Last updated: December 21, 2025

Who we are

Boltnodes provides free, ad-supported Minecraft Java Edition server hosting. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our site and services.

Information we collect

  • Account data you provide, such as email, username, and server names.
  • Usage data, including server actions (start/stop), logs needed for troubleshooting, and basic analytics (pages visited, device/browser information).
  • Ad-related data collected by our advertising partners (e.g., Google) when ads are shown or interacted with.

How we use information

  • Operate and improve hosting services, including provisioning and monitoring servers.
  • Provide support, respond to inquiries, and communicate about service changes.
  • Detect abuse, fraud, or security issues.
  • Serve and measure advertising that keeps the service free.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, analytics, and advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may limit functionality.

Consent and controls

For regions that require consent (such as the EEA/UK), we present a consent banner so you can choose how cookies and ad technology are used. You can withdraw or change consent at any time from the banner controls when available.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics, advertising) who work on our behalf, and as required by law or to protect our rights.

Data retention

We retain account and server data while your account remains active and as needed for legal, security, and operational purposes. Logs may be kept for a limited period for debugging and compliance.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

  • You can update or delete your account data by contacting support.
  • You can manage cookies in your browser settings.
  • If you are in a region with applicable privacy rights, you may request access, correction, or deletion of your data by contacting us.

Advertising and third parties

Ads are delivered by third-party partners such as Google. These partners may use cookies or device identifiers to provide and measure ads. Review their policies for details on how they handle data.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your data. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@boltnodes.net. We will verify your request and respond as required by applicable law.

Children

Boltnodes is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
