Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24 October 2026

The short version. RadenkovBot stores only what its features need: your Discord ID next to things like your level, warnings or birthday, plus each server's settings. We don't sell data, show ads or read DMs you don't send us. Message text is processed live for features like AutoMod and is not saved, except where a feature exists to save it (for example tags or tickets). You can ask us to delete your data at any time.

1. Who we are

RadenkovBot ("the bot", "we", "us") is a Discord bot and website run by M. Radenkov. This policy covers the bot, its web dashboard at bot.radenkov.xyz/dashboard and this website. It applies to everyone who uses the bot, including members of servers where it has been added.

2. What we collect

We only collect data when a feature needs it. Most of it is tied to your Discord user ID and the ID of the server it belongs to.

Discord information

  • User, server, channel, role and message IDs.
  • Your username, display name and avatar, read from Discord when a command needs to show them. We don't keep a copy except where noted below.

Data created by the features you or your server use

  • Server settings: everything an admin configures, such as log channels, AutoMod rules, welcome messages, staff roles and premium status.
  • Activity and progress: XP and levels, message and voice-time counts for stats, reputation, invite counts (including who invited whom), and economy balances and inventories.
  • Moderation: warnings, moderation cases (the member, the moderator, the action and reason), private staff notes, and lockdown and anti-nuke state.
  • Things you choose to save: birthdays (day and month), AFK messages, reminders, tags, highlight keywords, marriages and families, giveaway entries, poll votes, suggestions, application answers and role-menu setups.
  • Support features: tickets (who opened, claimed and joined them), modmail conversations relayed between you and a server's staff, and verification attempts.
  • Confessions: confessions are posted without your name, but we store who wrote each one so a server's staff can deal with abuse. If a server turns on confession logging, its staff can see the author.
  • Backups (Premium): a copy of a server's roles, channels and their settings. Backups don't include messages.

Technical data

  • Short-lived cooldown and anti-spam counters, kept in memory for seconds to minutes.
  • Error logs on our server that can include IDs and the command that failed. We use them only to fix bugs.

We never receive your password, email address or payment details. Purchases made through Discord are handled by Discord.

3. Message content

RadenkovBot can read messages in channels it has access to. It uses them, as they arrive and without saving them, for:

  • AutoMod (spam, links, blocked words, caps, mentions, raids) and anti-nuke,
  • leveling, activity stats, counting and guessing games, autoresponders and highlights,
  • song-request channels and the AI chatbot channel, if a server sets them up.

Message text is stored only in these cases:

  • Snipe: the last few deleted or edited messages in each channel are kept in memory only so staff can use /snipe. They're gone when the bot restarts.
  • AI chatbot: up to the last 20 messages in a chatbot channel are kept in memory so it can follow the conversation. They're forgotten after 6 hours without activity or when the bot restarts.
  • Features whose purpose is to save text: tags, reminders, AFK messages, confessions, suggestions, applications, tickets and modmail.
  • Logging: if a server enables logging, the bot posts edits, deletions and other events into that server's own log channel on Discord. We don't keep a separate copy.

4. The dashboard

When you log in with Discord, Discord gives us your account name, avatar and the list of servers you're in with your permissions there. Your login lasts 7 days and uses one essential cookie. We don't use tracking or advertising cookies.

To refresh your server list without asking you to log in again, we keep the Discord access token from your login. It is encrypted, can only read your identity and server list (the identify and guilds scopes), and is revoked as soon as you log out.

The website shows live server and member counts, which are totals only and contain no personal data.

5. Why we use it

  • To provide the features you and your server's admins turn on (this is the legal basis of "performing the service you asked for").
  • To keep servers safe and stop abuse of the bot, for example AutoMod, anti-nuke and blacklisting abusers (our legitimate interest, and the server's).
  • To fix bugs and keep the bot running (legitimate interest).

We don't sell your data, use it for advertising or build profiles about you.

6. Who we share it with

We share data only with services needed to run the features, and only when those features are used:

  • Discord, which the bot runs on.
  • Anthropic (Claude), for AI features. The text you send with /ai, messages in an AI chatbot channel, messages being summarized and messages you translate are sent to Anthropic to generate a reply. Anthropic doesn't use API data to train its models by default.
  • Music services: our Lavalink audio server, YouTube, SoundCloud and Spotify (searches and links), Deezer and Apple iTunes (turning links into song names), and LRCLIB and lyrics.ovh (lyrics). They receive the song or search, not who asked.
  • Other lookups: Wikipedia and Wiktionary, Frankfurter (currency rates), a weather service, Open Trivia DB and a meme API. They receive only what you searched for.
  • YouTube and Twitch, to check channels a server has set up notifications for.
  • Hosting: ConquerHost (the server the bot and its database run on) and Netlify (this website).

We may also disclose data if the law requires it, or to protect users and the bot from serious abuse.

7. How long we keep it

  • Feature data is kept until it's deleted, either by you (for example removing a birthday or tag), by a server admin (for example resetting levels, deleting cases or turning a feature off), or by us at your request.
  • If the bot is removed from a server, that server's settings are kept so they come back if it's added again. A server owner can ask us to delete them.
  • Dashboard logins end after 7 days, or right away when you log out.
  • Database backups are kept for 7 days, then deleted.
  • In-memory data (snipe, chatbot history, cooldowns) is cleared when the bot restarts, or sooner as described above.

8. Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to:

  • see the data we hold about you,
  • correct it,
  • delete it (some data, such as moderation records, may belong to a server; we'll pass your request to its owner or remove your data where we can),
  • get a copy of it in a common format.

You can also object to how we use your data. If you're in the EU, UK or a similar region, you can complain to your data protection authority. We'd appreciate the chance to fix things first.

To make a request, contact us (see below) from the Discord account the data belongs to, or include your user ID so we can confirm it's you. We reply within 30 days.

9. Security

Data is stored in a database on our host and isn't publicly accessible. Dashboard sessions are signed, Discord tokens are encrypted, and every dashboard change requires a valid login and permission check. No system is perfectly secure, so if we ever learn of a breach that affects you, we'll tell you.

10. Children

RadenkovBot is meant for people old enough to use Discord: at least 13, or older where local law requires. We don't knowingly collect data from younger children. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we'll delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

We'll update this page when the bot's features or data use change, and update the date at the top. For important changes, we'll also post a notice in our support server.
