The instance is guaranteed to be running an exact copy of the code made open source. The version may not be the latest available (check /about), but no local changes will be made. This may change, but users should be notified in the Discord server about such change.
You may check the source code and see how the data is managed, in addition to the following policy.
BallsDex collects the following data from Discord:
- User IDs, this is used to identify you inside our database
- Server (or guild) IDs, this is used to store settings necessary to the bot's operation
- Channel IDs, this is used to know in which channel should the collectibles spawn
In addition, the following data proper to BallsDex is created and used:
- The list of collectibles owned by a user of the service
- A history of trades done on collectibles, including the users that once owned the said collectible but do not anymore
All data is stored on a PostgreSQL server, running on a Virtual Private Machine hosted by Oracle Corportation.
Interaction between the bot and the database server is exclusively local using Tortoise ORM.
The only persons allowed to access the data are the application owners.
Any application owner may interact with the bot and the administrator interface. Only El Laggron#0260 has direct access on the host machine.
The BallsDex moderation teams do not have access to the data.
The data may never be made available to the public, and its access must be secured accordingly.
You may request a copy or the delection of your personal data held by the application by contacting the application owners. The recommended way is sending an email to "ballsdex (at) laggron (dot) red". You may find other means of contact here.
