Privacy Policy

What this site collects, why it needs it, and the fairly long list of things it does not do.

Last updated 8 August 2026


The short version

Signing in tells us your Discord user ID, username and avatar, and nothing else. We use it to know which listings are yours. If you leave the "Join our Discord" box ticked, we also add you to our Discord server — untick it and we will not. There are no analytics, no advertising tags, and no third-party scripts on this site.

What we collect when you sign in

Signing in uses Discord OAuth with two scopes: "identify" and "guilds.join". Identify returns your Discord user ID, username, display name and avatar. It does not return your email address, and it does not return a list of the servers you are in.

The "guilds.join" scope lets us add you to our own Discord server, and nothing else — it cannot read anything, and it cannot add you anywhere but here. Discord shows it on its own consent screen as "Join servers for you" before you approve it, and the checkbox next to the sign-in button decides whether we use it at all. Unticking that box means we never call it. Either way you can leave the server at any time.

We store your Discord user ID against any listing you submit, so we can show you your own listings and confirm you are allowed to edit them.

What we collect about servers

For every listed server we store what you submitted — address, name, description, gamemodes and features — and what the server broadcasts publicly when we ping it: whether it is online, its player count, the version it accepts, its MOTD and its icon.

Server icons are stored once per unique image and shared between every server using it, rather than copied onto each listing.

A status ping is the same public request any Minecraft client makes before showing a server in its list. It reveals nothing that is not already published to anyone who types the address.

Cookies

One cookie holds your sign-in session, and a second protects the sign-in form against cross-site request forgery. A third records, for ten minutes, whether you ticked the box to join our Discord — it exists only because that choice has to survive the round trip to Discord and back. All three are strictly necessary and are set only once you choose to sign in.

There are no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, which is why this site has no cookie banner — there is nothing to ask you to consent to.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell or rent anything about you.
  • We do not run analytics, heatmaps, session recording or advertising tags.
  • We do not read your email address, because we never ask Discord for it.
  • We do not read which other Discord servers you are in — joining ours is a write, not a read.
  • We do not track you across other sites.

Who else sees it

Approved listings are published on this site and as posts in our Discord directory, so everything in a listing is public by design. Your Discord user ID is stored with it but is not displayed publicly.

Submissions are reviewed by staff in a private Discord channel, which means the reviewing staff see your submission and which account sent it.

The site and its database run on a server we rent. No listing or account data is shared with any other company.

How long we keep it

Listings are kept while they exist. Deleting a listing removes it and its stats. Signing out ends your session; if you never submit a listing, signing out leaves nothing of yours behind.

Ask us to delete your data and we will remove your listings and the Discord ID attached to them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live you may have the right to see what we hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted. Since what we hold is your Discord ID and your listings, all three are quick. Ask in our Discord and we will action it.

Children

Discord requires its users to be at least 13, or older where local law says so. Since signing in requires a Discord account, the same floor applies here.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects what we collect, the date at the top changes and the change is announced in our Discord.

This policy describes what the software actually does today, written from the code rather than from a template. It is not legal advice, and it has not been reviewed by a lawyer — if you are relying on it for compliance in a specific jurisdiction, have someone qualified read it first.
