Welcome to TalkNet! This Privacy Policy explains how TalkNet (the Discord bot) handles information provided through the Discord platform. TalkNet respects your privacy and is designed with user safety and data minimization in mind.
1. Information We Access
TalkNet interacts with the Discord API and only accesses data that is essential for the bot’s functionality. This includes:
- User IDs and Server IDs – used to identify users and servers where the bot operates.
- Message content – temporarily accessed only when needed for moderation systems (e.g., bad word or malicious link detection).
- Command usage – used to respond to commands such as economy or chat features.
2. Data Storage
TalkNet does not permanently store any sensitive or personal information. Minimal data (like balances, achievements, or configuration settings) may be stored to support bot functionality within Discord. No external databases or analytics platforms are used to collect user data outside Discord.
3. No Personal Data Collection
TalkNet does not request, collect, or store any personal data such as names, emails, passwords, or IP addresses. All communication occurs through Discord’s platform, and any personal data is managed under Discord’s Privacy Policy.
4. Data Ownership
All data accessed by TalkNet belongs to Discord users and servers. TalkNet acts only as a functional intermediary through Discord’s API. The bot does not share, sell, or rent any user data to third parties.
5. Moderation and Safety
TalkNet includes moderation and safety tools such as swear-word filtering, anti-link detection, and ban systems to help server administrators keep communities safe. These tools operate automatically and do not involve any human review of messages unless explicitly logged by server admins or reported through the bot.
When a TalkNet chat connection (conversation between users or servers) is reported, the messages from that connection may be stored temporarily or permanently for moderation, investigation, or enforcement purposes. These records are used solely to review abuse, harassment, or rule violations and are never shared publicly.
Reported connection logs cannot be deleted or modified upon request, as they may be required for security, moderation, or compliance with Discord’s safety policies. Only authorized TalkNet developers or moderators have access to these records.
6. Third-Party Services
TalkNet does not use external advertising or tracking services. It runs entirely through Discord’s systems. Users should also review Discord’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for details on Discord’s own data handling.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect improvements or new features. Any major changes will be posted here, and continued use of TalkNet after updates means you accept the revised policy.
8. Contact
If you have any concerns or questions regarding this Privacy Policy, you can reach us through our Support Server.
9. Data Retention and Analytics
Economy balances, achievements, and configuration data are retained indefinitely to preserve functionality. TalkNet also collects limited anonymous statistics (such as command usage and emoji frequency) to improve performance. No personal or identifying data is ever included.
