PRIVACY POLICY – GONST BOT

Last updated: May 28, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected when you use the GONST Discord bot (the “Bot”), operated by Ghost In 4K (the “Bot Owner”).

By using the Bot, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must cease all use of the Bot immediately.

1. Information We Collect

The GONST bot may collect the following types of information:

* User IDs (Discord ID numbers) to track usage, XP systems, moderation records, and custom roles.

* Message content only when explicitly required (e.g., through user commands such as reports or ticket creation).

* Server metadata, such as server ID and channel IDs, for proper functionality across different servers.

The bot does not collect or store:

* Private messages (DMs) unless explicitly authorized.

* Sensitive personal information (e.g., IP addresses, names, emails, passwords).

2. How We Use the Information

Collected information is used solely to:

* Provide core bot functionalities (XP, moderation, ticket system, custom roles, events).

* Ensure server safety and moderation enforcement.

* Improve user experience and provide personalized features.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell or share any user data with third parties. Data is only accessible to:

* The Bot Owner (Ghost In 4K).

* Approved administrators responsible for maintaining the bot.

* Discord Inc., in accordance with their own privacy terms.

4. Data Retention

Data is retained only as long as necessary to provide Bot services. Upon removal of the Bot from a server or user request (via ticket), stored data may be deleted manually within 30 days.

5. Your Rights

As a user, you have the right to:

* Request information about what data is stored about you.

* Request deletion of your data by contacting the Bot Owner via a support ticket in the GONST server.

6. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect data from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of stored data.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Bot is not intended for users under 13 years of age. Use of the bot in violation of Discord's age restrictions may result in a ban or data removal.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be posted in the GONST Discord server. Continued use of the Bot after updates constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
