Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Overview

ChunkDeck is an open-source, self-hosted Minecraft server control panel. Your server data never leaves your machine. This privacy policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

The ChunkDeck Application

What we collect

The ChunkDeck application itself collects no personal data. When you run ChunkDeck on your computer:

  • Your server files, player data, and world files stay entirely on your machine
  • No data is sent to us or any third party
  • No accounts are created or required
  • No telemetry, analytics, or tracking happens

You have full control over your server and all data it contains. If you choose to use the Play Online feature (powered by playit.gg), please review their privacy practices.

The ChunkDeck Website

This website (chunkdeck.dev) may use cookies to understand how visitors use the site and to improve the user experience.

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled:

  • Navigation state: Maintains your mobile menu state while browsing

Non-essential cookies (Analytics)

If enabled, analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. This requires your consent under GDPR.

  • Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when they're being set

Download counter

We use Abacus, a privacy-respecting hit counter, to show the total number of downloads. It does not track individual users, store cookies, or retain any personal information.
