Privacy policy

We collect as little as possible. Here is what, and why.

Controller

The Vostren team. For any request, write to contact@vostren.eu or reach us on the Vostren Discord.

On this website

  • No account, no form, no cookie, no advertising and no audience tracking.
  • Your language choice is stored in your browser only. It is never sent to us.
  • The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes technical data (IP address, browser type) to serve and protect it. The server status and vote counters shown on the site also go through Cloudflare.
  • If you vote for a server on Top-Serveurs, the player name you enter there is passed to us by Top-Serveurs. It may appear in a thank-you message on our Discord and is kept at Cloudflare for as long as the vote is in the current hour's list. We do not keep voters' IP addresses.
  • The font is loaded from Google Fonts: your IP address is sent to Google when the page opens.
  • Discord, Steam, DZSA Launcher, DayZ Metrics and Top-Serveurs are third-party services: their own policies apply once you follow those links.

On the game servers

When you connect to a Vostren server, we process:

  • your Steam ID and your player name;
  • your IP address;
  • game logs: connections, kills, chat messages and in-game actions.

This data is used to run the servers, moderate them, fight cheating (BattlEye, CFTools) and display the in-game killfeed and leaderboard. This processing relies on our legitimate interest in administering the servers.

The game servers, and therefore this data, are hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH.

To administer the servers and detect cheating, we use CFTools Cloud, a third-party service. Your Steam ID, player name, IP address and the game logs are sent to it, and CFTools applies its own privacy policy.

It is never sold or used for advertising.

Retention

Logs are kept for 6 months to 1 year, depending on what moderation requires. Sanctions are kept for as long as they are in force.

Discord

Our community uses Discord, which applies its own privacy policy.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you can ask to access, correct or delete your data, or object to its processing. Write to contact@vostren.eu or reach us on Discord.

You can also lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL (cnil.fr).
