Privacy Notice

The bot connects the Minecraft server to Discord. It reads server logs to pick up deaths, advancements, chat, and join/leave events, then posts them.

• Death announcements: Posted publicly to Discord when someone dies (name and cause). This is an intentional gameplay feature, not hidden tracking. Public
• Death coordinates: The bot quietly grabs the exact XYZ and DMs them to the host — useful for confirming a death location or investigating suspicious circumstances. Not broadcast anywhere. Host only
• Chat: In-game chat gets relayed to a restricted Discord channel so staff can review it for rule violations or harassment reports without being in-game. Host only
• Raw log access: The full Minecraft server log (everything the server prints: connections, errors, commands, etc.) stays on the server machine and is only readable by the host. Host only

CHRON0 logs block interactions on the survival server. It tracks what was broken, placed, or opened, by who, and when. Used for grief rollbacks, settling disputes, and tracking items after a death.

• What it logs: Block breaks, placements, container opens, item drops
• Retention: Indefinite (subject to change)
• Who can query it: Staff use CHRON0 in-game to run lookups — e.g. /chron lookup <player> or /chron near. It's not a public tool. Host + Mods
• Purpose: Moderation only Moderation

All in-game chat gets written to a server log file automatically by Minecraft. This is standard behaviour for any Minecraft server.

• Accessible to: Only the host can open the log file where chat is stored. Mods don't have shell access — if something needs reviewing, it goes through the host. Host only
• Purpose: Moderation only (rule violations, harassment reports, etc)
• Not shared with other players or third parties

The BeamMP server is a separate game server on the same machine. It is set to private, so it does not appear in the public BeamMP server list.

• Who you are: BeamMP signs you in with your BeamMP account, so the server sees your BeamMP username. Like any game server, it also sees the IP address you connect from. Host only
• Chat: In-game chat is written to the server log file. Host only
• Purpose: Moderation only (rule violations, harassment reports). Moderation
• Not shared with other players or third parties. BeamMP's own service handles your login under its own privacy policy.

Stormworks connects through Steam, so the server works with your Steam name and Steam ID. It never sees your Steam password.

• Player list: Steam name, Steam ID, and when you were last on the server, so the server can recognise you and apply your rank. Host only
• Verification: if you verify, we store that you are verified, plus the Discord account you verified from if you used /verify. BillySMP only
• Your rank: owner, admin, user or guest, saved in the world file by Steam ID. In world save
• Craft you spawn: the server tracks which player owns which vehicle while you are online. Heavy craft are removed 60 seconds after you leave. Session only
• Chat and joins: may appear in the server log, which only the host can read. Host only
• Purpose: running the server, workbench access, and moderation. Moderation

The site stores the following in your browser. Nothing here is sent to third parties or used for advertising.

Cookies

• billysmp_np — set when you dismiss the new player intro. Tells the site you've already been here so it doesn't show again. Local only
• bssmp_session — set when you log in to the community board. A simple flag (no personal data) that keeps you signed in for up to 60 days. Cleared on logout. Local only
• bssmp_notif_asked — set by notif.js when the site asks you about browser notifications. Remembers that you've already been asked so the prompt doesn't repeat. Lasts 365 days. Local only

localStorage (browser storage, not sent with requests)

• bssmp_profile — your community profile data (username, rank, join date, etc.) cached locally so the nav bar loads instantly without hitting the server every page. Cleared on logout.
• bssmp_session — mirrors the session cookie above, used by the nav bar to determine your login state client-side.
• community_token — your auth token for the community board (survival/anarchy boards). Used to post and vote. Cleared on logout.

None of this leaves your browser except community_token, which is sent to BillySMP's own community API to authenticate your actions — not to any third party.

NAVI is the AI chat widget on this website. You can ask it questions about BillySMP or how to navigate the site.

• Where it runs: Entirely on BillySMP's own server, using a local language model (Gemma 2 9B via Ollama). Your message never leaves BillySMP's hardware. On-site only
• What's sent: Your question, the current page URL, and a list of nav elements on the page (e.g. "Joins tab", "Community tab") — nothing else.
• Logging: Not logged, not stored, not associated with your account or IP beyond the rate limit (10 requests/minute per IP to prevent abuse — the counter resets and is never written to disk).
• Third parties: None. No OpenAI, no Google, no Anthropic — the model runs locally. No cloud
• Water / energy: Running a model locally on a dedicated GPU uses a fraction of the energy of a cloud API call, with no data-center water cooling involved.

Creating an account is optional. If you do, here's what's stored on BillySMP's own server — never shared, never sold:

• Profile: username, display name, and optional details you add (bio, platform tags, avatar, pronouns). BillySMP only
• Linked game accounts (all optional): a Minecraft username and/or a Steam profile. For Steam we check that the profile exists using its public page and keep the profile name and ID. We never ask for a Steam or Minecraft password. BillySMP only
• Password: stored only as a securely hashed value — never in plain text, and not visible to staff. Hashed
• Email: optional but recommended. Used only to secure your account — two-factor login codes and password resets. Never required to play, never used for marketing, never shared. Login security only
• Posts & map pins: anything you post, and any coordinates you choose to attach, are visible to other signed-in members. Public to members
• Retention: kept until you ask us to delete it — we don't run automatic purges. Indefinite

• Delete your data: Ask us to remove your community account and its posts at any time — message staff on our Discord or email contact.billysmp@gmail.com.
• Clear local data: Logging out clears your session and cached profile from this browser. Clearing your browser's site data removes the rest.
• Notifications: Browser and push notifications are opt-in, and can be turned off anytime in your browser or device settings.
• Children's privacy: Minecraft has younger players, and we don't knowingly collect anything beyond the account basics above from anyone. If you're a parent or guardian and want a child's account or data removed, contact us and we'll handle it.
