Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 10, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Proto ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you use our Discord bot.

1. Information We Collect

When you use Proto, we may collect the following data to provide and improve our services:

• User Data: We store your Discord User ID to associate you with your economy profile, inventory, and user-specific settings.
• Guild Data: We store Discord Guild (Server) IDs and configuration settings tailored to your server, such as Starboard channels, Welcomer messages, and Blacklist configurations.
• Economy Data: We track virtual currency balances, inventory items, and cooldown timestamps for economy commands (Daily, Weekly, Work).
• Command Usage: We log command usage, including the command executed, the user who executed it, and the time of execution for security and analytics purposes.
• Images and Content: When you use image manipulation commands, we temporarily process the images you provide (such as avatars or attachments). These images are processed in memory or temporary storage and are not permanently saved.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain the functionality of the Bot (e.g., saving your money and items).
• To manage server-specific settings (e.g., knowing which channel to send welcome messages to).
• To prevent abuse and maintain the security of the service (e.g., enforcing blacklists).
• To diagnose and fix technical issues.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely in a database. We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners, trusted affiliates, and advertisers for the purposes outlined above.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to request the deletion of your data stored by Proto. If you wish to have your data removed:

• You may contact the bot owner directly through the bot's support channels.
• Removal of data may result in the loss of your economy progress, inventory, and settings.

6. Third-Party Services

Proto operates on the Discord platform. By using our Bot, you are also subject to Discord's Privacy Policy.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
