Privacy Policy
This document entails the privacy policy and agreement that you accept when adding Dust to a server, or as a member of such a server. This document does not supersede the Developer Terms of Service.
Terminology
- Server Manager - Anyone who has the ability to add a bot to a server or configure the bot for the server. This is usually an administrator or moderator
- Server Member - Anyone who is a member of server to which one of the bots has been added
- Service User - Anyone who authorizes an application (logs in) for a scope that provides additional information
Data Collected By Command
The following items may be collected and stored when intentionally provided by a user (usually by means of a command). This data will not be collected automatically. When providing data in this way, you forego any rights to the content of the data provided.
- Links to external accounts, e-mail addresses, timezones, identification information (profiles)
- Server configurations
- Archives of messages (message-content backups)
- Data and content for automated tasks (automated backups)
- Saved references, urls, or text
Data Collected When Enabled
These items will be automatically collected if a bot is configured to perform certain actions by a server manager. These features are always opt-in, and thus this data will not be collected unless the corresponding feature is enabled.
- Logs of chat messages (backups, view opt out policy below)
- List of a member's roles (role persistence)
Data Collected Automatically
This data may be collected automatically. This data is used to provide statistics or history data.
- Date and Time of Command Execution
- Any data needed for standard operation of Discord bots, such as server permissions (this data is stored in cache only while the bot is running)
Data Collected via Authorization
This data may be collected when authorizing an application, such as when logging in to a site via Discord OAuth2. This data is also outlined on the authorization page.
- Username, Discord ID, Avatar Data
- List of guilds (servers) your account is connected to
- E-mail address
- Discord account connections (such as Steam, Reddit, etc)
Data Storage
All stored data is encrypted and kept on protected/private servers. While storage methods vary, most data is kept within password-protected databases such as MongoDB or Redis. Please keep in mind that even with these protections, no data can ever be 100% secure. All efforts are taken to keep your data secure and private, but its absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Data Retention Policy
We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users' data. We follow best practices for data retention and deletion, and we regularly review and update our policies to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
- Personal Data: We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services to our users, to comply with legal obligations, or to resolve disputes.
- Server Data: We retain server data only for as long as necessary to provide our services to our servers, to comply with legal obligations, or to resolve disputes.
- Message-Backups: We retain message-backups for a period of 26 days, after which they are permanently deleted.
Feedback
Feedback on any and all provided bots and services is appreciated. When you submit comments, suggestions, bug reports, and any other forms of feedback, you forego any rights to the content, title, or intent of the provided feedback. Additionally, the feedback may be utilized in any way.
Agreement
By adding Dust to your server or using this bot in any way, you are consenting to the policies outlined in this document. In addition, you (the server manager) are agreeing to inform your members of the Developer Terms of Service and the contents of this document. If you, the server manager, do not agree to this document, you may remove the bot from the server. If you, the server member, do not agree to this document, you may leave the server that contains the bot. If you, the service user, do not agree to this document, you may revoke authorization of the application(s) in your 'Authorized Apps' menu.
Opt-Out Policy
If you wish to opt-out of any data collection or storage, please contact us at [email protected] with your request. We will remove your data from our servers as soon as possible. Please note that by opting out, you will no longer be able to use some of the features provided by Dust. Additionally, some data may still be stored on our servers in backups or logs until they are deleted in the normal course of our data retention policy.
