Privacy Overview

What this policy covers

Ophelia ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿป ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Discord bot services ("Services").

We believe in transparency. This policy is written in plain language so you can make informed decisions about using our Services.

By using Ophelia ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿป, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

User data icon โ€” information we collect

Information We Collect

Data collected to provide our services

We only collect data that is necessary for our Services to function properly:

3D violet user profile badge icon โ€” Discord profile data
Discord Profile
User ID, username, discriminator, avatar URL
3D indigo server rack icon โ€” server settings data
Server Settings
Guild ID and configuration settings only โ€” never channel names or member lists
3D green rising bar chart icon โ€” usage statistics
Usage Stats
XP levels, coins, and activity stats for leveling features
3D cyan chat bubble with brain emblem โ€” AI chat memory
AI Chat Memory
Important facts you share with the AI โ€” stored securely in our self-hosted database, never your full conversations
3D pink envelope with @ emblem โ€” optional email address
Email Address
Optional, via Discord OAuth consent โ€” used only for identity confirmation and Ophelia account recovery
  • No Message Content: We never store your messages โ€” all chat, moderation, and audit logs stay on Discord's own servers, not ours.
  • Authentication Data: OAuth tokens are stored securely for session management only.
  • Email Address: When you log in via the dashboard, Discord may share your email address (only if you approve it on the Discord authorization screen). We store it solely to confirm your identity and help you recover access to your Ophelia account. We do not sell it, share it with third parties, or use it for marketing. If you remove the email scope from your Discord authorized apps or request deletion, the stored email is removed with your account data.
  • Dashboard Preferences: Theme settings, language preferences stored locally.
Glowing lightbulb โ€” how your information is used

How We Use Your Information

Purpose of data processing

  • Service Provision: To operate, maintain, and provide core bot features (moderation, entertainment, utilities).
  • User Experience: To personalize your dashboard experience and remember preferences.
  • Gaming Systems: XP tracking, leaderboards, achievements, economy features.
  • Moderation: To execute and track moderation actions (warnings, mutes, bans) configured by server admins.
  • Improvement: Anonymous usage statistics to improve our services.
  • Support: To assist with troubleshooting and support requests.
Crossed heart โ€” what we never do

What We Don't Do

Our privacy promises

  • Sell Your Data: We never sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties.
  • Track Across Websites: We don't use tracking cookies or cross-site tracking.
  • Send Spam: We never send promotional messages without your consent. The only messages we may ever send are official announcements about Ophelia ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿป itself and other services developed by Deadlock Studio (our developer team) โ€” and even those always respect your consent and Discord's communication settings.
  • Share Unnecessarily: Data is only shared as described in this policy.

Your data stays with us. Period. No third-party advertisers, no data brokers, no nonsense.

Live elsewhere? The universal rights above still apply to everyone, and we honour regional requests from any jurisdiction in good faith. Discord also enforces a minimum age โ€” in some countries higher than 13 โ€” which applies to using our bot as well.

Padlock with checkmark โ€” data security

Data Security

How we protect your information

  • Encryption Everywhere: All traffic to and from our dashboard is encrypted with HTTPS/TLS, and data at rest in our self-hosted database is stored encrypted.
  • Self-Hosted Infrastructure: Our database runs on infrastructure we own and control โ€” not on any big third-party cloud. Your data never sits on someone else's managed platform.
  • Strict Access Controls: Access to production systems is limited to authorized team members only, secured with strong authentication and least-privilege principles.
  • Isolated Network: The database is not exposed to the public internet โ€” it accepts connections only from our own application inside a private network.
  • Session Security: Login sessions are signed and verified cryptographically; OAuth tokens are stored securely and used only to keep you logged in.
  • Active Monitoring: Systems are monitored around the clock, and we apply security updates promptly when they become available.
  • Discord API Compliance: All data collection follows Discord's Developer Terms of Service and the Discord Developer Policy.

No system is 100% secure. While we implement industry-standard protections, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Report any security concerns to us immediately and we will act on them with priority.

Puzzle pieces โ€” third-party services

Third-Party Services & Our Infrastructure

Who we interact with โ€” and who we don't share with

We keep third-party involvement to an absolute minimum. Here's the honest breakdown:

3D blurple mascot face โ€” Discord Inc.
Discord Inc.
Discord is our data source, not a recipient we send your data to. When you log in via Discord OAuth, Discord shares your basic profile (ID, username, avatar โ€” and email only if you approve) with us. Our bot's commands and responses pass through Discord's servers under their Privacy Policy.
3D emerald stacked database cylinders โ€” self-hosted database
Self-Hosted Database
Our database is a self-hosted PostgreSQL instance on our own private infrastructure. We do not hand your data to any database company โ€” there is no third-party database provider in the chain.
3D golden cloud above server tower โ€” private cloud infrastructure
Private Cloud Infrastructure
The bot and dashboard run on our own cloud infrastructure hosted in professional, redundant data center facilities with physical security, backup power, and network protection.
3D pink rising bars with arrow โ€” anonymous analytics
Analytics
Anonymous, aggregated usage statistics only โ€” nothing that identifies you personally.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to anyone โ€” no advertisers, no data brokers, no analytics companies. Everything is stored on infrastructure under our own control.

Scales of justice โ€” legal and government requests

Legal & Government Requests

When we may be required to disclose data

We treat your data as confidential and share it with governments or law enforcement only when we are legally required to. Specifically, we may disclose your data:

  • Valid Legal Process: To comply with a legally binding subpoena, court order, or other valid legal demand from a government or law-enforcement agency in a jurisdiction where we operate โ€” after carefully reviewing whether the request is lawful, specific, and within legal limits.
  • Rights & Safety: To protect the vital interests, rights, and personal safety of our users or the public โ€” for example investigating suspected abuse, fraud, or attacks on our infrastructure.
  • Legal Obligations & Defence: To establish or defend legal claims, or to comply with applicable law and regulatory obligations.

Transparency first: if we ever receive a legal request for your data, we will notify you beforehand wherever we are legally allowed to. We narrow every request to the minimum data legally required, and we push back on overbroad or invalid requests. Note that we hold very little data to begin with โ€” no message content ever (that stays with Discord, who publish a Transparency Report for such requests).

Guardian shielding a child under a protective dome โ€” children's privacy

Children's Privacy

Protection for younger users & parental rights

Our Services are directed at users who meet Discord's minimum age requirement โ€” 13 in most countries, and higher in some (for example 14 in South Korea, 15 in certain EU member states, 16 in some jurisdictions, 18 in some others). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children below the minimum age of their country. If we learn that we have, we delete it promptly.

We take the rights of minors and their families seriously:

  • Parent & Guardian Requests โ€” Yes: If you are a parent or legal guardian of a user under 18 (or under your country's age of digital consent), you can exercise any privacy right on their behalf โ€” including viewing their data, correcting it, or requesting full deletion. Just reach out through our support server or email with proof of guardianship, and we'll act on it.
  • Guardian Consent: Where local law requires verifiable parental consent before processing a minor's data, we rely on the fact that account creation and consent happen on Discord's platform under Discord's Terms of Service โ€” and we remove data on guardian request without argument.
  • No Targeting of Minors: We never use minors' data for profiling, advertising, or automated decision-making. Ever.
Question mark speech bubble โ€” frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common privacy questions

Yes! Open the My Stats page on your dashboard after logging in with Discord, or submit a Right to Access request and we'll send you a complete copy โ€” free of charge. Most access requests are fulfilled within 1 day.
Your profile, XP, coins, levels, and AI memory are permanently erased from our database. This is irreversible โ€” you start fresh if you return. Server configs owned by admins stay (they belong to the server, not you). Submit an Erasure request to begin.
No. We never store your message content. Chat and moderation logs live on Discord's own servers. For AI chat, we only keep the important facts you explicitly tell the bot to remember (like "my favourite colour is blue") โ€” never full conversations.
Most requests (access, correction, restriction) are completed within 1 day. More complex ones โ€” like full erasure across every server โ€” take up to 7 days. We'll always confirm once it's done.
Yes! Check the Regional Privacy Rights section above โ€” it lists exactly which extra legal protections apply in your country (GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, DPDP Act, PIPEDA, and more), with links to each law.
We run everything on self-hosted, encrypted infrastructure that we control โ€” a private database not exposed to the internet, HTTPS everywhere, strict access controls, and no third-party cloud sharing. Scroll up to the Data Security section for the full picture.
