PRIVACY POLICY
HYPESTUDIOS, LLC is a company currently in the process of formal registration. For the purposes of this privacy notice (“Notice”), HYPESTUDIOS is the controller and is responsible for your personal data, and the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to HYPESTUDIOS. This Notice specifically applies to the HYPEMC.NET services and its associated web store. Please note that until formal registration is complete, HYPESTUDIOS does not offer any services or collect any personal data beyond essential website analytics as consented by the user.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
To provide and improve our Services, we collect certain
information about your interactions with us. This information generally falls into two
categories: personal data you choose to share with us directly, and technical data that
our systems automatically gather as you navigate our website.
- When you use our site, you may voluntarily provide us with personal information. This happens when you contact us, in which case you might share your name and email address, or when you initiate a purchase on our web store. In the case of a purchase, you are required to provide your Minecraft Username (IGN) and E-mail Address to facilitate the transaction and ensure delivery of virtual goods.
- Like most websites, we also automatically collect certain technical information to maintain the security and operation of our Services. This data does not reveal your specific identity and includes Log and Usage Data (like your IP address, browser type, and operating system), Device Data (such as device ID numbers), and general Location Data derived from your IP address.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
The personal information we collect is processed for a
range of legitimate business purposes, all of which are integral to operating our
Services, ensuring their security, communicating with you, and improving your
experience.
- To provide and maintain our Services.
- To process and fulfill your purchases: This includes verifying transactions, securely handling payments via our third-party provider, and automatically adding "Crystals" (virtual currency) or in-game items to your Minecraft account.
- To protect our Services from fraud, abuse, and other security risks.
- To analyze and improve our Services by understanding usage trends and determining the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
- To communicate with you and respond to your inquiries, comments, and requests for support.
- To comply with legal obligations and protect the vital interests of individuals.
SHARING YOUR INFORMATION
We are committed to protecting your privacy and do not
sell your personal information to third parties. We only share your data in a limited
number of specific situations and with trusted partners who help us operate and improve
our Services.
We may share your data with third-party vendors, consultants, and
other service providers who perform services on our behalf. These partners are essential
for functions like website analytics, payment processing, and content delivery. Our key
service providers include:
- Stripe: For the secure processing of payments made in our web store. We share the necessary data (including your email address and transaction details) to facilitate the purchase and prevent fraud. We do not collect or store your full credit card details.
- PayPal: For processing payments when you select this option. You will be redirected to PayPal to complete your purchase, and they will process your payment data in accordance with their own privacy policy. We share necessary transaction details to confirm and fulfill your order.
- PaysafeCard: To provide an alternative payment method using prepaid vouchers. When you choose this option, we share necessary transaction data with PaysafeCard's processing services to confirm and process the payment.
- Google Analytics: For web and mobile analytics.
- Google Fonts: For content optimization.
If we are involved in a merger, sale of company assets,
financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, your
information may be shared or transferred as part of that transaction in accordance with
legal and contractual obligations.
We may disclose your information if required to
do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities, such as a court or
government agency. We may also share information if we believe it is necessary to prevent
harm, investigate potential violations of our policies, or to protect our rights,
property, and safety.

We use first-party cookies (set by us)
and third-party cookies (set by our service providers like Google). These include:
- Necessary Cookies: Essential for the website to function. They cannot be disabled.
- Functional Cookies: These cookies are used to enhance your experience by remembering choices you make, such as your selected currency for the store.

DATA RETENTION AND SECURITY
- Retention: We keep your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this notice, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

After its conclusion, we will delete data in accordance with applicable laws.
- Security: We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information. However, no electronic transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise that unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.

accessing our Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your

request is particularly complex or you have submitted multiple requests, this period may
be extended. We will keep you informed if this is the case.

the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in your
country.
