Data and Privacy

EcoHub reports server information so your account can show which servers are running which plugins, and so resource usage is measured against real installs. This page lists exactly what is sent and what is not.

What gets sent

Every 6 hours while linked, and only if send-server-stats is on:

• Server and Bukkit version, MOTD, online mode, player counts, and max players

• Memory, CPU cores, operating system, Java version, and architecture

• The list of installed Eco plugins and their versions

• A record of updates that have been installed, so EcoHub knows how often a resource is actually being used

A smaller version of the first group is also sent once, at link time, so the server can be identified on your account.

What is never sent

• Player names

• Player UUIDs

• IP addresses

Not now and not later.

Turning it off

send-server-stats: false

Update checks and installs keep working with this off. You lose the server details on your EcoHub dashboard.

Your API key

The key lives in plugins/EcoHub/link.yml.

If a key leaks, run /ecohub unlink to revoke it, then link again for a fresh one.

You can also revoke a key from the Minecraft servers section of your profile on hub.auxilor.io, which is the right move when the server itself is gone or unreachable. Each linked server shows a redacted key, when it was linked, when it was last seen, and whether it is active or revoked.

A revoked server stops receiving updates immediately. Its entry stays in the list so you can see what happened.

Chargebacks and revocation

If an EcoHub account is banned for winning a chargeback, the paid plugins tied to that account have their entitlement revoked, and this plugin deletes those jars from the server. Free plugins are never removed. Installing the plugin is what opts you into that. See How Updates Work for exactly how that behaves, including why an offline server never removes its own plugins.
