Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Glue Stick ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our Discord bot service. By using our service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

To provide and improve our services, we collect the following types of information:

2.1. Data for Bot Functionality

This is the data required for Glue Stick to perform its core function of "gluing" messages in a channel. This includes:

• Server and Channel Information: We store the Discord server ID and channel ID to know where to post and maintain glued messages.
• Message Content: The actual text or embed content of the message you ask the bot to glue.
• User Information: We store the Discord user ID of the person who creates or manages a glued message for administrative and support purposes.

We also maintain a history of glued messages, including who created and removed them, to ensure accountability and for support-related queries.

2.2. Data for Internal Analytics

To understand how our bot is growing and to improve our service, we collect general, non-personal information about the servers it's in. This data is for internal use only and includes:

• Aggregated server data, such as server name, member count, and region.
• Command usage patterns and feature utilization statistics.

This information helps us make informed decisions about the bot's development, analytics, performance and its security.

3. How We Use Information

Information collected is used to:

• Provide and maintain our bot service
• Improve service functionality and user experience
• Respond to user inquiries and provide support
• Ensure service security and prevent abuse
• Generate usage analytics and statistics
• Investigate and respond to reports of abuse or misuse

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties but we may share your information in the following circumstances:

• When necessary to provide our service (e.g., hosting infrastructure)
• When required by law or to protect our rights
• With your explicit consent
• User information may be disclosed to server owners or administrators when they report abuse, misuse, or violations of server rules involving our bot

5. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain data for as long as it is necessary to provide the bot's functionality. When Glue Stick is removed from a server, we begin the process of deleting associated data, such as glued messages and server information.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Third-Party Services

Our service operates on Discord's platform and may utilize third-party hosting or infrastructure services. These services have their own privacy policies and terms of service.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes by posting the updated policy with a new effective date. Continued use of our service constitutes acceptance of any changes.
