Data Privacy

Comprehensive guidelines for safeguarding data.

We are committed to ensuring that all user data is protected and secure. To achieve this, studios must take proactive steps to safeguard sensitive or potentially malicious data.

How We Represent Sensitive Data 🔗

Sensitive data that should not be shared with the general public is marked with the @SensitiveData annotation on the class, field, argument, or other appropriate location.

What Does This Mean? 🔗

  • No Logging: Sensitive data must not be logged into the console.
  • No Public Display: Sensitive data must not be displayed in Minecraft chat for all players to see.
  • Controlled Access: Access to sensitive data should be restricted to authorized personnel only.
  • Regular Audits: Conduct regular audits to ensure compliance with data protection policies.

Violations of these rules will result in repercussions for your studio, as defined in our Studio End User License Agreement.

Best Practices for Data Protection 🔗

To further ensure data privacy, studios should adhere to the following best practices:

  • Minimize Data Collection: Only collect data that is necessary for your operations.
  • Data Anonymization: Anonymize data whenever possible to protect user identities.
  • Secure Coding Practices: Follow secure coding practices to prevent vulnerabilities.
  • Regular Updates: Keep all systems and software up to date with the latest security patches.
  • Training: Provide regular training for staff on data protection and privacy best practices.

Reporting Data Mishandling 🔗

It is essential that any violation of our data privacy policies be reported to us immediately, whether by the studio responsible or by a player who notices the issue. Prompt reporting allows us to take corrective action, such as removing sensitive data from logs, and remedy the situation.
