Privacy Policy

gabriel.srv is a community website for game servers (CS2 and Minecraft). It sells nothing and charges nothing. This page explains what information is collected, why, and your rights.

What we collect

• Steam sign-in: your Steam ID and your public Steam name and picture. We never receive your password.
• Your choices on the site: skins, MVP songs, collections and likes.
• Game data from the servers: in-game name, stats, playtime, bans and mutes, and the IP address stored by the server admin system to enforce the rules.
• Contact form: the subject, category and message, plus a name, email and Discord username only if you choose to fill them in. Messages are stored on the server and emailed to the team.
• Admin panel login attempts: the IP address, browser type and username are logged to detect break-in attempts. The password is never stored.
• Browser preferences: language, favorites, volume, Red Alert mute, accessibility settings and your cookie-notice choice are kept only in your browser's local storage.

What is public

Your Steam name and picture, your stats, your choices (skins and MVP songs) and server penalties are shown to everyone who visits the site.

Why we use it

To run the servers and the site, show rankings and your choices, enforce the server rules and answer messages. We do not sell information or use it for advertising.

Cookies and local storage

• wp_session: one essential cookie that keeps you signed in with Steam for up to 30 days.
• Local storage: the preferences listed above. They are never sent to us.
• There are no advertising cookies, trackers or analytics on the site.

Third parties

• Steam (Valve): sign-in, names and profile pictures.
• Google Fonts and jsDelivr: fonts and icons. Your browser contacts them directly, so they see your IP address.
• mc-heads.net: Minecraft player pictures.
• Gmail: delivers contact form messages and security alerts to the team.
• Tzeva Adom: the source of the Home Front Command alerts on the site. Nothing about you is sent to it.
• Spotify and YouTube: only opened when you click a link, and their own policies apply.

Retention

We keep information as long as it is needed to run the servers and the site. You can ask us to delete it at any time, except what is needed to enforce active penalties.

Your rights

Under the Israeli Privacy Protection Law you may view the information about you and ask to correct or delete it. Reach us through Help & Contact.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information, including:

• A firewall that lets the internet reach only the game servers and the website. Management systems are reachable only from the internal network and through a secure connection.
• A limit on admin panel login attempts, an automatic block after repeated tries, and an alert to the team on every attempt.
• A limit on how many messages the contact form accepts, to prevent flooding.
• Protection against other websites trying to act on your behalf on the site.
• The database is reachable only from inside the server, not from the internet.
• Automatic security updates for the system and the game servers.

The site is not on HTTPS yet and we're working on it, so for now please don't send sensitive information through it. No system is completely secure, and if a problem ever affects your information, we will say so on this page.

Found a security problem on the site or the servers? Please report it to us through Help and Contact, and don't publish it before we have had a chance to fix it.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
