Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how SkyBot ("the Bot") collects, uses, and stores information when used within a Valour planet.

1. Information Collected

The Bot collects only the minimum data necessary to provide its intended functionality. All data is stored in-memory and is lost when the Bot restarts. The Bot does not persist any data to disk.

Information Temporarily Held in Memory:

  1. Channel IDs (for routing messages and commands)
  2. Planet IDs (for planet-specific operations)
  3. Member IDs (for moderation commands)

Information Never Stored:

  1. Message content
  2. Direct Messages ("DMs")
  3. Personal account information (including usernames, email addresses, or other personally identifiable information)
  4. Any data that persists beyond the Bot's current session

2. Purpose of Data Collection

Temporarily held information is used exclusively to:

  1. Route commands to the correct channels and planets
  2. Enable moderation commands such as ban, unban, and kick
  3. Enable core bot functionality during the current session

The Bot does not use any information for profiling, marketing, analytics, or tracking purposes.

3. Data Storage and Security

Since all data is stored in-memory only, no data is written to disk, databases, or any external storage. All temporarily held data is automatically cleared when the Bot restarts.

The Bot does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share any data with third parties.

4. Data Retention

All data is held only for the duration of the Bot's current session. No data is retained beyond a restart. There is no mechanism for long-term data storage in this Bot.

5. Self-Hosting

SkyBot is designed for self-hosting. If you choose to host your own instance of SkyBot, you are responsible for the privacy and security of any data processed by your instance. This policy applies to the official instance of SkyBot only.

6. Future Changes to Logging or Data Practices

If additional operational logging or data collection practices are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to reflect those changes prior to implementation.

Continued use of the Bot after updates to this policy constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
