• Usage data: in-world activities (e.g., time spent, objects created, messages sent and received, group membership).
• Technical connection data: IP address, approximate country location, and type of viewer used (retained for 30 days).

3. Purpose and legal basis of processing

The data are processed to:
• Provide access to and use of the virtual world (legal basis: performance of a contract – art. 6.1.b GDPR);
• Manage technical support and credential recovery (legal basis: performance of a contract – art. 6.1.b GDPR);
• Send communications about events or initiatives (only with prior consent – art. 6.1.a GDPR);
• Ensure the security and technical management of the service (legal basis: legitimate interest – art. 6.1.f GDPR).
No profiling of users is carried out.

4. Processing methods and storage

The data are processed using IT tools on servers within the European Union and are stored:
• for the entire duration of the account and deleted upon request of the data subject;
• for a maximum of 30 days, limited to connection data (IP, viewer, location).

5. Use of Hypergrid and transfer to third parties

When the user accesses external virtual worlds via Hypergrid technology, the servers of such worlds may detect and store personal information such as:
• Avatar name and Craft-World account UUID
• IP address and other technical connection data
Upon first access to an external world, the user may be required to accept that world’s policy; in this case, the account UUID, associated with the avatar name, may be stored for future accesses. The user must be aware that data processed by external servers are not managed by Craft-World and are subject to the privacy policy of such third parties.

6. Rights of the data subject

The user may exercise the rights of access, rectification, deletion, restriction, or objection to the processing of their data as provided by Articles 15 and following of the GDPR, except for data retained for legal or accounting obligations. These rights may be exercised by writing to:
• e-mail: r.macis@gram.it
• PEC: gram@mypec.eu

7. Consequences of account deletion

Deleting the account will result in the deletion of e-mail, password, avatar name, and UUID. It will no longer be possible to associate created objects with the creator's identity, making it impossible to guarantee copyright.
