PortalMine (“we”, “us”, “our”) provides a web platform for creating and managing Minecraft servers. Our public website is available at portalmine.com.
If you have privacy questions, contact support@portalmine.com.

- Device & access data: IP address, approximate location (derived from IP), browser type, and pages visited for security and analytics.
- Support data: messages and attachments you send to support.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal data. If you send it to support, please remove unnecessary sensitive details.
3) How we use data

- Security & abuse prevention: detect suspicious activity, limit spam, and protect the platform.
