1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use our Discord Bot ("Bot"). We are committed to transparency and to respecting your privacy in compliance with applicable data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable. By using the Bot, you acknowledge and consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Message Data

The Bot may process the content of messages sent in channels where it is active. This processing occurs to:

• Execute commands and respond to user requests.
• Perform moderation tasks (e.g., detecting rule violations).
• Enable bot features that require reading message content (e.g., keyword triggers, logging).

Message content is processed in real time and is generally not stored permanently unless a specific feature (such as message logging) requires it and has been explicitly enabled by the server administrator.

2.2 Automatically Collected Data

When the Bot operates, it may automatically collect the following types of data:

• Discord User IDs (to identify users for commands and settings).
• Discord Server (Guild) IDs and Channel IDs (to apply server-specific configurations).
• Timestamps of interactions (for logging and rate-limiting purposes).

We do not collect real names, email addresses, IP addresses, or any other personally identifiable information beyond what Discord provides through its API.

3. How We Use Your Data

Data collected by the Bot is used exclusively to:

• Provide and operate the Bot's features and functionality.
• Maintain server-specific settings and configurations.
• Detect abuse, enforce our Terms of Service, and protect users.
• Improve and debug the Bot's performance.

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.

4. Data Storage and Retention

Any data stored by the Bot is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy. Specifically:

• Message content is not stored unless a logging feature is explicitly enabled by a server administrator.
• Server configuration data (e.g., prefix settings, role assignments) is retained for as long as the Bot remains in your server.
• Upon removal of the Bot from a server, associated server data will be deleted within a reasonable timeframe.

All stored data is secured using appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties, except in the following limited circumstances:

• Legal compliance: If required by law, regulation, or valid legal process (e.g., a court order).
• Service providers: Trusted hosting or infrastructure providers who process data on our behalf, subject to appropriate data protection agreements.
• Safety: To protect the rights, safety, or property of users, third parties, or the public.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights with respect to your data:

• Right of access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Right to erasure: Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
• Right to rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Right to restriction: Request that we limit processing of your data.
• Right to object: Object to certain types of data processing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us via our official Discord support server. We will respond to all requests within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.

7. Children's Privacy

The Bot is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

8. Third-Party Services

The Bot operates within the Discord platform, which has its own Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review Discord's Privacy Policy at https://discord.com/privacy to understand how Discord handles your data independently of this Bot. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of Discord or any other third-party services.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will notify users of material changes where reasonably possible. Continued use of the Bot after any updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
