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. Australia's Privacy Act 1988 and its 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) regulate how organizations with annual turnover over AUD $3 million collect, use, and disclose personal information.
