Privacy Policy

Privacy policy for the website, the Rust server and the Discord of MINUSTWO · Last updated:

1. Controller

2. Overview

We only process personal data as far as necessary to run the website, the Rust server “EU | MINUSTWO.GG | 2X ONE GRID | SOLO/DUO/TRIO/QUAD” and our Discord server. We do not sell any data and do not use advertising or tracking services.

3. Hosting and server logs

The website and the game server run on a server we rent from FREAKHOSTING LTD (server location: Germany). When you visit the website, the web server automatically stores:

• IP address, date and time of access
• requested page or file, status code
• browser identifier (user agent) and, if applicable, the previously visited page (referrer)

Purpose: secure and stable operation and defence against attacks. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest). The logs are deleted automatically after 14 days at the latest. To protect against attacks, failed login attempts on the server are evaluated briefly and the IP may be blocked temporarily.

4. Cookies and local storage

We only set one technically necessary cookie (“m2_session”), and only once you sign in with Steam. It keeps you signed in for up to 12 hours and is deleted when you log out. There are no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. Legal basis: § 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG and Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Fonts are loaded directly from our server – there is no connection to Google.

5. Sign in with Steam

For signing in we use “Sign in through Steam” (OpenID) by Valve Corporation, USA. You are redirected to the Steam website; we only receive your SteamID. Your public Steam name and avatar are loaded from your public Steam profile. We store your SteamID and the time of your first and last sign-in.

Purpose: sign-in, linking your game statistics, team applications and purchases. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Valve’s privacy policy applies to the processing by Valve.

6. Linking your Discord account

You can voluntarily link your Discord account (OAuth2 by Discord Inc., USA). We only receive your Discord ID and Discord name – no messages, email address or servers. Purpose: assigning roles (e.g. the VIP role) and contacting you about applications. You can remove the link at any time in the login panel (“Unlink”). Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent).

7. Rust game server

When you play on our Rust server, the following data is processed for technical reasons:

• SteamID, player name and IP address (connection, anti-cheat, bans)
• Game statistics: kills, deaths, hits, headshots, playtime, first and last login
• Chat messages in game (visible to the team for moderation)
• Moderation data: reports, warnings, bans with reason and duration, and internal team notes
• In-game commands of team members are logged

Publicly visible on the website: player name, Steam avatar, clan, statistics, playtime, online status, team role and VIP status (leaderboard, player profiles, kill feed). Moderation data is only visible to the team.

Purpose: running the server, fair play, rankings. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Statistics of a map are reset at each wipe; all-time statistics, moderation data and bans are stored as long as the server is operated or until a ban expires. Warnings expire after 30 days.

8. Votes

When you vote on external server lists (rust-servers.net, rustserverlist.com, top.gg, Disboard), their privacy policies apply. With the /claim command our server asks these sites, using your SteamID, whether you have voted, in order to give you the reward.

9. Shop (Tebex)

Purchases and donations in the shop are processed by Tebex Limited (United Kingdom) as the merchant. When you click “Buy”, we create a basket at Tebex and redirect you. There you confirm your Steam account and enter your payment details – we do not receive your payment details. From Tebex we only receive which package was bought for which SteamID, so that the rank can be assigned on the server automatically. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Tebex’s privacy policy applies to the processing by Tebex.

10. Team applications

When you apply, we store the information from the form (position, age, hours played, languages, availability, experience, motivation) together with your SteamID and linked Discord. Only the admin team has access. The data is deleted after the decision, at the latest after 6 months. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

11. Discord server

On our Discord server, Discord’s privacy policy applies as well. Our bots process: role assignments (verify, self roles, VIP), reactions to reports and support tickets. When a ticket is closed, its history is saved as a transcript for the admin team. On our website we only show anonymous numbers from Discord (members, online, people per voice channel) – no names or profile pictures.

12. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object (Art. 21), as well as the right to withdraw any consent at any time. To do so, contact us at the address above or open a ticket on our Discord.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, e.g. the authority of your country or federal state.

13. Changes

We update this privacy policy when our services change. The version published here applies.
