Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information PixelStats collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. PixelStats is a free Hypixel stats website. You can browse and look up players without an account; the sections below about account data only apply if you choose to create one.

Information we collect

If you create an account: the email address and password you sign up with (passwords are stored only as a salted hash, never in plain text), or, if you sign in with Discord, your Discord user ID and username. We also store the Minecraft accounts you claim, and any profile customization you set, such as a theme, location or bio.

Activity tied to your account: the players you follow or favourite, and which of your claimed accounts is set as primary.

Technical data: like most websites we use a small amount of analytics and server logs to keep the site running and understand broad usage. We do not build advertising profiles and we do not sell your data.

Public Minecraft and Hypixel data

When you look up a player, PixelStats displays data from the public Hypixel and Mojang APIs. That information is published by Hypixel and Mojang, not collected by us about you, and players can hide parts of it from in-game settings. We cache it for a few minutes to stay fast and within Hypixel’s API rules.

How we use your information

• To create and secure your account and keep you signed in.
• To verify ownership when you claim a Minecraft account.
• To provide features you opt into, such as following players or optional alerts.
• To operate, maintain and improve the site.

Cookies

We use an essential cookie to keep you signed in after you log in. It is required for the account features to work and is not used for advertising. Lightweight analytics may set their own cookies; you can block these in your browser without affecting core features.

Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal data. We rely on a few service providers to run the site, such as our hosting and database providers, and, if you choose it, Discord for sign-in. These providers only process data on our behalf to deliver the service.

Data retention

We keep account data for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account, the associated account data is removed. Public Hypixel and Mojang data is not stored long term; it is fetched on demand and cached briefly.

Your choices and rights

You can update your email, password and profile from your account settings, unfollow or unfavourite players at any time, and remove claimed accounts. You can request deletion of your account and its data by contacting us. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights to access or delete your information.

Children

PixelStats is a fan site for a game played by a broad audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including hashing passwords and serving the site over HTTPS. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use PixelStats after a change means you accept the updated policy.
