Privacy policy
Last updated 15 September 2026. This policy explains what information MinecraftSA (“we”, “us”) collects when you use minecraftsa.co.za and how it is used.
Who we are
MinecraftSA is an independent guide website operated from South Africa. You can contact us at [email protected]. We process personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA) and, for visitors in the EU/UK, the GDPR.
Information we collect
Information you give us
If you use the contact form we receive your name, email address and message. We use these only to reply to you and keep them for as long as needed to deal with your query.
Information collected automatically
Our web server and Cloudflare, our content delivery network, record standard access logs: IP address, browser type, the pages requested, referring page and timestamp. These are used for security, to diagnose faults and to understand aggregate traffic. Logs are retained for a limited period and are not used to identify individuals.
Local storage
The site stores a single value in your browser’s local storage to remember that you dismissed the cookie notice. Tools on this site run entirely in your browser and do not send what you type to our server.
Advertising and cookies
We use Google AdSense to display advertising. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads, measure their performance and, where you have consented or where permitted, to personalise ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of many third-party vendors’ cookies at aboutads.info.
More detail on how Google uses data from sites that use its services is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Visitors in regions where consent is required for personalised advertising are shown a consent message; you can change your choice at any time via the link at the bottom of the page or by clearing your browser cookies.
Analytics
We use aggregate traffic reporting to understand which guides are read. Where analytics tools are used, IP addresses are anonymised and no attempt is made to identify individual visitors.
Links to other sites
Guides link to official stores, software downloads and other resources. Those sites have their own privacy policies and we are not responsible for them.
Children
This site is a general-audience reference. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; if you believe a child has sent us personal information via the contact form, email us and we will delete it.
Your rights
You may ask what personal information we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or object to its processing, by emailing [email protected]. You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa).
Changes
We will update this page when our practices change and revise the date at the top.
