Privacy policy
Last updated: 4 November 2026
This policy explains how we process your personal data under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and the Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights (LOPDGDD). We only ask for the data the platform needs to work.
The Spanish version of this policy is the legally binding one; this English version is provided for convenience.

2. What data we process, why and on what legal basis
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis (art. 6 GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Email, username and password (stored hashed with bcrypt; we never know it) | Creating and managing your account, logging in and sending you the verification code | Performance of a contract (6.1.b) |
| Profile photo, banner and the content you publish (builds, images, descriptions, tags) | Showing your profile and your posts to the community | Performance of a contract (6.1.b) |
| Review messages, moderation decisions and notifications | Reviewing posts, communicating decisions and handling notices of illegal content | Performance of a contract (6.1.b) and legal obligation under the Digital Services Act (6.1.c) |
| IP address (kept in memory for minutes) and an encrypted identifier derived from it | Preventing abuse (limits on attempts and uploads) and counting unique visits without storing your IP in clear | Legitimate interest in the security of the service (6.1.f) |
| If you log in with Discord or Google: your account identifier on that service, your email and your display name | Creating or linking your account and letting you log in without a password. We don't access your contacts, messages, servers or any other data, and we never post on your behalf | Performance of a contract (6.1.b) |
| Two-step verification (encrypted key for your authenticator app and encrypted recovery codes) | Protecting your account if you turn this option on | Performance of a contract (6.1.b) |
| Bio, profile links, comments, ratings, followers, collections and reports | Community features and content moderation | Performance of a contract (6.1.b) |
| Email notice preferences | Only emailing you the notices you have turned on (security and account suspension notices are always sent) | Consent (6.1.a) for optional notices; performance of a contract (6.1.b) for account notices |
| Likes, saves and downloads | Showing statistics to authors and your saved builds | Performance of a contract (6.1.b) |
3. How long we keep data
- Your account data and posts, for as long as your account is active.
- If you delete your account, your profile, posts and files are deleted immediately. They may remain in backups for up to 30 days, after which they are overwritten.
- Verification codes expire after 15 minutes.
- If we suspend an account, we keep the data strictly needed to prevent it from registering again and to handle any claims, for the limitation period of legal actions.
4. Who we share data with
We don't sell your data or use it for advertising. Only these providers are involved, as data processors:
- Hosting: Contabo GmbH (Alemania), where the platform runs and the database and files are stored.
- Resend (Resend, Inc., USA), to send verification and notice emails. It only receives your email and the message. The international transfer is covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.
- GitHub (raw.githubusercontent.com): your browser downloads the Minecraft textures and models for the 3D viewer from there, so GitHub receives your IP address when it does. They are cached in your browser so they aren't requested again.
- Discord (Discord Inc., USA) and Google (Google LLC, USA), only if you choose to log in with them. They send us your identifier, email and display name (basic «identify/email» and «openid/email/profile» scopes). Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You can unlink these accounts in Settings and revoke access from your Discord or Google account.
- Discord also receives, in the team's private channels, internal moderation notices (usernames, post titles, report and suspension reasons) and technical error alerts.
- Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., USA): protects and speeds up the site (CDN) and, through Turnstile, checks that you aren't a bot when signing up, logging in or recovering your account. It receives your IP and technical browser data; it doesn't use advertising cookies.
What you publish (username, profile and approved builds) is visible to any visitor. Your email is never shown.
5. Your rights
You can exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing and portability by writing to [email protected] from your account's email. We will reply within one month.
- You can correct your email, public name, photo and password from Settings.
- You can delete your account and all your content from Settings → Delete account.
- You can download a copy of your data in JSON format from Settings → Your data (portability).
- You can turn email notices on or off from Settings → Email notices.
If you believe we haven't handled your request properly, you can lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es) or the supervisory authority of your country.
6. Minors
The platform isn't aimed at children under 14, who can't sign up (art. 7 LOPDGDD). If we detect an account belonging to a child under that age, we will delete it. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has signed up, write to us at [email protected].
7. Security
We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures: encrypted connection (HTTPS), passwords hashed with bcrypt, optional two-step verification (mandatory for the moderation team), signed sessions that are revoked when an account is suspended, limits against brute-force attacks, validation of every uploaded file and restricted access to data by the moderation team, who can't see your email.
9. Changes to this policy
If we make significant changes to this policy, we will let you know on LitematicaWeb or by email before they take effect.
