Minecraft Privacy Statement

This document is the privacy policy published by Minecraft (operated under Microsoft/Mojang) governing data collection, use, and sharing across Minecraft products and services, with Microsoft's Privacy Statement serving as the foundational legal basis. The policy states that personal data collected includes account identifiers, gameplay activity, device information, and communications, and the terms authorize sharing this data with Microsoft affiliates, service providers, and third-party partners for purposes including game operation, analytics, advertising, and safety enforcement. The policy discloses data collection from child accounts through supervised Microsoft Family Safety arrangements, with parental consent mechanisms described as governing minor access, which is operationally distinct given the platform's significant under-13 user base and the applicability of COPPA in the United States. The policy references Microsoft's broader privacy framework, meaning the full scope of data rights and obligations is distributed across multiple documents rather than contained in this single policy, which may create practical difficulty for users seeking a complete picture of their rights. GDPR, CCPA, COPPA, and applicable national data protection laws are engaged, with jurisdiction-specific rights such as access, deletion, and portability acknowledged but primarily addressed through Microsoft's central privacy portal rather than Minecraft-specific mechanisms.
