Effective Date: June 27, 2024

PaymentsBot ("we," "us," or "our") is a Discord bot developed to facilitate near-native cryptocurrency payments within Discord. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your information in connection with your use of our Service ("Service"). We take the privacy of our users very seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information. This policy is intended to be transparent and easy to understand, but due to the nature of legal documents, it may contain some technical language. If you have any questions after reading this policy, please don't hesitate to contact us using the methods described in the "Contact Us" section below.

Information We Collect

We collect a limited amount of information in connection with your use of the Service. It's important to understand what we do collect, and more importantly, what we don't collect.

We Collect:

  • Discord User ID: We collect your Discord user ID to associate it with your transactions and wallet information. This is necessary for the core functionality of PaymentsBot.

  • Cryptocurrency Wallet Addresses: We store the cryptocurrency wallet addresses you use for transactions through our Service.

  • Transaction Data: We collect data related to the transactions you perform using PaymentsBot, including transaction amounts, timestamps, and involved wallet addresses.

We DO NOT Collect:

  • Private Keys or Seed Phrases: We never ask for or store your cryptocurrency private keys or seed phrases. These should always be kept secret and never shared.

  • Personal Identification Information: We don't collect personal information such as your real name, email address, or physical address.

  • IP Addresses: We don't collect or store your IP address.

  • Content of Discord Messages: The content of your Discord messages is private, and we don't access it in any way beyond the specific commands used to interact with PaymentsBot.

Why We Collect This Information

We only collect the information necessary to provide the core functionality of PaymentsBot. We believe in a privacy-focused approach and avoid collecting any data beyond what's strictly required for the Service to function.

Use of Information

The information we collect is used for the following purposes:

  • Provide and Operate the Service: We use your Discord user ID, wallet addresses, and transaction data to facilitate cryptocurrency payments and provide you with transaction history.

  • Improve the Service: We may use anonymized and aggregated data to improve the Service and develop new features. However, we will never use any information that can be traced back to you personally for this purpose.

  • Security and Fraud Prevention: We may use transaction data to detect and prevent fraudulent activities or misuse of our Service.

Sharing of Information

We understand that you may be concerned about who we share your information with. Here's our policy:

  • We do not sell any of the information we collect to third parties.

  • We may share anonymized, aggregated data with our partners or service providers to help us operate and improve the Service.

  • We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

  • In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred. We will provide notice before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

Security Measures to Protect Your Information

We take significant steps to secure the information we collect against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Encryption: All data transmissions between you and our Service are encrypted using industry-standard protocols.

  • Secure Storage: Your information is stored in secure databases protected by multiple layers of security.

  • Limited Access: Only authorized personnel have access to the systems where your information is stored, and access is granted on a need-to-know basis.

  • Regular Security Audits: We conduct regular security audits and stay updated on the latest security best practices.

Your Choices

You have control over your information:

  • Manage Wallet Addresses: You can add, edit, or delete your pending cryptocurrency wallet addresses at any time using PaymentsBot commands.

  • Account Deletion: You can request the complete deletion of your account and associated data by contacting our support team.

Data Retention

Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete that information.

International Transfers

The information we collect may be transferred to and stored in servers located outside of your country of residence. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to these jurisdictions, which may have different data protection rules than your country.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. Your continued use of the Service after the posting of the revised Privacy Policy indicates your acceptance of the changes.
