This covers the Aspera SMP website and store at https://asperamc.com and the Aspera SMP Minecraft server, all operated by Connor Aherne.
What we collect
- When you play: your Minecraft username and UUID, your IP address, and ordinary gameplay data such as playtime, locations, chat and command use. This is what any Minecraft server records in order to run and to moderate itself.
- When you buy: the Minecraft username and UUID that gets the rank, the username of the person who paid if it is a gift, what was bought, the price and payment method, when, an order reference, and a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address, kept only to stop abuse of the checkout.
- When you visit the website: our web server records standard data such as your IP address, browser and the pages requested, kept for a short time for security. The store itself sets no cookies; Stripe and PayPal may use their own cookies on their checkout pages. The vote page remembers which vote sites you opened today in your own browser only.
What we do not collect
We never see or store your payment card details, your PayPal password, or your Minecraft account password. Nobody from Aspera SMP will ever ask for any of them.
What is shown publicly
Buyers' Minecraft usernames and skin heads appear on the store page, on the Lanterns of Aspera Bay and the supporters lists, and the month's top supporter wears the [MVP] tag in game. Amounts paid are never shown. If you would rather not be listed, email us and we will hide your name.
Who else is involved
The store runs on our own server. Payments are handled by Stripe and PayPal, who receive your payment details directly and are responsible for them under their own privacy policies. Bitcoin payments go through our own BTCPay Server. To find the right account, we look up Minecraft usernames with Mojang (and with Geyser for Bedrock players). The website loads its fonts from Google Fonts. The server uses third-party plugins that store gameplay data locally on our own hardware. We do not sell your data to anyone, and we do not use it for advertising.
Why we keep it
To deliver what you bought, to run and moderate the server, to investigate cheating and griefing, and to keep records of sales. Server logs and backups are kept while they are useful for moderation and recovery. Purchase records are kept as long as needed for accounting and dispute handling.
Your choices
You can ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted, by emailing cj.aherne.work@gmail.com. We will do it unless we need to keep something for a legal or accounting reason, and we will tell you if that is the case. Deleting your data means losing any rank attached to your account. If you are in the EU, the UK or California, you have additional statutory rights and this policy is not intended to reduce them.
Children
Aspera SMP is not aimed at children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal data, email cj.aherne.work@gmail.com and we will delete it.
Changes
If this policy changes meaningfully it will be announced in game. The date at the top shows the current version.
