Discord Bot — Specific Considerations

Discord bots operate within Discord servers and can access messages, user profiles, server membership data, and voice channel activity depending on their permissions (intents). Discord's Developer Policy requires bots to have a privacy policy accessible to server administrators before bot installation. Users in servers where your bot operates have the right to know what data the bot collects and how long it retains it.

Data typically collected by Discord Bot businesses: Discord user IDs and usernames, message content (if message content intent is enabled), server membership data, command usage logs, moderation action logs, bot configuration data per server

• Discord Developer Policy privacy policy requirement
