Last Updated: December 18, 2025

Azonex Tiers ("Azonex Tiers", "we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard information when you access or use our services ("the Service").

By using Azonex Tiers, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Introduction

Azonex Tiers is a competitive Minecraft PvP tierlist and ranking platform. We aim to operate transparently and responsibly while respecting user privacy and applicable data protection principles.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Publicly Available Data (Fetched via APIs)

We may collect and store publicly available competitive data related to Minecraft player accounts, including but not limited to:

  • In-game usernames (IGNs)

  • Competitive tiers, rankings, and related statistics
  • Public match or leaderboard information

This data is obtained exclusively from documented, publicly accessible APIs or public endpoints, including:

  • The official MCTiers API
  • Official Mojang / Microsoft services (for UUID ↔ username consistency)

➡️ Important:

We do not access private systems, use backdoors, bypass security measures, or collect restricted or hidden information. All fetched data is intentionally made public by the originating platform.

2.2 Data Provided Directly by Users

In certain cases, users may voluntarily provide data to Azonex Tiers, particularly when participating in competitive testing. This may include:

  • Minecraft IGN
  • Match results or performance information
  • Evidence submissions (videos, screenshots, links)
  • Communications such as support requests or feedback

This information is provided knowingly and voluntarily for competitive evaluation and platform functionality.

2.3 Automatically Collected Information

We may automatically collect limited technical data, such as:

  • Log data (IP address, browser type, timestamps)
  • Device and browser information
  • Usage data (pages visited, features used)
  • Cookies or similar tracking technologies

This information is used for security, analytics, and service improvement purposes.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

  • Operate and maintain the Service

  • Match results and statistics
  • Submitted evidence links and descriptions

Users should not submit information they wish to keep private. Competitive rankings and submissions are inherently public in nature.

All third-party services are subject to their own privacy policies.

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • Maintain sessions and preferences
  • Analyze usage and traffic
  • Improve functionality and performance

You may control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

  • Public competitive data (rankings, tiers, match history) may be retained long-term as historical records.
  • User-submitted testing data may be retained for integrity, audit, and dispute resolution purposes.
  • Technical logs are retained only as long as reasonably necessary.

Retention periods may vary based on purpose and legal requirements.

9. User Rights & Requests

Depending on applicable law, users may request:

  • Access to stored personal data
  • Correction of inaccurate information
  • Removal or restriction of displayed data (subject to competitive integrity needs)

Requests can be made through official support channels or the Discord server and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Azonex Tiers is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If such data is discovered, it will be removed promptly.

11. Third-Party Links

The Service may contain links to third-party platforms (e.g., Discord, YouTube). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Users should review those platforms' policies separately.

12. International Users
