Data inventory
What we process
PlushSMP processes account identifiers and names, session and AFK-filtered active-time records, gameplay progress, player-created content, claims, teams, transactions, reports, moderation records, technical connection logs, referral nominations and qualification state, StuffyDex discoveries, and bounded public conversation records needed to operate and protect the service. Optional Woodland Cats participation adds the fictional profile and choices a player creates.
A referral nomination is made in game with a known player name. It does not require email or an external message. The website has no advertising trackers, third-party analytics, social pixels, or payment collection.
Public channels only
Public conversation retention
Successful global public chat and opted-in Woodland public chat are retained internally for up to 90 days with the sender UUID, current-name snapshot, Woodland character label when applicable, message text, channel, integrity hash, and time. This archive excludes private messages, team chat, commands, reports, appeals, blocked text, recipient lists, coordinates, connection addresses, and moderation evidence.
The archive is available only through restricted internal operations tools. It is not a live public feed. Any future website examples require a separate human-reviewed curation release and use fictional pseudonyms by default; no public conversation page or export is active now.
Opt-in publishing
StuffyDex leaderboard snapshots
The leaderboard controls are live. /stuffydex leaderboard on opts a player into future public snapshots and /stuffydex leaderboard off opts out.
The sanitized format has one global generation time. An opted-in row may publish exactly rank, current Minecraft name, Series One discovery count, and world-first count. It never publishes UUIDs, precise locations, session history, referral relationships, or hidden discovery details. Snapshots are periodic rather than live and may become stale; opting out removes a player from future snapshots, though older copies may remain temporarily in caches and finite backups.
Adult volunteers
Staff application data
The adult volunteer application collects the account and contact names shown on the form, availability, relevant experience, scenario responses, motivation, and required attestations. It does not request a legal name, birth date, home address, phone number, school, workplace, passwords, or payment information. Basic security controls protect the form without publishing their configuration.
Purpose limitation
Why we use it
- Provide persistent survival gameplay and restore a player's state.
- Operate StuffyDex progress, in-game referrals, qualification checks, reward delivery, and player-chosen leaderboard snapshots.
- Restore an opted-in Woodland Cats participant's fictional profile and gameplay choices.
- Protect claims, economy operations, trades, deliveries, and item recovery.
- Enforce rules, investigate reports and grief, prevent evasion, and process appeals.
- Evaluate adult Community Helper applicants, contact selected applicants through the contact name they submitted, verify account control later, and administer volunteer access.
- Diagnose errors, secure infrastructure, manage retries, and recover from failures.
Not forever by default
Retention
Unselected global and Woodland public conversation records expire after at most 90 days. Gameplay and referral records remain while needed to maintain the long-term world, account state, fair qualification, and reward integrity. Public leaderboard snapshots are replaced periodically; stale copies may persist temporarily in caches and finite backups. Security, moderation, transaction, recovery, application, and hosting records are retained only as long as needed for integrity, safety, review, legal obligations, and finite backups.
Player choices
Access, correction, and deletion
Players may request an explanation or copy of their custom-plugin profile data, correction of inaccurate account metadata, or deletion where operational and legal obligations allow. Leaderboard publishing and Woodland Cats participation are optional. Deleting persistent gameplay data may permanently remove ownership links, progression, balances, claims, fictional profiles, and recovery rights.
Privacy contact status: a dedicated public privacy contact has not yet been published. Until one appears here, there is no verified website channel for access or deletion requests; applicants who are contacted may ask the contacting staff member to route a request. Never submit passwords, private keys, government identification, payment information, or unrelated personal evidence.
Families
Children and supervision
Players under the age required by their local law should join only with parent or guardian permission. PlushSMP does not ask children to publish real names, exact ages or birth dates, schools, addresses, phone numbers, or external social accounts. Families should review platform privacy settings and the family safety guide together. The staff application is only for adults who attest that they are at least 18.
