Privacy Policy

Welcome to Bloxiana! This Privacy Policy outlines how Bloxiana ("we," "us," "our," "the bot," "the service") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you add our bot to your Discord server or interact with its services. Please read this privacy policy carefully. By using Bloxiana, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not use the bot or its services.

1. Information We Collect

To provide and improve our services, ensure security, and for analytical purposes, we may collect the following types of information when you interact with Bloxiana:

• Server Configuration Data: This includes the Discord server ID where Bloxiana is installed and any specific settings or configurations you apply to the bot for that server.
• Command Usage Data: When you or users in your server use a bot command, we log the command that was used, the User ID of the person who invoked the command, and the Server ID where the command was used. This helps us understand feature popularity and troubleshoot issues.
• Error Log Data: If an error occurs while the bot is operating, we may collect data relevant to diagnosing and fixing that error. This data can include the nature of the error, the Server ID, and potentially the User ID of the user whose action might have triggered the error.
• User Identifiers: Discord User IDs are inherently processed when you interact with the bot (e.g., for command permissions or logging command usage).
• Guild (Server) Identifiers: Discord Server IDs are inherently processed for the bot to function within a specific server.

2. How We Use Your Information

Having accurate information permits us to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Specifically, we may use information collected about you via Bloxiana to:

• Operate and maintain the bot's functionalities and services.
• Personalize your experience with the bot according to your server's configurations.
• Monitor and analyze usage trends to improve the bot's features and user experience.
• Diagnose and troubleshoot technical problems and errors.
• Ensure the security and integrity of our services.
• Prevent abuse and enforce our terms of service.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Disclosure of Your Information

We are committed to keeping your information confidential. We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share information we have collected about you in certain limited situations:

• Compliance with Laws: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.
• Vital Interests and Legal Rights: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
• Service Operation: In rare cases, data such as Server IDs or User IDs might be visible to our direct operational team if essential for troubleshooting critical issues or maintaining service health. Access is strictly controlled and limited.

5. Security of Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.

6. Data Retention

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

• Server Configuration Data: Retained as long as the bot is a member of your server. Removing the bot from your server will lead to the deletion of this data from our active systems within a reasonable timeframe.
• Command Logs: Retained for a period necessary for monitoring usage, analytics, and troubleshooting. We periodically review and may anonymize or delete older logs.
• Error Logs: Retained for a period necessary to analyze and address errors. Older logs are periodically reviewed and may be deleted.

7. Your Rights

You have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include:

• The Right to Access: You may have the right to request copies of the personal data we hold about you related to your User ID or server.
• The Right to Erasure (Data Deletion): You may have the right to request the deletion of your personal data. Removing Bloxiana from your Discord server will typically result in the deletion of your server's specific configuration data. Requests for deletion of other data, like command logs associated with your User ID, can be made if necessary by reaching out through appropriate channels (e.g., if you have a support server or command for such requests). Please note that we may need to retain certain information for record-keeping purposes, to complete ongoing service provisions, or when required by law.

If you need to make such a request, please refer to any support channels or commands provided by the bot for data management, or if unavailable, you may need to identify an alternative contact method if one is established for the bot's administration. We may need to verify your identity or your authority over a server before processing your request.

8. Policy for Children

Bloxiana is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under this age. If we become aware that a child under this age has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last updated" date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible on this page. We encourage you to review this privacy policy frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information. We may also announce significant changes on our official Discord support server if one exists.

10. Acceptance of this Policy

By adding Bloxiana to your server or using its commands and services, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not install or use our bot. Continued use of the service following the posting of changes to this policy will be deemed your acceptance of those changes.
