Privacy Policy for Lindolas.com
Effective Date: September 23, 2026
Welcome to Lindolas.com. Your privacy is a priority here. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is handled, and how your choices are respected regarding tracking and third-party services when you browse my Minecraft building blog and download maps. Note: This site does not use Google Analytics or display network advertisements.
Information We Collect
Information is handled in the following ways:
- Voluntarily Provided Data:
- Email Newsletter: If you subscribe to get updates via email, your email address is collected to deliver new and updated Minecraft maps directly to your inbox.
- Comments: If you choose to leave a comment on a build showcase, you may be asked to provide a name and email address. This is used solely to display your comment on the post.
- Automatically Collected Data: The underlying platform (Blogger) may automatically log basic technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, and time stamps, purely for functional security and operational purposes. We also use standard local browser storage strictly to remember your cookie consent preferences.
- Third-Party Services: To deliver downloads and newsletters, this blog embeds third-party features. These external platforms handle data according to their own rules:
- Substack: Operates as the email newsletter delivery service. When you subscribe, your email address is securely handled by them according to their data practices. (Substack Privacy Policy)
- CurseForge / Overwolf: Used to facilitate map and schematic downloads for Java and Bedrock editions. They may collect anonymous download statistics to calculate creator build rewards. (Overwolf Platform Privacy Policy)
Personal information is never sold, rented, traded, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
How We Use Your Information
- To send you updates about new Minecraft maps when you join the newsletter.
- To allow you to participate in community build discussions via post comments.
- To provide secure access to free world files, schematic files, and installation guides.
Cookies and Consent
We believe in a minimal tracking footprint:
- Functional Preferences: Accepting or declining basic functional cookies saves a tiny data fragment in your browser's local storage solely to remember your settings on future visits.
- Third-Party Links: External links to file downloads (CurseForge) process data independently once you leave our site.
You can reset your tracking preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and site data.
