We believe in transparency. Here's exactly how we handle your data.
We never sell your data
Only what's necessary
You control your data
At YSF Utils, your privacy is a top priority. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your information when using our Discord bots and web services.
We are committed to collecting only the minimum data necessary to provide and improve our services. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes.
We collect data that is necessary for the operation of our services. Below is a detailed breakdown of the types of data we collect and their purposes.
| Data Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Discord User ID | Identify users across sessions | Until account deletion |
| Server (Guild) ID | Associate bot configurations | Bot removal + 30 days |
| Bot Configurations | Store server settings | Bot removal + 30 days |
| Command Usage | Analytics & rate limiting | 90 days |
| Error Logs | Debugging & stability | 30 days |
| IP Address | Website security | Session only |
We use your data solely to operate, maintain, and improve our services. This includes: providing bot functionality in your Discord servers, storing your configuration preferences, analyzing usage patterns to improve features, and ensuring the security and stability of our infrastructure.
We implement anonymization and aggregation techniques wherever possible. Analytics data is processed in aggregate form and cannot be used to identify individual users.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. This includes encrypted data transmission (TLS/SSL), secure authentication mechanisms, access controls for all administrative interfaces, and regular security audits.
While we take every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no system is 100% secure. We encourage users to practice good security hygiene and report any security concerns to us immediately.
You have the right to: access your personal data we have stored, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, object to certain data processing activities, and receive a copy of your data in a structured format.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our website or Discord server. We will respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days. Note that removing our bots from your server will automatically initiate data cleanup after our retention period.
Our services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age, in compliance with COPPA and Discord's Terms of Service.
If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes through our Discord server, website announcements, or email (if available). The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates when the policy was last revised.
Your continued use of our services after any privacy policy changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
