Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy applies to the Discord bot "Snow" (hereinafter referred to as "the Bot") and its related services. By adding the Bot to your server or interacting with it, you consent to the data collection and usage practices described in this policy.
2. Data We Collect
To provide its core functionalities, the Bot collects and stores the following specific data points:
- Discord User IDs: Used to link saved characters to specific users, track economy balances, save RPG game progression, and log moderation actions.
- Discord Server (Guild) IDs and Channel IDs: Used to configure server-specific settings, such as moderation log channels and custom command prefixes.
- Image URLs: When a user uploads an image for a custom character avatar, the Discord attachment URL is stored.
- Virtual Economy & RPG Data: We store virtual currency balances (Snowcoins), inventory items, game statistics, badge progression, and virtual pet data linked to your User ID.
- Interaction Timestamps: We record the time of specific user interactions (e.g., claiming daily rewards, interacting with virtual pets) to enforce fair-use cooldowns.
- Transient Message Data: The Bot requires the "Message Content Intent" to read and execute text commands. Message content is processed temporarily in memory to execute commands and is not persistently stored, except when explicitly saved as a custom character name or recorded in a server's configured moderation log.
- Support Ticket Transcripts (Support Lodge Only): When a user opens a support ticket in our official server, a full HTML transcript of the conversation is generated and archived for staff review.
- Premium Status Data: If you acquire premium features, we store your Discord User ID and the expiration date of your premium status in our database to ensure continuous access to your perks.
3. How We Use Your Data
The collected data is used exclusively for the operational functionality of the Bot. This includes:
- Storing and retrieving user-created characters via the character vault.
- Managing the virtual economy systems, global leaderboards, and RPG progression features (The Lodge).
- Enforcing server moderation rules and logging moderator actions.
- Enforcing necessary rate limits and cooldowns on commands to ensure bot stability.
- Providing expected command responses.
- Providing dedicated user support and archiving ticket transcripts to resolve disputes and track bug reports.
- Actively deleting user command triggers (such as the
-say or -cshout commands) to keep chat channels clean, if granted the "Manage Messages" permission by a server administrator.
4. Data Storage and Security
Data is stored securely in an internal SQLite database hosted on our secure servers. We implement standard security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction of this data.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to any third parties. Data is only accessible to the Bot's developer and is only disclosed if required by law or to comply with Discord's Developer Terms of Service.
If you purchase premium services, your financial transactions are processed entirely by our secure third-party payment provider, Patreon. The Bot and its developer do not collect, process, or store your credit card information or billing details.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
- User Control: Users can delete their stored character data at any time using the
/char_delete command.
- Server Control: Server administrators can clear server-specific settings (like mod-logs) by disabling the feature via commands.
- Right to Erasure: If you wish to have all your data manually removed from the database, you may contact the developer directly.
