This Privacy Policy explains how Thorn (“the App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and stores data when you use the App on Discord. By using Thorn, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy.

1. What Data We Collect

Thorn only collects data that is necessary to provide functionality and improve user experience. This includes:

  • User IDs (e.g., for permissions or moderation)

  • Server IDs and channel IDs (e.g., for configuration)

  • Message content (only if necessary for bot commands or features; otherwise ignored)

  • Command usage data (e.g., logs for analytics or abuse prevention)

  • Settings and preferences you configure via the App

We do not collect personal information such as email addresses, passwords, or real names.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use collected data to:

  • Respond to commands and perform bot functions

  • Maintain server-specific settings and configurations

  • Improve performance and user experience

  • Detect and prevent abuse or malicious activity

We do not use your data for advertising or sell it to third parties.

3. Data Storage and Retention

  • Data is stored securely using [your hosting service, e.g., AWS, Heroku, etc.].

  • Only data required for the bot’s functionality is retained.

  • If you remove Thorn from your server, associated data may be deleted automatically or upon request.

4. Data Sharing

We do not share your data with any third parties, except:

  • When required by law (e.g., a legal subpoena)

  • If we integrate a third-party service and notify you in advance (none currently)

5. Your Rights

You may request:

  • A copy of the data we hold about you

  • That we remove Thorn from your server to stop all future collection

To request data deletion or inquire about your data, contact us at [your email or Discord tag].

6. Security

We use standard practices to secure your data and prevent unauthorized access. However, no system is completely immune to security risks.
