It provides support and moderator commands, activity-based ranks and leaderboards, GitHub +account linking, GitHub sponsor role synchronization, and notifications between LizardByte services. + +### Discord Information + +Depending on the features a user interacts with, LizardByte-bot may process and store: + +* Discord user IDs, usernames, global display names, and server IDs. +* Message activity metadata, including message counts and last-activity timestamps, for ranks and leaderboards. The bot + does not read or store message bodies, embeds, attachments, components, or polls. +* GitHub user IDs and usernames when a user voluntarily links a GitHub account through OAuth, together with derived + sponsor status and roles managed by the bot. OAuth access tokens are used to retrieve the authorized account details + and are not stored by the application. +* Moderation event metadata for messages posted in a designated restricted channel, including the Discord user, + channel, message ID, and event timestamp. This record does not include the message body or attachments. +* Command interactions and operational logs necessary to provide, secure, and troubleshoot the application. + +### Reddit Information + +LizardByte-bot monitors new submissions and comments in configured LizardByte subreddits. Depending on the activity and +features involved, it may process: + +* Reddit account IDs and usernames, subreddit IDs, activity counts, rank experience, and last-activity timestamps for + ranks and leaderboards. +* Comment IDs and comment text. Comment text is used while detecting and responding to supported commands and is not + retained in active application records; the bot retains the comment ID and whether processing completed to prevent + duplicate processing. +* Submission IDs, titles, text, authors, timestamps, links, flair, and the author's public profile image while preparing + notifications. Active application records retain the submission ID, flair metadata, and notification delivery status + and timestamp, but not the submission title, text, author, link, or profile image. + +The bot posts Reddit submission notifications to a restricted Discord channel. Those notifications may include the +Reddit username and public profile image, submission title and text, link, flair, and timestamp, and remain in Discord +until removed by an authorized moderator. + +### How We Use and Share Information + +We use this information only to provide the features described above, administer LizardByte communities, prevent abuse, +and diagnose application failures. We do not sell this information, use it for advertising or user profiling, or use +Discord or Reddit content to train machine learning or artificial intelligence models. + +Application information may be processed by Discord, Reddit, and service providers that host application or storage +systems under their respective terms and privacy policies. Discord moderation records and Reddit submission +notifications are posted only to restricted Discord channels available to authorized moderators. + +### Storage and Retention + +Application records are stored in access-controlled systems managed by LizardByte and its service providers and are +available only to authorized maintainers. Operational logs are similarly access-controlled. + +Account-linking, rank, and processing-status records are retained while needed to provide those features. Operational +logs are removed on a rolling basis, and records posted to restricted Discord channels are retained until an authorized +moderator removes them. Users may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their stored application data through +the [LizardByte support portal](https://app.lizardbyte.dev/support/). We may retain limited information when necessary for +security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, or resolving disputes. Requests to delete Reddit personal data will be +completed within 10 days. + ## Website Visitors Like most website operators, LizardByte collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers
