This policy is valid for all langrock.info websites and services unless stated otherwise.
Last Update: 04.09.2021

This document aims to inform you about the security and privacy of this site and how much personal data may be collected.
Throughout this privacy policy "personal information" or "personal data" refers to information that may identify you as an individual, such as your name, email address, IP address and other information about you. The mention of third-party sites and services refers to internet services that I do not or only partially have control over.

Security 🛡️

Your connection to langrock.info and it's sub-sites is end-to-end encrypted using HTTPS.
Additionally, the HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) headers are sent on most subdomains to ensure your browser will always use said HTTPS connection.

Data Collection 💾

There are a few reasons why your data might be collected.
Please note that data collection does not mean that you are being tracked across websites, it just refers to the storage and handeling of data you or your browser may send to this site.

Browsing the Website 🌐

When you browse this site, or one of it's sub-sites, your IP address and other information, that your browser sends along with your requests, may be stored in server logs. Logs are used by me to find issues with my sites and services, as well as by third-party services I use for this website and domain.

Engaging with services

When you create a user account or otherwise authenticate yourself (eg: joining my Minecraft server) your personal information, related to your account and all data associated with it, is stored to provide you with the service.
All services, where you may need to authenticate yourself, are hosted in Germany and are fully managed by me. This means that your personal data is protected under German privacy laws and is never going to be shared with third-parties.

Public Data 📖

Not all personal data is considered private. Data that is considered public may be freely available and not protected. Data that is not considered private:

CryptPad: Documents you share can be decrypted by anyone with the access link.

Minecraft server: Public chat messages as well as all interaction with the map are considered public. Your interactions can be seen by anyone on the server and anyone looking at the online map. Furthermore, anyone can download the Minecraft map on the website.
This does not apply to private messages, server logs, player data and server-side processes, because they are not publicly accessible and treated securely.

Analytics and Tracking 👀

Nope, nothing here.
You are not being tracked and your behaviour is not being analyzed. All langrock.info sites and service do NOT share any data with ad networks or other data hungry services.

You might have noticed that there is no cookie pop-up or GDPR banner on here. This is because the above-mentioned cookies, used by my services, are essential for providing the service and are strictly functional. These kinds of essential cookies do not require an annoying banner.
