Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 13, 2026

1. Controller

Automod's developer, NotFromParis. Contact: [email protected].

2. Data we process

• Servers: server ID and name, Automod settings (enabled modules, sensitivities, chosen channels and roles, command permissions, welcome/goodbye messages, role menus), IDs of the owner, of the member who added the bot and of bot administrators.
• Automod support server: if a server's owner (or the member who added the bot) is also a member of Automod's official support server, they automatically get a role there based on their servers' plan (User, Pro user or Max user). This role is visible to other members of the support server; it changes with the plan and is removed when Automod leaves their servers.
• Sanctions: member ID and username, sanction type, reason, duration, date, moderator ID; for automatic sanctions, an excerpt of the message (max 300 characters) and the channel.
• Moderation tracking: repeat-offence counters, temporary warnings, staff notes, ongoing summons.
• Server security (if enabled by the server): the server's audit log (who created, deleted or edited a channel or role, banned or kicked someone, added a bot, edited the server) is read in real time; only a per-member counter stays in memory for 15 minutes. The account creation date is checked on join (new accounts). The captcha code stays in memory during verification. Members, roles and channels bypassed by the server (with the optional end date and who added them) are stored in its settings.
• Message content: analysed in real time to detect spam, raids, dangerous links, insults, sexual content, personal data and scams. It is not stored, except the excerpt attached to a sanction and the logs the server chose to post in its own channels. Minimal technical data (time and channel of recent messages) stays in memory for a few minutes for spam detection.
• Joins and leaves: used for logs, anti-raid (account age) and the server's welcome/goodbye messages.
• Subscriptions: server ID, plan, subscription status and end date, Stripe customer and subscription IDs, SumUp payment ID (or Discord entitlement), Discord ID of the subscriber and proof of acceptance of the terms (account, date, terms version). Payment details are handled only by Stripe, SumUp or Discord; no Discord data (server name or ID, username) is sent to SumUp.
• Web dashboard (log in with Discord): with your consent on Discord's page, Automod receives your ID, username, avatar and your server list with your permissions (« identify » and « guilds » scopes), only to show the servers you can manage. Kept in memory for the session (7 days at most), never written to disk, deleted on logout or bot restart. One strictly necessary session cookie (« am_sid »); no analytics or advertising cookies.

3. Artificial intelligence

Only if the server has the Max plan and enabled the AI mode for a module: the analysed message, up to three previous messages from the same author in the channel and the message it replies to are sent to Mistral AI (France, EU), which only returns a verdict. Automod keeps that verdict in memory for at most 10 minutes and uses it for nothing else.

Server AI key (dashboard → Developer): a server can plug in its own key from an AI provider (for example Mistral AI, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google…). The same data as above is then sent to that provider, chosen by the server and bound by its own terms, instead of Mistral AI. The key is encrypted before being stored, never shown again (only its last 4 characters) nor written to logs, and deleted as soon as the server removes it.

4. Purposes and legal basis

Moderating and securing servers and providing the features they enabled (legitimate interest); managing paid subscriptions (performance of a contract); keeping the bot running and secure (legitimate interest).

5. Retention

Settings, sanctions and moderation tracking: as long as Automod is on the server, or until deletion is requested. Anti-spam technical data: a few minutes, in memory only. AI verdicts: at most 10 minutes, in memory only. Ended subscriptions: removed about 45 days after they end.

6. Sharing

Data is never sold, rented or used for advertising. It is only shared with providers required to run the service: Discord, the bot's hosting provider (EU), Mistral AI or the AI provider chosen by the server (AI mode), Stripe and SumUp (payments), Cloudflare (secure delivery of the web dashboard). Moderation logs are posted in the server's own channels.

7. Direct messages

Automod only sends direct messages to notify a member of a sanction, to send a welcome message if the server enabled it, to explain to a too-new account why it was kicked on join (if the server enabled that protection), and for exceptional announcements from the developer to server owners and administrators.

8. Your rights

You can request access to, correction or deletion of your data, or object to its processing, by writing to [email protected] (include your Discord ID and the server). You may also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.

9. Children

Discord is only available from the minimum age set by its terms. Automod collects no other data than described here, whatever the member's age.

10. Security and changes

Data is stored on the bot's hosting and accessible only to the developer. This policy may change; the last update date is shown at the top of this page.
