Privacy Policy
Last updated November 2, 2026
This policy explains what Warden (the “Bot”) and this moderation dashboard collect, why, and what control you have over it. It covers data processed inside Discord servers and data stored when you sign in here.
01Summary
- We process only what moderation needs: server and member identifiers, message content the automod evaluates, and the actions taken.
- We never sell your data and never use it for advertising.
- Message content is kept briefly for logs and then discarded.
- Removing the Bot or asking us deletes your stored configuration.
02What we collect
When the Bot operates in a server, we may store:
- Identifiers — server (guild) ID, channel ID, role ID, and Discord user IDs of members and moderators.
- Profile basics — usernames and display names, so logs and cases are readable.
- Message content — only messages evaluated by an enabled automod rule, retained briefly for review and deleted automatically.
- Moderation records — warnings, timeouts, kicks and bans, with the reason and the moderator who applied them.
- Configuration — the rules, thresholds and channels your administrators set here.
When you sign in to the dashboard, we collect your account email address and, if you provided one, your display name.
03Why we use it
- To run automod, apply the actions you configured, and keep a moderation log.
- To show your servers, rules and cases in the dashboard.
- To investigate abuse, fix faults, and keep the service secure.
- To meet legal obligations where they apply.
We do not profile members, build advertising audiences, or sell any of this data.
04Legal bases
Where data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on the legitimate interests of server operators in keeping their communities safe, on the performance of our service to you, and on your consent where we ask for it. Server administrators are responsible for ensuring they have a lawful basis to enable moderation in their server.
05How long we keep it
- Message content — deleted automatically after a short review window, typically 30 days or less.
- Moderation cases — kept until a server administrator deletes them or the server is removed from the dashboard.
- Server configuration — kept while the server is registered here.
- Dashboard accounts — kept while your account exists.
06Who we share it with
We share data only with the providers needed to operate the service: Discord (which delivers events and messages to the Bot) and our hosting and database providers, who process data on our instructions. We may also disclose data if legally required or to protect the rights and safety of others. We do not sell personal data.
07Security
Access to configuration and moderation records is restricted to the account that created it. Data is transmitted over encrypted connections and stored on managed infrastructure. No service is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
08Your rights and choices
- Ask for a copy of the data we hold about you or your server.
- Ask us to correct or delete it.
- Object to processing, or withdraw consent where consent is the basis.
- Server administrators can delete rules and cases, and remove a server from the dashboard at any time.
Members who want a moderation record removed should first contact the staff of the server where it was created. If you cannot resolve it there, contact us.
09Deleting your data
Removing the Bot from a server stops all processing for that server. To have stored configuration, logs and cases deleted, email us from the address associated with your dashboard account and tell us which server IDs to erase. We action deletion requests within 30 days, except where we must retain something by law.
10Children
The Bot is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child’s data has reached us, contact us and we will delete it.
11International transfers
Our providers may process data in countries other than yours. Where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
12Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the Bot changes. The “last updated” date above always reflects the current version, and significant changes will be announced where practical.
