Your Privacy Matters

This Privacy Policy explains what data Animecord (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects when you use our Discord bot and website, how we use it, and how long we keep it. We are committed to minimal data collection, transparency, and never selling your information.

What We Collect

Bot Usage Data

When you use a bot command, we store the following in our database:

  • Your Discord User ID and username
  • Total images generated (all-time counter)
  • Daily image generation count (reset at midnight UTC)
  • Timestamp of your last interaction

Security & Moderation Data

To detect and prevent abuse, we also store:

  • Content violation records — violation type, severity, and the offending prompt
  • Prompt fingerprints (hashed, not plain text) — to detect coordinated abuse across servers
  • Guild/server activity history — to detect rapid server-hopping behaviour
  • Ban records — User ID, reason, date, and the admin who issued the ban
  • Spam penalties accumulated on your account

Server Configuration

  • Guild (server) ID and its designated generation channel — set via /setchannel

Website (animecord.com)

  • Discord OAuth2 login data (User ID, username, avatar) — only when you log in
  • Session tokens stored as cookies for authenticated sessions
  • Anonymised page analytics for performance monitoring

What We Do NOT Collect

  • We do not store your generated images permanently — they are delivered and discarded
  • We do not store your raw prompts long-term (only violation records when a rule is triggered)
  • We do not track your activity outside of bot commands or website sessions
  • We do not use your data to train AI models
  • We do not sell or share your data with third parties for commercial purposes
  • We do not expose your data to other users of the bot

How We Use Your Data

  • Service delivery: Process generation commands and enforce per-user daily limits
  • Abuse prevention: Detect spam, coordinated misuse, and content policy violations
  • Moderation: Maintain ban records and manage enforcement actions
  • Performance: Monitor system health and optimise response times
  • Legal compliance: Retain records required to respond to lawful requests

Data Retention

Daily usage counters:Reset at midnight UTC; raw records purged after 7 days
Violation & security logs:Automatically deleted after 30 days
Prompt fingerprints:Purged after 24 hours (in-memory window: 1 hour)
Ban records:Stored indefinitely until manually removed by an administrator
Server configurations:Retained until the server removes the bot or requests deletion
Website session tokens:Cleared on logout or expiry
