Privacy Policy
LAST UPDATED: 8 OCTOBER 2026
This policy explains what personal data we process when you visit octryx.de and when you play on the Octryx FFA Minecraft server, why we do it, how long we keep it, and what rights you have. It applies under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and German law.
The short version
- The website sets no cookies, runs no analytics, ads or tracking, and loads nothing from third parties until you click an external link.
- On the game server we process your Minecraft name, UUID, IP address, chat and gameplay stats to run the server, moderate it and show the leaderboard.
- We don't sell your data, don't use it for advertising, and don't use it to train AI or machine-learning models.
- You can ask for a copy of your data or have it deleted at any time (see Your rights).
1. Contact
For anything about your data, contact the Octryx team on Discord: discord.gg/octryx (open a ticket).
We are not required to appoint a data protection officer.
2. When you visit octryx.de
Hosting and delivery
The website is hosted and delivered by Cloudflare (Workers hosting, DNS, content delivery and protection against attacks). To deliver a page, their servers necessarily process your IP address, the date and time, the page requested, your browser's user agent and the referring page. They may keep this in short-lived server logs for security and troubleshooting. We don't combine this with other data and don't use it to identify you.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is delivering the website securely and reliably.
Cookies, local storage and tracking
The website does not set cookies, does not use local storage, and does not use analytics, tracking pixels, advertising, embedded videos, social media plugins or third-party fonts. Fonts come from your own device. This is why there is no cookie banner: there is nothing to consent to.
Cloudflare may set a strictly necessary security cookie (for example __cf_bm) to tell humans from bots. Such cookies are
exempt from consent under § 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG because they are needed to provide the service you requested.
External links
Links to Discord, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, our sponsor EMTweaks and qdran are plain links. Nothing is loaded from those sites until you click one. After that, the respective provider's privacy policy applies.
3. When you play on the Octryx FFA server
| Data | Why | Legal basis | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minecraft username and UUID | Identify your account, let you join, apply ranks, bans and the whitelist | Art. 6(1)(b) | As long as you play. Ban and whitelist entries until removed |
| IP address | Connect you to the server, protect against attacks and ban evasion | Art. 6(1)(f) | Server logs 14 days |
| Chat messages and commands | Moderation and handling reports | Art. 6(1)(f) | Server logs 14 days |
| Gameplay stats: kills, deaths, current and best killstreak, K/D | FFA stats and leaderboards | Art. 6(1)(b) | Until a season reset or until you ask us to delete them |
| Sword tier from MCTiers and PvPTiers | Show your tier tag and decide access during the closed beta | Art. 6(1)(f) | As long as you play. Refreshed about every 6 hours while you're online |
Public leaderboard
The top players' Minecraft usernames and stats are shown on the in-game leaderboards. Only valid Minecraft names and numbers are published, nothing else. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is offering a competitive ranking. You can object at any time (Art. 21 GDPR), and we will remove you from the leaderboards.
Tier lookups and automatic whitelist
When you join, and about every 6 hours while you're online, the server sends your UUID to MCTiers and PvPTiers to read your publicly listed sword tier. During the closed beta, players with tier LT3 or better on either site are added to the whitelist automatically. Others are told they don't meet the requirement. This check is automated, but it only decides access to a free game server and has no legal or similarly significant effect on you. If you think it got it wrong, contact us and a person will look at it.
Login verification
Like every online-mode Minecraft server, the server checks with Mojang/Microsoft that your account is genuine when you log in. Microsoft's privacy statement applies to that check.
4. Service providers and other recipients
These processors handle personal data on our behalf, under data processing terms:
| Provider | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare, Inc. | Website hosting, DNS, content delivery, attack protection | USA / global network |
These are independent recipients, not processors. Each is responsible for its own processing:
- MCTiers and PvPTiers: receive your UUID for tier lookups (see above).
- Mojang / Microsoft: login verification.
- Discord: if you join our Discord server, Discord's privacy policy applies.
Transfers outside the EU: Cloudflare is a US company. Transfers to the USA rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified, and otherwise on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR).
5. No selling, no advertising, no AI training
We do not sell personal data, do not share it for advertising, do not build advertising profiles, and do not use personal data, chat messages or gameplay data to train artificial intelligence or machine-learning models, and we don't let anyone else do so.
6. Your rights
You have the right to:
- Access your data and get a copy (Art. 15). In game,
/octryxstats datashows the stats we store about you. We can send you a full export as a file. - Rectification of incorrect data (Art. 16).
- Erasure (Art. 17). We delete your stats, remove you from all leaderboards, and remove your tier group, whitelist entry and other stored data, unless we must keep something, for example an active ban to prevent ban evasion.
- Restriction of processing (Art. 18).
- Data portability (Art. 20), as a machine-readable JSON file.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21), for example to being shown on the public leaderboard.
- Lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77), for example the one where you live.
How to use them: open a ticket on our Discord with your Minecraft username. We may ask you to prove the account is yours, for example by typing a code in game. We answer within one month.
7. Children
Many Minecraft players are young. We collect only what's needed to run the server and do not rely on consent for it. If you are a parent or guardian and want your child's data deleted, contact us as described above.
8. Security
The website is served only over HTTPS with a strict Content Security Policy. Game server data is stored on the server and is accessible only to the server staff who need it.
9. Changes
We update this policy when what we do changes. The date at the top shows the latest version. We announce important changes on our Discord.
