Privacy Policy

This policy covers the website muogg.com ("MUOGG", "we"). MUOGG is a directory of MMORPG private servers where players find servers and vote for them, and server owners list and promote their servers.

For any question about your data, or to use the rights described below, contact us at our Discord server.

• Account. If you sign in with Discord we receive your Discord ID, username and avatar (the "identify" permission only; we do not receive your Discord e-mail or messages). If you register with e-mail, we store your username, e-mail address and a one-way hash of your password. We use this to run your account and your listings.
• Server listings, reviews and uploads. The texts, links, icons and banners you submit are stored and shown publicly on the site.
• Votes. When you vote we store your IP address, your browser's user-agent, the game account or character name you enter, a technical fingerprint (a hash of IP, browser and a random session value) and the time. This prevents the same person from voting more than once every 12 hours and protects the ranking from fraud. The account or character name of recent votes is shown on the server's page. Vote records are deleted at the monthly reset on the 1st of each month.
• Vote rewards (postback). If the server you vote for has connected vote rewards, we send that game server the account or character name you entered, your IP address and the time of the vote, so it can give you the reward. That server is operated by its owner, not by MUOGG, and handles the data under its own rules.
• Payments. Balance top-ups are processed by PayPal. We receive the payment status, transaction ID, amount and currency. We never see your card or bank details.
• Visitor statistics. To count page views and unique visitors we set the cookie muogg_vid and store the visitor ID, your IP address and a hash of your browser's user-agent. These records are used only for the site's statistics.
• Server logs. Our hosting provider records technical logs (IP address, requested page, time, browser) to keep the site secure and working.

• Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): your account, your listings and paid services.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): protecting votes and rankings from fraud, keeping the site secure, and basic visitor statistics.
• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): where the law requires consent, for example for advertising cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): keeping payment records as accounting law requires.

• PHPSESSID: keeps you signed in and protects forms. Deleted when you close the browser or sign out.
• muogg_vid: anonymous visitor ID for statistics, kept for up to 1 year.
• Local storage in your browser: the game account you chose to remember on the vote page (only if you tick "remember"), and a technical client ID in the account panel. This data stays in your browser and you can clear it at any time.
• Third-party services listed below can set their own cookies.

• Google reCAPTCHA on the vote page checks that a human is voting. Google receives technical data from your browser. Google Privacy Policy, Terms.
• count.bg counts visits on the home page.
• PayPal processes payments. PayPal Privacy Statement.
• Discord handles sign-in with Discord. Discord Privacy Policy.
• Listed game servers receive vote data through postback, as described above.

• Vote records: until the monthly reset on the 1st of the month.
• Account, listings and reviews: until you delete them or ask us to delete your account.
• Payment records: as long as accounting law requires.
• Statistics cookie: up to 1 year.

You can ask for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interests. Contact us at our Discord server. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority of your country.
