Under Ukrainian law, international transfers of personal data are subject to applicable legal requirements concerning the protection of such data.

If the GDPR or another data protection regime applies to the processing, additional safeguards may be required depending on the destination of the data and the circumstances of the transfer.

9. Data Security

We are committed to protecting personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

Depending on the nature of the information and the risks involved, we may use appropriate technical and organizational measures such as:

  • access controls;
  • authentication mechanisms;
  • encryption where appropriate;
  • network and infrastructure security;
  • monitoring and logging;
  • backups;
  • restricted administrative access.

No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. You should also protect your Account credentials and avoid sharing passwords, API keys, access tokens, or other authentication information with third parties.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

The appropriate retention period depends on factors such as:

  • the nature of the information;
  • the purpose for which it was collected;
  • security and operational requirements;
  • legal and regulatory obligations;
  • the need to establish or defend legal claims.

Account data

Account information is generally retained while your Account remains active.

After an Account is deleted, some information may remain temporarily in backups, logs, security records, or other systems before being permanently deleted or anonymized.

Server data and backups

Minecraft Server data is retained for as long as necessary to provide the Services.

Backups may be retained for up to 90 days from the date they are created, unless a longer retention period is required for security, legal, or other legitimate purposes.

After the applicable retention period, backups may be permanently deleted.

Logs and security information

Technical, access, and security logs may be retained for a period reasonably necessary for security, troubleshooting, abuse prevention, legal compliance, and protection of Craft4U.

Where personal data is no longer necessary and there is no legal or legitimate reason to retain it, we may delete or anonymize it.

11. Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your Craft4U Account through the available account-management functionality or by contacting us.

When an Account is deleted, we will take reasonable steps to delete the personal data associated with the Account that we are no longer required or entitled to retain.

Some information may need to be retained for a longer period where required by law or reasonably necessary for:

  • security and fraud prevention;
  • handling abuse reports;
  • resolving disputes;
  • establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims;
  • accounting or other legal obligations.

Data stored in backups may remain until the relevant backup expires or is overwritten in accordance with our retention practices.

12. Your Rights

Depending on the law applicable to you, you may have rights concerning your personal data.

These may include:

  • the right to obtain information about how your personal data is processed;
  • the right to request access to personal data we hold about you;
  • the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances;

  • the right to object to certain processing;
  • the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
  • the right to data portability where applicable;

Under the GDPR, these rights include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, subject to the conditions and exceptions established by the GDPR.

Ukrainian law also provides data subjects with rights concerning their personal data, subject to the conditions and limitations established by law.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests in order to protect your personal data and Account.

If we cannot comply with a request, we will explain the reason where required by applicable law.

14. Children's Privacy

Craft4U does not knowingly collect personal data from children where doing so is prohibited by applicable law.

Our Terms of Service establish the age requirements for using the Services.

[email protected]

We will review the matter and take appropriate action where required.

15. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website or Services may contain links to third-party websites or integrate with third-party services.

Craft4U is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites and services.

Your use of third-party services may be governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

We recommend reviewing those policies before providing personal data to third parties.
