This Privacy Policy describes how MadeByWeb (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and safeguards information in connection with your use of BiomeFinder.net and any other digital tools, platforms, or services operated by MadeByWeb (collectively, the “Services”).
MadeByWeb is a technology company that develops and maintains multiple online tools, gaming utilities, and digital utility platforms. BiomeFinder.net — our Minecraft Biome Finder tool — is one of these platforms, designed to help players quickly locate Minecraft biomes using seed-based search technology.
By accessing or using any MadeByWeb Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Services immediately.
SECTION 01
Information We Collect
When you use BiomeFinder.net or any MadeByWeb platform, certain information may be collected automatically or provided voluntarily. We only collect what is necessary to deliver and improve our Services.
Usage & Technical Data
We may automatically collect your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, device identifiers, and pages visited. This data is used strictly for security, diagnostics, and performance analysis.
Tool Input Data
When you use the Minecraft Biome Finder, inputs such as Minecraft seed values, selected versions, and search parameters may be processed temporarily. We do not store or associate this data with individual users.
Cookies & Tracking Signals
We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to recognize returning visitors, serve relevant advertising, and understand traffic patterns. You may control cookies through your browser settings.
Voluntarily Provided Information
If you contact us via email or an inquiry form, we collect the information you provide — such as your name and email address — solely to respond to your inquiry.
Advertising Signals
Our advertising partners may collect pseudonymous identifiers and behavioral signals to serve interest-based ads. These partners operate under their own privacy policies and data agreements.
Analytics & Behavioral Data
We use analytics services (including Google Analytics) to collect aggregated, anonymized data about how users interact with our site — such as session duration, click paths, and feature engagement.
SECTION 02
How We Use Information
MadeByWeb uses the information collected to operate, maintain, and continuously improve our Services. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. The following outlines the specific purposes for which data is used.

Performance Monitoring & Diagnostics
To identify and resolve technical issues, monitor uptime, analyze tool performance, and ensure a stable experience across all devices and browsers.
Analytics & Product Improvement
To understand how users interact with our platforms, which features are most used, and where improvements can be made — using aggregated and anonymized data only.
Advertising & Revenue Support
To serve contextually relevant or interest-based advertisements through authorized partners, helping to fund the continued free availability of MadeByWeb’s tools.
Legal Compliance & Security
To detect and prevent fraudulent, abusive, or unauthorized activity; to comply with applicable laws and legal obligations; and to enforce our Terms & Conditions.
Communication & Support
To respond to user inquiries, privacy requests, or reported issues submitted directly to MadeByWeb through available contact channels.
SECTION 03
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
BiomeFinder.net uses cookies and similar tracking technologies, including web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage, to enhance your experience and support platform operations. Below is a breakdown of the cookie categories in use.
ESSENTIAL
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Required for the website to function properly. These cannot be disabled. They support core features such as session management, security enforcement, and page rendering.
ANALYTICS
Analytics Cookies
Set by Google Analytics and similar services to measure traffic, session behavior, and usage patterns. Data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
ADVERTISING
Advertising Cookies
Used by authorized advertising partners to serve relevant ads based on your browsing behavior. These may track your activity across websites over time.
FUNCTIONAL
Functional & Preference Cookies
Allow the website to remember your preferences (such as tool settings or region selection) to deliver a personalized and consistent experience on return visits.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control or disable cookies at any time through your browser’s settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete cookies after each session. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of BiomeFinder.net.
For opt-out tools from major advertising networks, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) consumer opt-out tool. Google Analytics can also be disabled using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
SECTION 04
Third-Party Services
MadeByWeb integrates with a number of trusted third-party services to support analytics, advertising, and platform infrastructure. Each third party operates under its own privacy policy and data handling standards. We encourage you to review their policies directly.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with
BiomeFinder.net. This service collects anonymized usage data, including
page views, session duration, and traffic sources. You may opt out via
the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on. Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
Google AdSense & Advertising Partners
We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense or other authorized advertising networks. These partners may use cookies and device identifiers to deliver interest-based advertising. Ad serving partners adhere to industry standards such as IAB guidelines and applicable data protection laws.
Hosting & Infrastructure Providers
BiomeFinder.net is hosted on third-party cloud infrastructure providers. These providers may process server-level data (such as IP addresses and request logs) as part of normal hosting operations. Such providers are bound by strict data processing agreements and do not use this data for independent purposes.
Content Delivery Networks (CDN)
We use CDN services to deliver static assets (scripts, stylesheets, fonts) faster and more reliably. These services may process request metadata in transit. All CDN providers used by MadeByWeb operate under industry-standard security and privacy controls.
MadeByWeb is not responsible for the data practices of third-party services. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of each service listed above before using our platform if you have concerns about third-party data collection.
SECTION 05
Data Security
MadeByWeb takes the protection of user data seriously and employs industry-standard technical and organizational measures to safeguard information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
Our Security Practices
BiomeFinder.net is served exclusively over HTTPS using TLS encryption, ensuring that data transmitted between your browser and our servers remains secure in transit. Our infrastructure is maintained by reputable cloud hosting providers with enterprise-grade physical and network security controls.
We apply the principle of data minimization — we only collect what is necessary and retain it only as long as required for the stated purpose. We do not maintain databases of personal user profiles, and tool input data (such as seed queries) is processed ephemerally and not persisted to long-term storage.
While we strive to implement robust security measures, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to promptly addressing any known vulnerabilities or incidents that may arise.
Encrypted Connections:
All pages on BiomeFinder.net are delivered via HTTPS/TLS, protecting data in transit from interception.
No Unnecessary Data Retention: We do not store personal information beyond what is operationally required. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymized form only.
Restricted Internal Access: Access to any operational data is limited to authorized personnel at MadeByWeb on a strict need-to-know basis.
Third-Party Vetting: All third-party service providers used by MadeByWeb are evaluated
for their security and privacy practices prior to integration.
To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us at the address provided in Section 09 below. We will respond to all verified requests within 30 days. Certain rights may be limited by applicable law or legitimate operational necessity.
SECTION 06
User Rights & Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain legal rights regarding your personal information. MadeByWeb respects these rights and is committed to honoring them to the extent applicable under law.
Right to Access
You may request information about what personal data MadeByWeb holds about you, how it is used, and with whom it is shared.
Right to Deletion
You may request deletion of any personal data we hold about you, subject to any legal obligations requiring its retention.
Right to Correction
If you believe any information we hold about you is inaccurate, you have the right to request its correction or amendment.
Right to Opt Out
You may opt out of interest-based advertising through browser settings, NAI/DAA opt-out tools, or by managing your cookie preferences directly.
Right to Portability
Where applicable, you may request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format to transfer to another service.
Right to Object
You may object to certain processing activities, including direct marketing or profiling, where such processing is not required by law.
SECTION 07
Children’s Privacy
MadeByWeb is committed to protecting the privacy of younger internet users. While BiomeFinder.net is a tool designed for use by Minecraft players of all ages, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable minimum digital age in your jurisdiction).
Our Commitment to Younger Users
BiomeFinder.net does not require account registration, user logins, or the submission of personal information to use any of its core features. The Minecraft Biome Finder tool operates without collecting individually identifiable data from any user, regardless of age.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that your child has inadvertently provided personal information to MadeByWeb — for example through a contact form submission — please contact us immediately using the details in Section 09. We will promptly review the situation and delete any such information as appropriate.
We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States and relevant children’s data protection regulations in other jurisdictions. Third-party advertising displayed on BiomeFinder.net is configured to comply with applicable child-directed advertising standards.
SECTION 08
Changes to This Privacy Policy
MadeByWeb reserves the right to update, revise, or replace this Privacy Policy at any time as our Services evolve, as applicable laws change, or as we refine our data practices. All changes will be effective upon posting to this page.
When material changes are made, we will update the “Last Updated” date prominently displayed at the top of this page. For significant changes that may substantially affect how your data is used, we may also post a notice on the BiomeFinder.net homepage or communicate through other appropriate channels.
Your continued use of BiomeFinder.net or any MadeByWeb Service following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any modifications, you must discontinue your use of our Services. We encourage all users to review this policy periodically to stay informed of how we protect your information.
