Learn how to Setup a Privacy Policy for your Discord Bot!

Hello! Due to a change of Discord's Developer TOS (https://discord.dev/legal) you now need a Privacy Policy for your bot! What is a Privacy Policy? According to Wikipedia, "A privacy policy is a statement or legal document that discloses some or all of the ways a party gathers, uses, discloses, and manages a customer or client's data."

What does my Privacy Policy need to Have? Please read this message for information about what your privacy policy needs to include: https://advaith.is-in-hyper.space/1faafadb0f.png

Why do I need to add this? You need a valid privacy policy in order to submit a bot on Discord Extreme List and in order to follow Discord's Developer Terms of Service.

How can I add one? Do I need a Website? No, you just need to have one accessible to your users, if that's a website page, command, link to a pastebin, etc.

What if I don't store data? You need a privacy policy that says "We do not store data" followed by a way to contact you.

I need help with this! First, have a look at some examples and read all the text above, then feel free to send a message to a staff member! Please do not ping a staff member and just wait for a reply. Thank you for the patience!
