What Grounds stores about you and why.
Who is responsible
Scelus Development, Lukas Jost, Kölner Straße 13, 28844 Weyhe, Germany. You can reach us at hi@grounds.gg for anything in this policy.
Signing in with Minecraft
You sign in through Microsoft, the same way the Minecraft launcher does it. Microsoft tells us your Minecraft username and UUID, or your Xbox gamertag for Bedrock-only accounts. We never see your password or your Microsoft email address.
What we store
Your Minecraft username and UUID, your settings on this site and in game, your match stats and tournament results, and what you post on the forum. Server logs keep IP addresses for up to 14 days to keep the network safe.
Why we store it
To run your account and the network (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), and to protect the network against abuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We don't sell data and don't use it for advertising.
Cookies
One cookie keeps you signed in. It is strictly necessary and set only when you sign in. There are no tracking or advertising cookies.
Your rights
You can see, download, correct and delete your data from your account page, or ask us by email. You also have the right to object to processing and to complain to a data protection authority.
How long we keep it
As long as your account exists. When you delete it, your profile, settings and stats are removed within 30 days. Forum posts are anonymised rather than removed, so threads stay readable.
