Dusk

Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This page explains what Dusk, a Discord RPG bot, stores about you, why, how long it keeps it, and how to have it deleted. Dusk only keeps what the game needs.

1. What Dusk stores

Discord IDs. Your user ID and the IDs of the servers you play in, to tie progress to you, plus the IDs of channels set up for Dusk's features.

Game data. Your coins, items, gear, crafting, trades, daily rewards, runs (explore, descent, raid, arena), results, stats, .settings choices and a history of coin and item changes. Trades are recorded so they can be checked and undone in case of mishaps.

Command counts. How many commands you've used, in total and per day, for stats and leaderboards, plus server-wide daily totals per command.

Admin log. The developer(s)' admin commands are logged with their arguments and a timestamp, as an audit trail for changes to player data. Player commands are only counted, not logged.

Error log. When something breaks, a short error message is logged so it can be fixed.

Purchases. If you buy a supporter rank, Stripe handles the payment. Dusk gets the Discord account the rank is for, your email, which rank you bought and whether it's active. Dusk never sees your card details. What you enter at checkout is covered by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

2. Message content, names and avatars

Dusk uses prefix commands (.explore, .daily), which requires Discord's Message Content intent. Messages in channels it can access are checked only for the prefix, and non-command messages are discarded. In the channel set for crate drops, Dusk also notes that chat is active to time the next drop, without recording who sent a message or what it said. Only admin commands are logged with their text. Dusk does not receive DMs and never stores attachments, images or voice.

Dusk shows your display name and avatar from Discord in its replies, like your profile and trades. They're read from Discord when needed and never written to the database.

3. Who sees it

Some game data is public to other players by design, like your level, gear, stats and leaderboard spots. The full data can only be seen by the developer(s). Your data is never sold or shared with third parties, and isn't used for ads or to train AI. Everything passes through Discord, which has its own Privacy Policy.

4. Storage and retention

Data is stored in a database on a private machine that only the developer(s) can access. Backups are taken daily on the same machine, and the 7 most recent are retained.

Your data is kept while Dusk is running, so your progress is still there if you take a break. It's deleted sooner if you ask, or if the game is reset, and all of it is deleted if Dusk shuts down for good. Deleted data is purged from backups within 7 days as they rotate out.

5. Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion of everything tied to your Discord user ID, which removes your progress for good. Requests are handled within 30 days. Dusk processes your data to run the game you chose to play. Under the GDPR (EU/UK), the CCPA (California) and similar laws these are your legal rights, and you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Dusk isn't meant for anyone below Discord's minimum age. If a child under that age is using it, get in touch and their data will be deleted.

6. Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes too, and using Dusk after that means you accept the new version. For questions or data requests, email duskondiscord@gmail.com or message the developer(s) in Dusk's Discord server. Your Discord user ID is all that's needed for a deletion request.
