Privacy Policy
How XERA INC. handles your information when you use 8b8t services.
Overview
8b8t is an anarchy Minecraft server operated and owned by XERA INC., a company registered and based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you connect to or use our services, including the 8b8t Minecraft servers (Java at 8b8t.me, Bedrock at br.8b8t.me), our website, and related features like account registration, purchases, and in-game authentication.
Our Approach
We are committed to protecting your privacy in line with our anarchy ethos — minimal interference, maximal freedom — while securing the limited data we do collect. We do not log or store player IP addresses in any of our logs or databases.
Information We Collect
We collect only the minimal data necessary to provide the server experience:
- Minecraft Username & Password — We store your username and a hashed/encrypted version of your password, used solely for authenticating you on the server.
- Email Address — Only if voluntarily provided. Used exclusively for 2FA recovery and account-related communications. Never used for marketing or shared with third parties.
- Purchase / Transaction Information — Collected via CraftingStore, PayPal, and/or Stripe when you buy ranks or perks. We do not store full payment card details; all sensitive processing is handled by these providers.
- In-Game Logs — Standard server logs including chat messages, commands, and last recorded player coordinates. Used for server management and investigations in rare cases of disputes.
What We Do Not Collect
- Player IP addresses in logs or databases.
- Any personal identifiers beyond what is listed above.
- Geolocation data, browsing history, device info, or analytics tracking unrelated to core server function.
Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. We do not direct 8b8t or any related services toward children under 13, nor do we encourage users under 13 to join or use the server.
Age Restriction
The server contains mature themes and unrestricted player behavior (including griefing, PvP, and chat). It is intended for players 13 years of age and older. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.
How We Use Your Information
Your data is used only to:
- Authenticate and provide access to the 8b8t server.
- Enable account recovery via email (if provided).
- Process donations and purchases for ranks or perks.
- Maintain server logs for operational stability, debugging, and (in exceptional cases) investigating account-specific issues.
We do not analyze, profile, sell, or share your data for advertising, marketing, or any commercial purposes beyond running the server.
Data Sharing & Third Parties
- Payment data is processed by CraftingStore, PayPal, and/or Stripe, who have their own privacy policies and security standards.
- We do not share your username, password hash, email, or logs with any other third parties except as required by law.
Law Enforcement Compliance
We will only disclose user data to law enforcement or government authorities in response to a valid court order signed by a judge or a properly issued subpoena. We will not comply with informal requests, warrants lacking judicial oversight, or demands from non-judicial entities.
We respond only to valid legal requests from United States or Canadian authorities. Requests from other jurisdictions will generally not be honored unless accompanied by appropriate MLAT processes or equivalent international legal compulsion.
Any disclosure will be limited strictly to what is legally required, and we will only hand over data if the alleged law-breaking is substantiated and the request meets all legal validity requirements.
Your Rights & GDPR
8b8t is operated by a Canadian company (XERA INC.) and does not specifically target or offer services to individuals in the European Union in a way that would trigger extensive GDPR obligations. We do not follow or comply with GDPR data subject requests (such as access, erasure, or portability demands). Any such requests will be ignored.
Security
We take reasonable measures to secure the limited data we hold, including encryption and hashing of passwords, secure database practices, and ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities.
No Guarantees
No system is 100% secure — especially in an anarchy environment where attacks are common. We continuously work to improve protections, including DDoS mitigation and network hardening.
