What we collect
Playing on the server. Your Minecraft username and UUID, your IP address, and the things you do in game: playtime, progression, chat messages, commands, purchases, and moderation history. This is what running a Minecraft server involves; without it the game cannot save your progress or enforce its rules.
Linking Discord. If you run /link, we store the connection between your Minecraft account and your Discord user ID.
Visiting the website. Standard request logs kept by our host, Cloudflare, including IP address and browser user agent. We do not run advertising or third-party analytics trackers on ancients.gg.
Where it is stored
Gameplay data lives on our own server. Website records live in Cloudflare's storage.
What we use it for
Running the game, saving your progress, preventing cheating and ban evasion, and answering your support tickets.
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with advertisers. We share it only where we have to: with the services that host the server and website, or where the law requires it.
Footage sent in before 10 November 2026
The footage upload page closed on 10 November 2026. Recordings players sent before then are kept as edit material and may still appear in Ancients videos, credited by Minecraft username, under the terms agreed at upload. Ask and we will delete the raw file and drop your credit.
How long we keep it
Gameplay and account data is kept while the server operates. Some records, bans and moderation history in particular, are kept after an account stops playing, because they exist precisely to survive someone leaving and coming back.
Removing your data
Ask, and we will remove what we reasonably can. Open a ticket in the Discord or email playancients@gmail.com from an address we can tie to your account.
Two honest limits. Footage already published in a video cannot be pulled back out of it, though we will take the raw file down and drop your credit on request. And moderation records tied to an active ban are not deleted on request, since removing them would defeat their purpose.
Age
Ancients is not aimed at children under 13. If you are under 13, or under the age at which you can agree to this on your own where you live, please ask a parent or guardian before you play. If we learn we are holding a young child's personal data without that permission, we will delete it.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will say so in the Discord rather than quietly editing the page. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
