Version history

Minecraft's privacy statement was updated on July 10, 2026 to add a new GDPR information section and clarify account migration details. The updated policy now includes an explanation of GDPR's role in data protection, distinguishes between Microsoft and Mojang accounts, explains the deprecation of Mojang accounts in favor of Microsoft accounts, and provides instructions for accessing or deleting player data. The policy also specifies that after requesting data deletion, players receive a 30-day grace period before their account and game access are permanently removed.

Minecraft's privacy statement was reorganized on June 26, 2026, with updates to navigation menu structure and marketing language. The changes involved repositioning education-related features, adding references to online safety and STEM learning content, and reorganizing game and career options in the navigation menu. These appear to be formatting and content reordering changes rather than substantive modifications to data collection, processing, or privacy practices.

Minecraft's Privacy Statement was updated on June 8, 2026, with references to a new product offering, Minecraft Dungeons II, replacing previous product bundle language. The change modified marketing copy within the document, shifting from references to 'Minecraft Triple Bundle' to 'Buy Minecraft Dungeons II' and adding promotional language like 'Watch the Trailer' and 'Drop the pickaxe, grab a sword, and charge into a thrilling new adventure in Minecraft Dungeons II.' This appears to be a product catalog update rather than a substantive change to privacy terms, data collection practices, or user rights.

Minecraft's privacy policy footer navigation was updated on May 15, 2026 to include a reference to 'Minecraft Dungeons II' alongside the existing 'Minecraft Dungeons' listing. This is a product catalog update in the footer navigation menu with no change to the privacy policy's substantive content, data practices, disclosures, or consumer rights.

Minecraft updated navigational and educational messaging on its Privacy Statement webpage on May 14, 2026. References to specific educational programs (Learn to Code, Explore STEM in Space, Learn Online Safety) were replaced with different educational offerings (Bring STEM to Life, Explore Online Safety). A new 'Consumer Health Privacy' link and 'Your Privacy Choices' footer were added. These are primarily formatting and content updates to the public-facing website interface rather than substantive changes to privacy rights or data practices.

Minecraft removed two navigation links from the footer of its Privacy Statement on May 5, 2026: the 'Consumer Health Privacy' link and the 'Your Privacy Choices' link. Both links previously appeared in the footer navigation section. The removal means these pages are no longer directly accessible from the privacy statement footer, though the underlying policies and rights they referenced may remain available elsewhere on Minecraft or Microsoft's websites.

Minecraft's privacy policy experienced a minimal navigation change on May 2, 2026, where the word 'Buy' was changed to 'Buy Now' in a menu link. This is a formatting or labeling adjustment with no material effect on privacy disclosures, data practices, or user rights under the terms.

Minecraft's Privacy Statement footer was updated on April 19, 2026 to add two new links: 'Consumer Health Privacy' and 'Your Privacy Choices'. These additions expand the privacy-related navigation options available in the document footer without modifying the substantive privacy policy language itself.
