Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 5, 2026

Website accounts and CraftCorps Hardcore — updated 18 October 2026

Website sign-in and staff permissions now use the CraftCorps account service at login.craftcorps.net. We retain old website profiles, content and references and link a profile only after ownership is verified through its old password or unique connected Discord identity. A matching name or email alone is not proof.

For migration, we retain an eligible old bcrypt password hash for up to 90 days from import, deleting it when the profile is claimed or the retention period ends. It does not replace your CraftCorps account password. Unsupported or conflicting profiles stay unclaimed pending review. Contact support for account recovery or coordinated access, export and deletion requests.

The website uses a random session cookie for up to seven days and encrypted server-side credentials; it no longer authenticates using the old website JWT session. The account service has a separate session of up to 30 days. Signing out or revoking that account session invalidates linked website access.

Public text chat on CraftCorps Hardcore is relayed between Minecraft and Discord. Private messages and private voice groups are not relayed. The public map shows terrain and builds. Public messages may be retained by the receiving platforms.

CraftCorps Hardcore chat is automatically translated into each player's language. Public chat, friend direct messages and /helpop requests are sent to Google Cloud Translation for this. Google processes the text on its global infrastructure, does not store it after translating it and does not use it to train models. Type /language translate off in game to stop your messages being sent for translation and to see chat untranslated.

Automatic anticheat suspensions (CraftCorps Hardcore). When several anticheat checks agree that a player is cheating, or when the same cheat pattern shows up again after an automatic warning kick, an automated system can suspend that player for 72 hours. Staff check every suspension within those 72 hours. If they don't confirm it, it ends by itself. Only a staff member can turn it into a longer ban, which lasts at most until the end of the current season and never more than 120 days. These bans are never permanent. An automatic suspension doesn't affect season rewards. A ban confirmed by staff means you can't win season rewards that season. The ban screen shows a ban reference. To appeal, open a Ban appeal ticket on our Discord (discord.craftcorps.net) or email [email protected]. A parent or guardian can do this for you. Legal basis: legitimate interests (keeping the game fair for other players).

Shared connections. An automatic suspension usually also bans the IP address for the same 72 hours, and a ban confirmed by staff can extend that to at most 7 days. Before it does, the server checks whether another account joined from that IP address in the last 30 days, so family members or other players on the same network are not locked out. For this check the server keeps a keyed hash of each login IP address for 30 days, together with the account and the date. It doesn't keep the address itself, and the hash can't be turned back into an address without a secret key that only the server holds. Legal basis: legitimate interests (making sure a ban does not catch players who did nothing wrong). You can ask which dates we hold for your account, or ask for them to be erased, at [email protected].

Linking Minecraft to Discord. You can link your accounts in game with a code, or by signing in with Discord on login.craftcorps.net. If you sign in, Discord sends us your Discord user ID and username, and we show you both accounts and ask you to confirm. If you say yes, we link them and add you to the CraftCorps Discord server. Before linking, we check that neither account is banned on CraftCorps and that the Discord account isn't banned from our Discord server. We use your Discord access only for these steps and don't store it. We keep a record of each request (Minecraft UUID and name, Discord ID and username, and when you confirmed) for 7 days, then delete it. The link stays until you remove it with /unlink. If you claim the reward for linking, the game server keeps your Minecraft UUID and a hash of your Discord ID with no time limit, because each Discord account can claim once. Legal basis: performing the service you asked for, and legitimate interests for the ban check (keeping banned players out) and the one-claim record (keeping the reward fair).

Map icon. The face from your Minecraft skin is stored by your Minecraft UUID on the public map host, so anyone who has your UUID can view it. It shows no position. It stays until your skin is removed or the map is reset.

Retired services — updated 5 November 2026

These CraftCorps services have closed: the SMP server, Battle Royale and our other earlier game servers (event, beta and creative servers and the old lobby network), the Android launcher and the mobile mod, the installer for the official Minecraft launcher, Craft Music and its karaoke Discord bot, CraftCam livestreams, the egg and pearl currencies and wagering, the video contest, and the news section of this website. We no longer collect or use data for any of them.

On 4 and 5 November 2026 we deleted those game servers, their worlds and the databases that held their match statistics, Battle Score and wager records, together with the old coordinator database, Craft Music's data, what remained of CraftCam and the backups of the old SMP worlds. On 5 November 2026 we also deleted the video contest submissions, votes and comments, and the news articles and their comments, from the website database, and the egg and pearl balances and the Android launcher's crash reports and session telemetry from our Azure database. Some records from these services remain:

To get a copy of these records or ask us to erase them, email [email protected]. We may have to keep payment records where the law requires it.
