Privacy
What Azure stores and sends
The same facts as the Privacy screen in the client (Client › Privacy), in a bit more detail. Last updated .
Off until you turn it on
Azure Online is off by default. With it off, Azure sends nothing to its servers.
No account, no password
You sign in without an account. Azure never asks for your password or your Microsoft account token.
No ads, no selling
There are no ads in Azure, and your data is not sold or shared for advertising.
Azure Online, only when you turn it on
Friends, Azure Chat, party, capes and leaderboards run on Azure Online. It runs on Supabase, a database host. Each install signs in anonymously, so there is no account to create.
When Azure Online is on, it stores:
- Your Minecraft name, when you were last online and the cape you wear.
- The server you're on, only while Share Server is on.
- Your profile card: hours played, achievements and favorite server. Turn off Share Profile to stop sharing it.
- Azure Chat messages, private messages, friends and party. While you are in a party, your server and position are shared with the party.
- Game scores from Azure Games, and the last emote you played.
- Crash reports (game version and error text), only if Crash Reports is on and you agree after a crash.
- Cloud Sync: your setup, encrypted on your PC before it is uploaded. We can't read it.
- Feedback you send. With Share Module Usage on (it is off unless you turn it on): once a day, which modules you have on. No names, no servers.
Like any website, the host sees your IP address when Azure connects.
Other services
A few features talk to other services directly. Only what they need is sent:
- Lyrics: the song title and artist go to lrclib.net to find lyrics.
- Chat Translate (off by default): the text you translate goes to mymemory.translated.net.
- Skins and capes: Mojang's own servers, the same as the normal game. Uploading a skin from Skin Studio goes to Mojang, like it does from the launcher.
What Azure never does
- It never asks for or stores your password or Microsoft account token.
- It shows no ads and doesn't sell data.
- It sends nothing to Azure Online while Azure Online is off.
- It doesn't send a crash report without your click.
Your choice
Turn Azure Online off at any time in the Client window. From that moment nothing is sent any more. Shadow Mode is a middle ground: you can read Azure Chat and see who's on while staying hidden from the list.
Delete my data
The Delete My Online Data button removes what Azure Online keeps about you. It is in the Client window and on the Privacy screen.
- Open the menu (Left Alt), go to Client, then Privacy.
- Click Delete My Online Data. A pop-up asks you to confirm.
- Click it again within a few seconds. When it is done you see "Done: your Azure Online data is gone".
This deletes, right away and for good:
- your name, last-online time, server, cape and profile card
- your Azure Chat messages
- your private messages, both the ones you sent and the ones you received
- your friends and friend requests
- your party, game scores and emotes
- your crash reports and your account verification
Afterwards Azure Online is switched off and the sign-in saved on your PC is removed, so nothing new is stored unless you turn it on again. Your settings on your own PC are not touched.
Not covered by the button yet: feedback you sent, module usage reports, invite records and Cloud Sync backups. Cloud Sync backups are encrypted with your sync code and can't be read by us. To have any of these removed, contact the Azure Client owner.
Your rights (GDPR)
Who is responsible: Sabrilbg, azure.clyent@gmail.com (see the Legal notice).
Why we may use your data: your consent. Azure Online, Crash Reports, Share Module Usage and Feedback are all off until you turn them on, and you can turn them off at any time.
Who processes it: the database host Supabase, which stores the data for us. The data is stored in London, United Kingdom (region eu-west-2). The UK is recognised by the EU as protecting personal data to the same level (an "adequacy decision"), so the GDPR protections still apply.
How long it is kept: your profile and friends until you delete them; party positions are removed after an hour without use; crash reports after 60 days; your last emote is replaced by the next one; feedback until it has been read and handled.
Your rights: you can ask to see, correct, export or delete your data, or object to its use. The fastest way to delete everything is the Delete My Online Data button. For anything else, write to the contact above. You can also complain to the CNIL, the French data protection authority (cnil.fr), or to the authority in your country.
Children: under 15, please ask a parent or guardian before turning on Azure Online.
