Privacy Policy – Chipped Mod

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Chipped Mod ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit https://chippedmod.com (the "Site"). We respect your privacy and collect only what we need to run the Site, answer your messages and improve our guides. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site.

chippedmod.com is an independent fan resource about the Chipped Minecraft mod. We do not host mod files and we do not require you to create an account to read any page.

Information we collect

We collect two kinds of information:

Information you give us: your name, email address and message when you use the contact form, and your email address when you join the newsletter.
Information collected automatically: IP address (shortened where possible), browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, time spent on pages and approximate location at country or city level.
Cookie data: small files stored by your browser, described in our Cookie Policy.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data, payment details or government ID numbers, and we never ask for your Minecraft account password.

How we use information

To operate, maintain and secure the Site.
To answer questions, corrections and DMCA requests sent through the contact form or email.
To send the newsletter you signed up for, which you can leave at any time.
To understand which guides are useful so we can update and improve content.
To detect and prevent spam, abuse and security incidents.
To show advertising that helps keep the Site free.

Advertising and Google AdSense

The Site may display ads served by Google AdSense and other advertising partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this Site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info. Visitors in the EEA and UK are shown a consent message before personalised ads are used.

Analytics

We use analytics tools to measure traffic in aggregate, such as how many people read a guide and which pages lead to downloads. Analytics data is used only in summary form and is not used to identify individual visitors. You can block analytics cookies in your browser or with an extension without losing access to any content.

Third-party links and downloads

Our download buttons link to GitHub, Modrinth and CurseForge. When you leave the Site, the privacy policy of that platform applies. We do not control and are not responsible for how those sites collect or use your data. We recommend reading their policies before downloading or signing in.

Sharing of information

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share data only in these cases:

With service providers that host the Site, deliver email or provide analytics, under contracts that require them to protect it.
With advertising partners, in the form of cookie identifiers, as described above.
When required by law, court order or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the Site.

Data retention

Contact messages are kept for up to 12 months and then deleted, unless we need them for an ongoing legal matter. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Server logs are kept for up to 90 days for security purposes. Aggregated analytics reports contain no personal data and may be kept longer.

Data security

The Site is served over HTTPS, and we limit access to stored messages to the people who need them to reply. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect your information.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link in any email. Visitors in the EU and UK can read more in our GDPR Policy. California residents may request information about the categories of data collected; we do not sell personal information.

Children's privacy

Minecraft is popular with younger players, but the Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices or the law change. The "Last updated" date below shows the latest version. Significant changes will be highlighted on the Site. Continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised policy.

Contact us

For privacy questions or requests, email [email protected] or write to 418 Harbor Loop, Suite 12, Portland, OR 97209, United States. We aim to reply within two working days.
