CounterDiscord

Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 16, 2026 · Last updated: April 16, 2026

1. Overview

CounterDiscord is a Discord analytics bot. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how it is stored, and what rights you have over it. We are committed to collecting only what is necessary to provide the service and nothing more.

Message content is never read or stored. CounterDiscord only records metadata (who sent a message, when, and where) — not what was said.

2. Data We Collect

Data type	What is stored	Why
Messages	Message ID, guild ID, channel ID, user ID, timestamp, deletion flag	Activity stats and leaderboards
Emoji usage	Emoji ID, emoji name, user ID, channel ID, timestamp, context (message/reaction)	Emoji tracking commands
Sticker usage	Sticker ID, sticker name, user ID, channel ID, timestamp	Sticker tracking commands
Voice sessions	User ID, channel ID, join time, leave time, duration in seconds	VC leaderboard
Word hits	Matched keyword, user ID, channel ID, timestamp	Tracked word commands (opt-in per server)
Interactions	From user ID, to user ID, channel ID, timestamp	Social graph (replies and mentions)
Server config	Ignored channel IDs, tracked words, background image	Per-server customization

3. Data We Never Collect

Message content or text
Direct messages (DMs)
Passwords, tokens, or credentials of any kind
Data from servers the bot is not active in
Any data from users in servers where the bot is not present

4. How Data Is Used

All collected data is used solely to generate statistics and charts displayed to members of your server through bot commands. We do not:

Sell data to any third party
Use data for advertising or marketing
Share data between servers
Build profiles on individual users outside the context of a single server's analytics

5. Data Storage and Security

All data is stored in a PostgreSQL database on a private server. Access is restricted to the bot operator. The database is not publicly accessible.

Data is isolated by server — each guild's data is stored with its guild ID and queries always filter by guild ID, so no server can access another server's data.

6. Data Retention

Data is retained for as long as the bot is active in your server. There is no automatic expiry. Upon request, all data associated with a server or individual user can be deleted — see section 7.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access — request a summary of what data is stored for your server or user ID
Deletion — request permanent deletion of all data tied to your server or user ID
Opt out — server admins can exclude channels from tracking with /ignore-channel
Stop collection — removing the bot from your server stops all future data collection immediately

To exercise any of these rights, contact the bot operator via Discord (see section 10). Requests will be handled within a reasonable timeframe.

8. Third-Party Services

CounterDiscord interacts with the following third-party services:

Discord — the platform the bot operates on. Discord's own Privacy Policy applies to all platform-level data.

No other third-party services receive your data.

9. Children's Privacy

CounterDiscord does not knowingly collect data from users under the age of 13, consistent with Discord's own minimum age requirement. If you believe a minor's data has been collected, contact us for immediate deletion.

10. Contact

For privacy requests, data deletion, or any questions about this policy, contact the bot operator via Discord. You can also open an issue on the GitHub repository.

11. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated at any time. The effective date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version. Continued use of the bot after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
