What we keep.

Drifter is responsible for your data. Questions and requests: [email protected].

When you join the server we get your Minecraft username, account ID (UUID) and IP address, and we see what you do in game: chat, commands, what you build and break, your inventory, homes and deaths. The anticheat records how you move and fight.

We use it to run the server, keep it standing against cheats, crashes and lag machines, and hand out ranks and vote rewards. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in running the server (GDPR art. 6(1)(f)).

Anticheat sessions: 90 days. Anticheat flags: one year. Your player data (inventory, homes, settings, last IP address): as long as the world exists. Which days you joined, and when you first did, to count our players: as long as the world exists too. Public chat: 30 days.

Your name, the game's statistics about you (deaths, kills, distances, what you mined, farmed, crafted and used; never time played or times you quit) and your advancements are public: on your profile under /players and on the leaderboards, updated on the hour so they never show whether you're online. They stay as long as the world does.

The store looks up the username you type with Mojang to get the account's UUID. For each purchase we keep that UUID and username, the rank, the price and Stripe's reference to the payment or subscription. Stripe takes the payment on its own page and collects your email address and card details there. We never see your card.

We use it to deliver the rank, keep it in step with your subscription, and keep the records tax law asks for. Legal basis: the contract with you (art. 6(1)(b)) and our legal obligations (art. 6(1)(c)). Kept for as long as tax and accounting law requires. Stripe keeps its own records under its privacy policy.

When you vote on a server list, the list sends us your username, the IP address it saw you vote from, and the time. The lists have their own privacy policies.

We use it to count votes, show the month's top voters, give vote rewards and catch reward fraud. The top voters are public, and anyone can look up a player's vote times by name on /vote. Legal basis: our legitimate interest (art. 6(1)(f)). Votes are kept with no set end date: they are the record of which rewards went to whom. Ask and we delete yours.

Every vote from a listed site is a crate. When you open one, we keep which account opened it, when, what it gave and when it reached you in game, for as long as the votes.

drifter.lol runs behind Cloudflare, which handles every request, sees your IP address and may set a cookie to stop attacks. Player heads on the store and vote pages load from mc-heads.net, which sees your IP address like any site you load an image from. The site sets one cookie of its own, and only if you log in to your crates with the link /crates gives you in game: it keeps you logged in on the vote page, where crates are opened, for 30 days. It keeps no log of visits and runs no analytics.

Stripe (payments), Cloudflare (the network in front of the site), Mojang and Microsoft (the username you type at checkout), mc-heads.net (player heads) and Google (some public chat, with players' names taken out, goes to its Gemini API, which writes part of the chat on the server). Backups of the server and the store are kept for up to eight weeks. Nobody buys data from us, and we share none for advertising.

Stripe, Cloudflare, Microsoft and Google may process data in the United States. Those transfers rely on the safeguards EU law provides, such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.

You can ask for a copy of your data, to correct it, to delete it, to limit or object to how we use it, or to get it in a portable format. Email [email protected] with your Minecraft username. We may ask you to prove the account is yours, and we answer within a month. Deleting data can't remove purchase records tax law makes us keep.

If you think we got it wrong, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live.

When what we keep changes, this page changes. The date at the top says when.
