Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Bedrock Cosmos. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our launcher and services.

2. Information We Collect

Bedrock Cosmos collects minimal usage data that is temporarily logged on our servers. The launcher itself operates entirely as a client-side proxy, with all in-game responses being hosted on your local device.

Usage Metrics: When you use the Bedrock Cosmos launcher, our API logs your IP address for daily usage tracking. These records are retained only until midnight (Eastern US Time) each day, at which point they are automatically deleted. IP addresses are collected solely to measure aggregate usage and are not linked to your identity or account.

Content Processing: The launcher communicates with our hosted API to append Bedrock Cosmos's resource pack and world item data to your current DLC data. This enables you to access resource packs and worlds using the launcher. This API call transmits your existing DLC data to our server for processing; we do not persistently store your DLC data beyond the completion of this API request.

Custom Cosmetic Submissions: If you voluntarily choose to submit custom cape or skin designs through our Discord server for inclusion in Bedrock Cosmos, we will collect and store those cape files along with your Discord username to identify you as the creator. This is entirely optional and only occurs when you actively submit content within our community. These submitted capes and skins may be made available to all Bedrock Cosmos users through the launcher.

Discord: If you join our Discord server for support or community interaction, Discord's own privacy policy applies to that interaction. We may see your Discord username and any content you voluntarily share in the server, but this is separate from the Bedrock Cosmos launcher itself.

We do NOT collect:

• Personal information (name, email, address, etc.)
• Technical information about your device's hardware
• Your Minecraft account credentials
• Any gameplay or interaction data

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited data described above for the following purposes:

Usage Metrics: IP addresses are counted to understand daily active usage of the launcher on an aggregate basis. They are not used to identify individual users, track behavior, or share with third parties.

Content Processing: Your DLC data is processed through our API solely to append additional resource pack and world items, enabling launcher functionality. It is not stored, analyzed, or used for any other purpose.

Custom Cosmetic Submissions: If you submit custom cape or skin designs through our Discord server, we may use those files to make them available to all Bedrock Cosmos users through the launcher. Your submitted cosmetics become part of the shared community collection if accepted.

The following processing occurs locally on your device, including:

• Adding custom capes to your game experience
• Revealing hidden marketplace content
• Restoring missing features to skin packs (capes, animations, skins)

4. Data Storage and Security

Usage Metrics: IP addresses collected for usage metrics are stored on our servers for a maximum of 24 hours and are permanently deleted each day at midnight (Eastern US Time). We do not associate IP addresses with individual user accounts or retain them beyond this window.

Content Processing: DLC data transmitted to our API is processed transiently to add Bedrock Cosmos's additional content and is not retained on our servers after the request is fulfilled.

Custom Cosmetic Submissions: Custom cape and skin designs that you voluntarily submit through our Discord server are stored in our database along with your Discord username for creator attribution. This allows us and other users to identify who created each design. The submitted files themselves do not contain any additional personal information beyond your Discord username.

5. Third-Party Services

Bedrock Cosmos may interact with third-party services:

• Discord: For community support and user engagement
• GitHub: For hosting and distributing the application's source code and releases
• Minecraft Services: The launcher acts as a proxy to Minecraft Bedrock's servers

These third-party services have their own Privacy Policies. We encourage you to review their policies, as we are not responsible for their privacy practices.

6. Cookies and Tracking

The Bedrock Cosmos launcher does not use cookies or browser-based tracking technologies. The launcher does collect IP addresses via our API for daily usage metrics as described in Section 2, though this data is aggregate in nature and is purged daily.

Our website (bedrock-cosmos.app) uses minimal functionality and does not employ tracking cookies or analytics beyond basic web server logs that are standard for any website.

7. Children's Privacy

Bedrock Cosmos is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

8. Your Rights

Since Bedrock Cosmos does not collect any personal data through the launcher, there is no user data for you to access or modify. The launcher operates entirely locally on your device.

Custom Cosmetic Submissions: If you have submitted custom capes or skins to be used within Bedrock Cosmos, you have the right to request deletion at any time. Simply contact us through our Discord server with your deletion request, and we will remove your submitted cosmetic(s) from our database and app.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of Bedrock Cosmos after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Open Source Transparency

Bedrock Cosmos is fully open source and available on GitHub. You can review our entire codebase to verify that no data collection occurs. We believe in complete transparency, and we encourage technical users to examine the code themselves to confirm our privacy claims.

The open-source nature of the project ensures that any data collection would be immediately visible to the community, providing an additional layer of accountability and trust.
