Privacy Policy

shard · Last updated: November 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what data the shard Discord bot ("the Bot") collects, why it is collected, and how you can request its deletion.

1. Data We Collect

The Bot collects and stores only the minimum data necessary for its features to function:

• Discord identifiers: User IDs, Guild (server) IDs, Role IDs, and Channel IDs.
• Server configuration: Custom prefixes, logging channels, module settings, and feature toggles configured by server administrators.
• Account links: Last.fm usernames that users voluntarily link to enable music features.
• Moderation data: Case records (warnings, timeouts, bans, mutes) created by moderators, including reasons and timestamps.
• Feature data: Level/XP progress, reminder schedules, custom autoresponders, custom scripts, and similar settings explicitly created by users.
• Usage metadata: Command usage counters and cache entries needed for rate limiting and performance.

The Bot does not permanently store message contents in a database unless a user or administrator explicitly configures it to do so (e.g., custom autoresponders or quoted message previews).

2. How We Use the Data

Data is used strictly to provide, maintain, and execute the Bot's features within Discord servers — for example, displaying whoknows leaderboards, applying configured logging channels, tracking XP, or enforcing moderation actions. We never sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for their own purposes.

3. Third-Party Services

• Discord: The Bot operates through the Discord API and is subject to Discord's own privacy policy.
• Last.fm: When you link a Last.fm account or use music features, relevant data (such as your Last.fm username and listening statistics) is requested from and sent to Last.fm's API to provide those features.

The Bot does not use advertising networks, analytics trackers, or sell user data.

4. Data Retention & Deletion

• Server configuration data is removed when the Bot leaves a server or upon administrator request.
• Cached data expires automatically after a defined period.
• Any user or server owner can request complete inspection or permanent deletion of their stored data at any time by contacting the developer (see section 7).

5. Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect stored data. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Children's Privacy

The Bot is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided data to the Bot, contact us and we will delete it.

7. Changes to This Policy & Contact

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time; the "Last updated" date reflects the current version. For data deletion requests or privacy questions, contact the developer directly on Discord: @semionme and provide your Discord User ID or Guild ID. Requests are processed within 7 days.
