Privacy Policy

Effective date: 22 April 2026 · Last updated: 22 April 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Elkonia (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information in connection with the Elkonia website at elkonia.com, the Elkonia Minecraft server, our Discord community, and any related applications or services (together, the “Services”). By using the Services you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information we collect

We collect the minimum information needed to operate the Services.

Information you provide directly

• Account and identity: Minecraft username, Discord username / user ID, and any optional profile data you submit (for example through an application form).
• In-game and community activity: chat messages, quest completions, faction and guild membership, and content you submit to the server (builds, lore, etc.).
• Communications: messages you send to us directly, including support requests, applications, and feedback.

Information collected automatically

• Connection data: IP address, approximate location derived from IP, device type, browser, and operating system.
• Usage data: pages visited, time on page, referral source, and gameplay events generated by the server (logins, deaths, quest state changes).
• Logs: server and application logs for diagnostics, abuse prevention, and service integrity.

Information from third parties

• Platform integrations: when you connect a third-party account (such as Discord, TikTok, or YouTube) we receive the fields that platform exposes under your authorization — typically a public identifier, display name, avatar, and scopes you approve.

2. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Services, including the Minecraft server, website, and community features;
• Authenticate users and protect accounts;
• Personalize in-game content such as quests, factions, and narrative events;
• Publish community-generated chronicles to channels you have authorized (e.g. Discord, TikTok, YouTube);
• Communicate with you about updates, applications, events, and policy changes;
• Detect, prevent, and respond to abuse, fraud, and security incidents;
• Comply with legal obligations.

3. How we share information

We do not sell personal information. We share information only in the following situations:

• Service providers: infrastructure, hosting, analytics, and communication vendors acting on our behalf under written contracts.
• Third-party platforms you authorize: content you choose to publish or cross-post is shared with the destination platform (for example, posting a chronicle video to your TikTok account).
• Legal reasons: to comply with law, enforce our Terms of Service, protect rights and safety, or respond to lawful requests from public authorities.
• Business transfers: if the Services are transferred or merged, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.

4. Third-party services (including TikTok)

The Services integrate with third-party platforms for authentication, community, and publishing features. These integrations include, without limitation, Discord, TikTok, YouTube, Google services, and the Minecraft authentication system. When you use these integrations:

• You authorize us to send or receive specific data fields on your behalf, limited to the scopes you approve;
• The third-party platform’s own privacy policy governs its processing of your data on its systems;
• You can revoke our access at any time from the third-party platform’s app / connection settings.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

The website uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and measure aggregate traffic. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings; parts of the site may not work without them. We do not use cross-site advertising trackers.

6. Data retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the Services and for reasonable backup, audit, legal, and abuse-prevention purposes. Specific retention windows:

• Account and profile data: kept for the life of your account, plus up to 12 months after deletion for backup and dispute-resolution purposes.
• Server logs: typically 30–90 days, longer where required for security investigations.
• Chronicles and community content: kept indefinitely as part of the public community record unless you request removal.

7. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you;
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Delete personal information;
• Object to or restrict certain processing;
• Request a portable copy of your information;
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in the Contact section. We will respond within a reasonable period and in line with applicable law.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect personal information, including access controls, encrypted transport (HTTPS), and isolated credentials for third-party integrations. No method of transmission or storage is 100 % secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children’s privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. International users

The Services are operated from the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate, which may have different data-protection rules than your country.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, for material changes, provide a more prominent notice (for example via our website or Discord community). Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
