How We Use Your Data

All data collected is used exclusively to operate the Bot's features within the Outlast Community Discord server. Specifically, your data is used to:

Track your XP, rank, and level progression as you participate in the server. Maintain your in-game economy balance, inventory, and trading history. Record moderation actions so staff can enforce server rules fairly and consistently. Generate ticket transcripts for staff review when support tickets are closed. Display statistics on the public leaderboard and server status pages.

Important
Your data is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes. We do not use your data for any purpose beyond operating the Bot.

Data Storage & Security

Bot data is stored in a local SQLite database on the server where the Bot is hosted. Access to this database is restricted to the Bot process and the server's administrator.

In-memory data (such as AFK status) is held in the Bot's runtime and is cleared automatically when the Bot restarts or the data expires.

While we take reasonable precautions to secure stored data, no system is completely immune to security vulnerabilities. We encourage you to use Discord's own privacy and security settings to protect your account.

Note
Ticket transcripts are posted to a private staff-only channel on Discord. This means staff members with access to that channel can read the contents of closed tickets. Please be mindful of sensitive information shared in support tickets.

Data Retention

Your data is retained for as long as it is needed to operate the Bot's features. Specifically:

XP, economy, and rank data — Retained indefinitely so your progress is preserved across sessions. You may request deletion at any time (see Section 6).

Moderation records — Retained to ensure server rules are enforced consistently. Staff may review these when handling future incidents.

Ticket transcripts — Retained in the staff transcript channel until manually deleted by an administrator.

In-memory data — Cleared automatically when the Bot restarts or the feature session ends.

Third-Party Services

The Bot integrates with the following third-party services to deliver certain features:

Discord — The Bot operates entirely within Discord's platform. All communication happens via Discord's API and is subject to Discord's Privacy Policy.

OpenAI — The AI Chat feature sends your message to the OpenAI API to generate a response. Messages sent to this feature are processed by OpenAI and are subject to OpenAI's Privacy Policy. Avoid sharing sensitive personal information through the AI Chat command.

TikTok Live — The stream notification feature monitors TikTok Live for configured streamers. No user data is sent to TikTok.

Children's Privacy

The Bot is intended for use on Discord, which requires users to be at least 13 years of age (or older depending on your country) under Discord's Terms of Service. We do not knowingly collect data from users under the applicable minimum age.

If you believe a minor has submitted data through the Bot, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action.
