Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 2026. This policy covers the website hyadesmc.net. It does not cover the Minecraft server or the Discord server; those have their own rules, shown when you join.
1. Who is responsible
The controller under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Tom Stieh, Achterndiek 8, 22869 Schenefeld, Germany, support@hyadesmc.net. Hyades is a hobby project of a private person; no data protection officer has been appointed because the legal requirements (Art. 37 GDPR, § 38 BDSG) are not met.
2. In short
- No cookies, no tracking, no analytics, no ads.
- Nothing is loaded from other companies: fonts and images come from this server.
- The only data processed is what every web server sees when you open a page, and it is deleted after a few days.
3. Hosting and server logs
This website runs on a server rented from Hetzner Online GmbH (Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany) in a data centre in Finland, under a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR). When you open a page, the reverse proxy in front of the site records your IP address, the date and time, the page requested, the response size and status, the referring page and your browser’s user agent.
These logs are used only to run the site and to keep it secure, for example to automatically block addresses that scan for vulnerabilities. They are rotated daily and deleted after at most eight days. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is a working and secure website.
4. Copying the server address
The “Copy IP” button only puts the text “hyadesmc.net” into your clipboard, inside your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
5. Links to Discord
The Discord buttons are plain links. Nothing from Discord is loaded on this site. Only when you click one does your browser go to Discord, and from then on Discord’s privacy policy applies: discord.com/privacy.
6. Your rights
You have the right to access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18) and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR). Write to support@hyadesmc.net. You can also complain to a supervisory authority, for example the one where you live or the one responsible for me: Unabhängiges Landeszentrum für Datenschutz Schleswig-Holstein, Holstenstraße 98, 24103 Kiel.
