Welcome to KivotosRailway (hereinafter referred to as KR Minecraft)! We fully recognize the importance of player privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information throughout your joining and gameplay experience on our server. This Privacy Policy is intended to clearly explain how we collect, use, store, and protect your information.

1. Information Collection

When you connect to the KR Minecraft server, we collect the following information to provide stable game services, maintain server security, and implement core gameplay features:

  • Minecraft In-Game Information:
    • Your Minecraft Username (ID): This is your displayed name on the server. We use it to record your affiliated team and your contributions to the rail transit network.
    • Your Minecraft UUID: This is the primary identifier for your identity on the server. We use it to track your game progress and permissions.
    • In-Game Behavior Data: To support the core gameplay of city and transit construction, the server records in-game actions related to building and management. This includes, but is not limited to: block placement/destruction locations (especially tracks, stations, and architectural structures), commands used, projects participated in, and interaction records with other players (in-game). This data is used to maintain world states, prevent griefing, resolve disputes, and compile statistics on urban development achievements.
    • Server Chat Logs: The server logs public chat, team channels, and direct messages (if supported) to maintain community order, address rule violations, and provide support.
  • Connection Information:
    • Your IP Address: When you connect to the server, the system temporarily logs your IP address. This information is primarily used to:
      • Prevent abuse and malicious activities (such as DDoS attacks, item duplication, and automated scripts/bots).
      • Enforce server security policies and anti-cheat mechanisms.
      • Conduct investigations in the event of a security incident.
      • Please Note: We do not use your IP address for user profiling, ad tracking, or share it with third parties (except as required by law). After a connection session ends, the IP address is typically stored linked with your Minecraft username for a period of time for security auditing purposes, but raw connection logs are not permanently retained.

2. Information Usage

We use the collected information strictly for the following purposes:

  • Providing and Maintaining Core Game Services: Ensuring smooth server connections and enabling your participation in game activities such as urban planning and transit network construction/management.
  • Enforcing Server Rules: Maintaining a fair and safe gaming environment, as well as handling cheating, griefing, harassment, and other violations.
  • Improving Gameplay Experience: Analyzing anonymized game data (such as popular construction areas and frequently used tools) to optimize server performance, balance game mechanics, and develop new features.
  • Community Management and Communication: Sending important server updates, maintenance notices, or event information via in-game announcements, the official website, or contact details provided by you (such as email).
  • Security and Compliance: Protecting the server, other players, and ourselves from cyber threats, and complying with applicable laws and regulations.

3. Information Storage and Security

  • Storage Location: Your information is primarily stored on our servers located in Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province, People's Republic of China.
  • Retention Period: We retain your information only for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes outlined in this policy, depending on the data type and purpose of collection. For example:
    • Game progress and construction data are retained until your account is deleted or data is reasonably cleared.
    • Security-related logs (such as IP records) are typically retained for 90 days, unless needed for an active investigation.
    • Chat logs are retained for a specific cycle based on server policy.
  • Security Measures: We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard your information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction. These measures include server firewalls, access controls, and regular security audits. However, please note that no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We promise not to sell, trade, or rent your personal information to any third parties. However, we may disclose your information under the following circumstances:

  • With Your Consent: When we have obtained your explicit consent.
  • Legal Requirements: To comply with applicable laws and regulations, or to respond to lawful requests from governmental or judicial authorities (such as subpoenas or court orders).
  • Protection of Rights and Safety: To protect the legal rights, property, or safety of KR Minecraft, our players, staff, or the public from harm.
  • Service Providers: We may partner with third-party service providers (such as server hosts and data analytics tools) who strictly comply with this Privacy Policy. They process information solely for designated purposes and are bound by confidentiality obligations.

5. Your Rights

Subject to applicable data protection laws (where relevant), you may hold the following rights:

  • Right of Access: The right to request access to the personal information we hold about you.
  • Right to Rectification: The right to request correction of inaccurate personal information.
  • Right to Erasure: The right to request the deletion of your personal information under certain conditions (e.g., when data is no longer necessary or consent is withdrawn).

6. Children's Privacy

  • Age Limitations and Notice: We explicitly state that our server services are directed toward users who have reached the legal age limit. We advise children under 18 to participate in gameplay under the guidance and supervision of a parent or guardian.
  • No Intentional Collection: We do not intentionally design features to solicit or collect personal information from children under the legal age requirement.
  • Parental/Guardian Support: If a guardian discovers that a child has provided information without consent or has encountered issues on the server (such as inappropriate content or cyberbullying), we encourage the guardian to contact us immediately via the methods below.
  • Prompt Response and Action: Upon receiving requests or complaints regarding minors' data from guardians, we will prioritize handling them and take necessary actions within a reasonable timeframe, including but not limited to: deleting relevant personal data, restricting account permissions, and investigating or disciplining involved players.
