(hereinafter, "us", "we", or "https://app.lizardbyte.dev"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting

("Privacy Policy") to explain what information may be collected on our Website, how we use this information, and under

It is LizardByte's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website
and applications. This Privacy Policy applies to [https://app.lizardbyte.dev](https://app.lizardbyte.dev) and the
LizardByte-bot integrations for Discord and Reddit (hereinafter, "us", "we", or "LizardByte"). We respect your privacy
and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us. We have adopted this privacy
policy ("Privacy Policy") to explain what information may be collected, how we use this information, and under what
circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties.

This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms of service posted on our Website, set forth the general rules and policies

to additional terms of service.

## LizardByte-bot Community Applications

LizardByte-bot is a private community support and moderation application used in Discord servers and Reddit communities
operated by LizardByte. 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.
