g., government IDs, medical information) into listing fields or public areas of the Service.

B) Information collected automatically (technical/usage/security)

When you use the Service, we may automatically collect:

  • Device and browser data: such as browser type, operating system, language, and similar device identifiers.
  • Log data: such as IP address, timestamps, pages viewed, actions taken, referral/exit pages, and error logs.
  • Security signals: information used to protect the Service from spam, abuse, and automated traffic.
  • Session data: information that allows us to maintain and secure your login sessions (see “Cookies” below).

C) Information from third-party tools we use

We use:

  • Cloudflare Turnstile (anti-bot / fraud prevention on forms)
  • Google Analytics 4 (website analytics)
  • Google Tag Manager (tag management system used to deploy and manage analytics and other scripts)

These tools may collect or receive technical identifiers and usage data as described further in Sections 6 and 7.

4. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We use information for the following purposes:

  • To provide and operate the Service (account features, server listings, voting, ranking, and browsing).
  • To authenticate users and maintain secure sessions.
  • To prevent fraud, spam, vote manipulation, and abuse, and to enforce our Terms of Service.
  • To moderate user-generated content and remove prohibited content.
  • To analyze and improve performance, user experience, and features (including via analytics if enabled).
  • To communicate with you about the Service (security notices, confirmations, support responses).
  • To comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

5. LEGAL BASES (EEA/UK AND SIMILAR LAWS)

Where applicable (e.g., in the EEA/UK), we rely on the following legal bases:

  • Contract necessity: to provide the Service you request.
  • Legitimate interests: to secure the Service, prevent abuse, maintain integrity of voting/rankings, and improve the Service.
  • Consent: where required for non-essential cookies/analytics or similar tracking.
  • Legal obligation: where we must keep or disclose information to comply with law.

6. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service.

Key points:

  • We set a session cookie ONLY when you register/log in, to keep you authenticated and identify your active session.
  • We may use analytics cookies if you allow them (where consent is required).
  • Our anti-bot solution may process technical signals and may use strictly necessary cookies/identifiers to protect forms.

For details, see our Cookie Policy.
Some cookies or similar technologies may be set through tools deployed via Google Tag Manager, depending on your consent choices.

7. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES WE USE

A) Cloudflare Turnstile (anti-bot)

We use Cloudflare Turnstile to protect forms from automated abuse. Turnstile evaluates technical signals and risk indicators to help distinguish humans from bots.

B) Google Analytics 4 (analytics)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the Service. Depending on configuration and consent, Google Analytics may use cookies and collect usage data.

C) Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager to manage and deploy scripts and tags on the Service (such as analytics or measurement tools). Google Tag Manager itself does not collect personal data, but it may load third-party services that do, depending on configuration and your consent settings.

8. SHARING AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

We may share information:

  • With service providers who help us operate the Service.
  • With payment providers (if/when promotions are purchased).
  • When required by law or legal process.
  • To protect the rights, safety, and security of the Service and users.

We do not sell personal data in the ordinary commercial sense.

9. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own.

Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions and standard contractual clauses.

10. DATA RETENTION

We retain information only as long as necessary, including:

  • Account data: while the account remains active and for legitimate purposes.
  • Session data: as needed to keep sessions secure.
  • Votes: votes lose validity after 180 days; underlying records may be retained longer for security.
