Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how DARK SPACY collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you use the services at darkspacy.com. It is designed to meet U.S. privacy expectations, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and, where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (CCPA/CPRA) and similar U.S. state privacy laws.
🔒 Important: DARK SPACY does not store or manage passwords. Sign-in uses Microsoft SSO. We only receive basic identification (such as email and account ID) that Microsoft shares after you authorize it.
1. Who We Are
DARK SPACY operates the unofficial private Minecraft server and website at darkspacy.com. For privacy requests, use our contact page.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only what we need to run the Services:
2.1 Information from Microsoft sign-in (SSO)
Sign-in happens on Microsoft’s platform. DARK SPACY never receives your password. After you authorize it, Microsoft may share:
- Minecraft username linked to the Microsoft account;
- Microsoft account email address;
- Microsoft Account ID used to link your profile on the server.
See the Microsoft Privacy Statement for how Microsoft handles your data.
2.2 Purchase information
- Payment details needed to process a store order and send a receipt. Card data is handled by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers or bank credentials.
- Order history, product purchased, and fulfillment status. Store prices are in USD.
2.3 Information collected automatically
- IP address and connection information;
- Website logs (date, time, pages viewed);
- Gameplay data (match statistics, play time);
- Device and browser information (user-agent, language);
- Cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy).

4. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose information only:
- Payment processors: Stripe and similar providers, to complete a transaction;
- Infrastructure providers: hosting and databases that process data on our behalf;
- Microsoft: as needed for SSO;
- Legal reasons: if required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, or security;
- Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger, sale, or similar transaction, subject to this policy.
Service providers may use the information only to perform services for us and must protect it under contract.
5. California and Other U.S. State Rights
If you are a resident of California or another U.S. state with a comprehensive privacy law, you may have the right to:
Know / Access
Ask what personal information we collect and receive a copy
Correct
Ask us to fix inaccurate personal information
Delete
Ask us to delete personal information, subject to legal exceptions
Portability

Opt out of sale / sharing
We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA
Limit sensitive information
Ask us to limit use of sensitive personal information if we collect it
Non-discrimination

Authorized agent
A California resident may use an authorized agent; we may need to verify both you and the agent
Submit a request through the contact page. We will verify your identity (for example, by matching the Microsoft account email used on the Services) and respond within 45 days, or longer if the law allows and we notify you. You may appeal a denial by replying to our decision through the same channel.
6. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including:
- HTTPS/TLS for the website;
- Restricted, role-based access to systems;
- No storage of Microsoft passwords;
- Ongoing monitoring of the Services.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If we become aware of a breach that requires notice under U.S. law, we will notify affected users and regulators as required.
7. Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy, including account operation, security, dispute resolution, and U.S. tax or legal recordkeeping. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it. Purchase records may be retained for several years to meet accounting and fraud-prevention obligations.
8. International Users
The Services are operated from the United States. If you access them from another country, your information may be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country. By using the Services, you understand that your information will be handled in the United States as described in this policy.
9. Children (COPPA)
The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Access requires a Microsoft account. In the United States, Microsoft’s minimum age is 13. See Microsoft’s age documentation. Users under 13 cannot complete SSO and therefore cannot use DARK SPACY.
If you believe we collected information from a child under 13, contact us through the contact page. We will delete that information as required by COPPA.
10. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy. Essential cookies are required to operate the site. You can control other cookies in your browser settings.
11. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page will change. For material changes, we will provide additional notice on the website when reasonably practicable.
12. Contact and Complaints
Privacy questions and requests go through our contact page. Depending on where you live, you may also contact your state attorney general, the California Privacy Protection Agency (for California residents), or the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
