Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how MinecraftSA ("we", "us", "this website") handles information when you visit minecraftsa.co.za. This policy covers the website only. It does not cover the separate Minecraft multiplayer server itself (connected to via a Minecraft game client, not a web browser), which is operated as a community game service and is not part of this website's data collection.
Information We Collect
This website does not have user accounts, sign-ups, or contact forms, so we do not collect information you actively submit. The following limited data is handled automatically:
- Browser local storage: the "Block Runner" game on our homepage saves your high score in your browser's local storage (
localStorage). This value stays on your device and is never transmitted to us or any server. - Standard server and network logs: like virtually all websites, our hosting infrastructure and Cloudflare (our content delivery and security provider) automatically log basic technical information for security and performance purposes, such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested.
- Advertising cookies: see the section below on Google AdSense.
Cookies and Advertising (Google AdSense)
This website uses Google AdSense to display advertising. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance. Google may also use these technologies in accordance with its own privacy policy.
You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services, and manage your ad personalization settings, at:
- Google's Advertising Privacy & Terms
- Google Ads Settings (to opt out of personalized advertising)
- Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out (US visitors)
How We Use Information
Any automatically collected technical data (such as server logs) is used only to operate, secure, and troubleshoot this website. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use the limited data described above for any purpose beyond running the site and displaying advertising through Google AdSense.
Third-Party Links
This site links to third parties, including Google's advertising services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies directly.
Children's Privacy
This website is a general-audience informational page and is not directed specifically at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the details below and we will take appropriate action.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data under laws such as South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Because this website itself collects very little personal data, most of your practical choices relate to advertising — you can manage or opt out of personalized ads using the Google Ads Settings link above, or adjust cookie preferences in your browser at any time. For any other request, contact us using the details below.
Data Security
This site is served over HTTPS, and traffic passes through Cloudflare's network for security and performance. While no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, we take reasonable steps appropriate to a small informational website to protect it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website or applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
