Privacy notice
Provided under Art. 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) to players of the Rust Italia server and visitors of this website. Last updated: 22 October 2026.
Data controller
The data controller is the Rust Italia staff, who run the [EU] Rust Italia game server and the website rust-italia.it. Requests about data protection can be sent by opening a ticket on the official Discord server. The controller replies within 30 days of the request.
Data processed
Players of the server
- SteamID and nickname;
- connection IP address, recorded in the server logs;
- game data: sessions and playtime, kills and deaths, raids, team membership, resources gathered, building, travel, stunts and tech progress;
- global chat: counts only (number of messages, polite and offensive words). The content of messages is never stored;
- combat and gathering data used by the anti-cheat checks.
Website visitors
- IP address and resource requested, recorded in the web server logs;
- aggregated visit statistics, with an anonymised IP address.
The website uses no cookies, no profiling tools and no third-party services. Display preferences (period, chart type) are stored only in the user's browser.
Purposes and legal basis
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Running the game server and its features (teams, welcome kit, prizes) | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Server security, prevention of cheating and abuse, enforcement of the rules | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Publishing game leaderboards and statistics on the website | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)), with the right to object |
| Security and proper operation of the website | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
Anti-cheat alerts are always reviewed by the staff: no decision is based solely on automated processing.
Data published on the website
The leaderboards show the nickname and game results. SteamIDs, IP addresses, base positions, playing times and last-seen times
are never published. Unless the player chooses !reveal, these stay anonymous: teams on the raid pages (codename),
killers and victims in the latest kills, the victims of the longest kills and the hours-played board.
More details in the guide The website and privacy.
Recipients
Data is processed on servers run directly by the controller and is not sold or disclosed to third parties. Valve (Steam), Facepunch Studios (Rust) and Easy Anti-Cheat process game-related data as independent controllers, under their own privacy notices. Messages sent through Discord are also processed by Discord Inc., an independent controller.
