Overcast Network collects and stores information about users in several
different ways:
-
When you
register
your Minecraft account with the website, we require your email address,
for verification purposes.
We store your email address securely in our database, and it is only
visible to our own
Administrators and Developers.
-
On your
account page,
you can enter various details about yourself for display on your
public profile.
Entering this information is entirely optional.
-
Many gameplay events are recorded and used to generate
statistics and rankings,
which are publicly visible on our website.
-
All text sent through in-game chat or private messaging on our servers is
saved indefinitely. Only
Administrators, Developers, and Senior Moderators
have access to these records, which we use to investigate reports of
harassment and other rule violations.
-
The
IP address
you use to connect to our website or game servers is securely stored in
our database. Only
Administrators, Developers, and Senior Moderators
have access to IP address records. They are sometimes used to find
alternate accounts of banned players.
-
When you make a purchase in our
shop,
your payment information is sent directly to
Braintree,
our payment processor. We do not store payment information on our own
servers.
-
All
reports
and
appeals
created through our website are visible to all
Junior Moderators, Moderators, Senior Moderators,
Administrators, and Developers.
Evidence provided with reports may also be revealed to the player being
reported, so that they can defend themselves.
In general, Overcast Network collects user information only for the
purpose of improving our services.
Sensitive information is only visible to our own staff, and only to those
staff who need it to do their job.
We have spent a great deal of effort creating procedures and technical
mechanisms to protect the confidentiality of our users.
