Docs: Privacy Policy Needed
See original GitHub issueAccording to Discord’s Developer Terms of Service, any application (like this bot) that uses the API is required to have a privacy policy. We should create one (as PRIVACY.md
maybe?).
You will comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations including those applying to personally identifiable information (“PII”). You will provide and adhere to a privacy policy for your application that uses the API (your “API Client”) that clearly and accurately describes to users of your API Client what user information you collect and how you use and share such information with Discord and third parties.
A basic privacy policy should cover, at a minimum:
- What data does the bot collect (including but not limited to personal identifying information)?
- Why does the bot need the data?
- How does the bot use the data?
- Aside from Discord and the bot’s users, who do we share the data with (if anyone)?
- How can users contact us if they have concerns about the bot?
- How can users request their data be removed?
A couple of potential resources for generating a privacy policy (note that I cannot personally vouch for these and offer no warranty): https://app-privacy-policy-generator.firebaseapp.com/ https://termly.io/products/privacy-policy-generator/ https://getterms.io/ https://www.shopify.com/tools/policy-generator

We still need this, stalebot.
Maybe I’ll push up a basic one today.
Just a comment to draw attention to see and make sure it has not been forgotten 😃
