Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

DisGuard ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Discord bot. Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your data.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information necessary for the Bot to function properly, including:

• Discord Server IDs and server configuration settings
• Discord User IDs for verification and moderation purposes
• Role IDs for automated role assignment
• Channel IDs for logging and verification messages
• Verification attempts and timestamps
• Moderation actions and logs
• Configuration preferences set by server administrators

We do not collect message content, personal information beyond Discord IDs, or any data not necessary for the Bot's core functionality.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide and maintain the Bot's verification and moderation services
• Process verification requests and grant appropriate roles
• Log moderation actions for server administrators
• Maintain server-specific configuration settings
• Improve and optimize the Bot's performance
• Detect and prevent abuse or violations of our Terms of Service
• Respond to support requests and technical issues

4. Data Storage and Security

We store your data securely using industry-standard encryption and security practices. Our database is hosted on secure servers with restricted access. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. Server configuration data is retained while the Bot is active in your server. Verification logs and moderation records may be retained for a reasonable period to maintain security and prevent abuse. When you remove the Bot from your server, we will delete or anonymize your data within a reasonable timeframe, except where we are required to retain it by law.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your data to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• With your consent or at your direction
• To comply with legal obligations, court orders, or government requests
• To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with notice to affected users)
• With service providers who assist in operating the Bot (under strict confidentiality agreements)

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your data, including:

• The right to access the data we hold about you
• The right to request correction of inaccurate data
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to object to or restrict certain processing activities
• The right to data portability

To exercise these rights, please contact us through our Discord support server. Server administrators can manage most settings through the Bot's dashboard.

8. Children's Privacy

The Bot is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction to use Discord). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child without proper consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

9. Third-Party Services

The Bot operates on Discord's platform and is subject to Discord's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We recommend reviewing Discord's privacy practices. Our Bot may interact with Discord's API but does not integrate with other third-party services that would have access to your data.

10. International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy with a new "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Bot after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

12. Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us through our Discord support server at discord.gg/xnsybUwrTy. We will respond to your inquiry as soon as reasonably possible.
