1. Data controller
The controller responsible for the processing of data related to this website, the BANMOD mod and the connected services is:
- Sepe Giovanni
- Country: Germany
- Contact email: [banmod.giannibart@gmail.com](mailto:banmod.giannibart@gmail.com)
For any request related to privacy, personal data or the exercise of your rights, you can contact the controller at the email address indicated above.
2. Scope of the service
This website and the connected services are related to the BANMOD mod for the videogame Among Us.
The website does not provide public user registration and does not require the creation of an account with email and password.
The mod and the connected server may allow, among other things:
- technical verification and management of the mod client
- request and management of technical tokens/API access connected to the mod
- display of information about active in-game lobbies
- display of the lobby code, including private lobbies, only if the user has enabled the relevant setting in the mod
- sending bug reports, player reports and support requests from the mod
- viewing reports sent directly from the mod
- editing or removing sent reports, where the function is available
- receiving administrator replies to reports
- managing reports and communications also through a Discord server connected to the project
- sending communications from the server to the mod through popup messages
3. Data processed
The mod, the server and the connected services may process the following categories of data:
- technical mod data, such as mod ID, API token, mod version, language, region and client status
- game data, such as player name, friend code, hashed PUID where available, player ID, platform, online status, game mode, number of players and lobby information
- lobby code, only if the relevant sharing setting has been enabled by the user in the mod
- data related to reports sent from the mod, such as report type, title, game mode, bug description, report reason, custom roles indicated, other installed mods and connected technical data
- data of the reported player, where available, such as player name, friend code, hashed PUID, player ID, platform and report reason
- technical BepInEx logs, including LogOutput.log and ErrorLog.log, sent automatically together with reports to allow technical analysis of the problem
- data related to server messages sent to the mod, such as message ID, technical signature, confirmation of display or closure and reminder interval
- messages, replies or information voluntarily sent by the user through the mod, Discord or other contact channels connected to the project
The service does not require special or sensitive data such as health data, political opinions, religious beliefs, biometric data or similar data.
The user should avoid entering unnecessary personal information, passwords, private tokens, sensitive data or irrelevant content in reports, logs or messages.
4. Technical BepInEx logs
When the user sends a report from the mod, BepInEx logs are sent automatically to allow the controller or authorized administrators to analyze errors, crashes, incompatibilities or technical issues.
The logs may contain technical information generated by the game, the mod, BepInEx or other mods installed by the user.
The mod displays an information notice informing the user that logs will be sent automatically together with the report.
5. Purposes of processing
The data is processed for the following purposes:
- to allow the mod and connected server services to work correctly
- to technically identify the mod client through token, mod ID, friend code or other technical identifiers
- to display information about lobbies and player status
- to allow lobby code sharing, only if the user has enabled that function
- to receive, manage, edit and reply to bug reports, player reports and support requests
- to allow the user to see reports already sent in the mod
- to allow the user to edit or remove their reports from the dedicated section
- to allow administrators to reply to, manage or delete reports server-side
- to analyze technical logs in order to fix bugs, errors or mod incompatibilities
- to manage reports related to players, cheats, abuse or misuse of the mod
- to send server messages to the mod through popups
- to manage popup reminders at configurable intervals, for example 1, 3, 5, 9, 12 or 24 hours
- to prevent abuse, spam, false reports, harassing behavior or misuse of the service
- to protect the server, the mod, the users and the BANMOD project
6. Legal basis for processing
Depending on the case, processing is based on:
- the performance of a service requested by the user, such as using the mod, sending reports, requesting support or receiving technical messages
- the legitimate interest of the controller in the security of the service, prevention of abuse, moderation of content, technical management of the mod and bug fixing
- the user’s consent, where required for specific functions, such as lobby code sharing
7. Provision of data
The provision of certain technical data is necessary to use the functions connected to the server.
- without token, mod ID or friend code, some mod functions may not work correctly
- without the required fields in reports, bug reports or player reports cannot be sent
- bug reports require title, game mode and bug description
- if the user indicates the use of custom roles or other mods, they must specify which ones
- player reports require selecting the player and indicating the reason for the report
- BepInEx logs are sent automatically together with reports because they are necessary for the technical handling of the issue
If the required data is not provided, some functions of the mod or server may not be available.
8. Reports, replies and deletion
Reports sent through the mod may be visible:
- in the dedicated section of the mod, for the user who sent them
- in the panel or server system used by the controller
- in the Discord server connected to the project, if configured for report management and administrative notifications
The user may, where the function is available:
- view sent reports
- see the report status
- read any administrator replies
- edit certain report contents
- remove or delete the report from their own section in the mod
The controller or authorized administrators may:
- view received reports
- read attached technical logs
- reply to reports
- update report status
- delete reports server-side and user-side, when necessary
Deletion requested or performed by the user may not always result in the immediate deletion of every technical copy, if temporary retention is necessary for security, abuse prevention, technical verification, moderation or protection of the service.
9. Discord and administrative notifications
Some communications, reports or administrative notifications may be managed through a Discord server connected to the BANMOD project.
Discord is an external platform. Data processed directly by Discord is subject to Discord’s own terms and privacy notices.
In the Discord server, authorized administrators may see information necessary to manage reports or notifications, such as report type, title, description, friend code, player name, data of the reported player, report status and administrator reply.
If Telegram notifications or other internal notification systems are configured, these tools are used only for administrative and technical purposes, such as notifying the arrival of new reports, support requests or relevant messages.
10. Server messages, popups and reminders
The server may send messages to the mod, such as technical notices, important communications, service-related notifications or information for users.
These messages may be displayed in the mod through popups.
The system may record:
- message ID
- technical signature of the message
- confirmation that the popup was displayed or closed
- configured reminder interval
Reminder intervals may include:
- 1 hour
- 3 hours
- 5 hours
- 9 hours
- 12 hours
- 24 hours
This data is used to avoid showing the same message continuously before the configured interval expires. If the content of the message changes, the system may treat it as a new message and display it again.
11. Data retention
Data is kept for the time necessary for the purposes indicated above.
In particular:
- technical mod client data: for the time necessary for operation of the service, security and access management
- reports, replies, logs and technical attachments: for the time necessary to handle the report, solve the issue and protect the service
- closed or no longer necessary reports: may be deleted or anonymized after a reasonable period, depending on technical and organizational needs
- data related to popup messages and read confirmations: for the time necessary to manage reminders and communications
- abusive, offensive, irrelevant or inappropriate content or files: may be removed earlier where necessary for moderation, security or protection of the service
The user may request deletion of data concerning them by writing to the email address indicated in this policy.
12. Moderation, abuse and security
The controller reserves the right to:
- delete reports, attachments, messages or content not relevant to the mod
- remove offensive, threatening, discriminatory or inappropriate content
- remove false, abusive, duplicate or harassing reports
- block friend codes, mod IDs, clients, players, email addresses or other identifiers used in a harassing, abusive or cheat/exploit/bypass-related way
- limit, suspend or revoke technical tokens, API access, online verification, server messages, online functions or other services connected to BANMOD where necessary to prevent abuse or protect the service
- adopt technical and organizational measures to protect the website, mod, server, Discord and users
To apply these measures, technical data such as mod ID, API token, friend code, hashed PUID where available, player ID, client status, mod version, report data and technical logs may be used. These measures are intended for security, moderation, abuse prevention, spam prevention, false report prevention, manipulated request prevention, malicious client prevention and bypass-attempt prevention.
Each user is responsible for the content they send through the mod, Discord or other channels connected to the project.
The controller does not approve or endorse unlawful, offensive, racist, threatening or otherwise improper reports, messages or content sent by users and reserves the right to remove them when detected or reported.
13. Automated and semi-automated access checks
For security, moderation, abuse-prevention and service-protection purposes, BANMOD may use automated or semi-automated technical checks.
These checks are used to protect the official BANMOD build, APIs, technical tokens, online verification, reports, server messages, anti-abuse systems and other server-side features from cheat menus, malicious clients, exploit tools, manipulated requests, API abuse, bypass attempts, spam, false reports or other misuse.
These checks may use technical identifiers and data connected to the operation of the service, such as mod ID, API token, friend code, hashed PUID where available, player ID, client status, mod version, language, region, platform, report data, server message data and technical logs.
The possible consequences may include limitation, suspension or revocation of API access, technical tokens, online verification, report features, server messages, moderation tools, anti-abuse systems, connected services or other official BANMOD features.
In serious cases, the official BANMOD build may limit or disable some or all connected features in order to protect the server, the project and other users.
These checks are not used to sell personal data or for marketing purposes. They are used for security, technical management, moderation, abuse prevention and service protection.
If a user believes that a restriction was applied by mistake, they may contact the controller using the email address provided in this Privacy Policy.
14. Recipients of the data
The data is not sold or transferred to third parties for commercial or marketing purposes.
However, the following may be involved where necessary:
- the private hosting service used by the controller
- the Discord server connected to the BANMOD project
- any bots or administrative notification systems, such as Discord bots or Telegram bots
- any technical providers strictly necessary for the operation of the website, the mod, the server and communications
Links to PayPal, Buy Me a Coffee or other external services redirect to external platforms. The controller does not directly manage the data entered by the user on those platforms: when the user opens those links, the processing of data is governed by the respective privacy notices of the external services.
15. Data transfers to third countries
The controller does not voluntarily disclose data to third parties for its own marketing or profiling purposes.
However, some technical services or external platforms, such as hosting, Discord, Telegram, PayPal or Buy Me a Coffee, may process data outside the European Union according to their own technical conditions and privacy notices.
16. Security
The controller adopts reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the data processed.
The system may use tokens/API access, access controls, technical logs, blocks, limitations and moderation tools to reduce abuse, unauthorized access or misuse of the service.
The user should avoid sending unnecessary information, sensitive data, passwords, personal tokens or irrelevant content in reports or messages.
17. Minors
The website and the mod concern Among Us, but the game rating does not replace privacy rules applicable to online services.
The service is not intended for users who have not reached the minimum age required by the law applicable in their country for the use of online services. If local law requires the involvement or authorization of a parent or guardian, the user must use the service only in compliance with that requirement.
18. User rights
The user may request, within the limits provided by law:
- access to their personal data
- rectification of inaccurate data
- deletion of data
- restriction of processing
- objection to processing in the cases provided by law
- data portability, where applicable
- withdrawal of consent, if processing is based on consent
The user also has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority.
To exercise their rights, the user may write to:
