Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Vanillate Studio ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, stores, and protects information necessary to provide our products and services on Discord and the web.

This policy applies to all products and services operated by Vanillate Studio (collectively, the "Services") — including every Vanillate Studio bot, application, and website, as well as any products or services we may release in the future — unless a separate privacy policy is expressly provided for a specific product.

By using any of the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy.

To provide gameplay features and maintain the operation of the Services, we may collect and store the following information:

We do not collect passwords, payment information, email addresses, direct messages unrelated to Service functionality, or other sensitive personal information.

We use collected information solely to operate and improve the Services, including:

We do not use collected data for advertising purposes.

Some Services may process message content and other Discord data only when required for their functionality and in accordance with Discord's Developer Terms and Policies. For example, word-chain gameplay requires reading player answers submitted in the game channel.

Message content is processed exclusively to provide requested commands, gameplay interactions, moderation features, or other Service-related functionality.

We do not sell, share, or use message content for advertising or profiling purposes.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise monetize user data.

Information may only be disclosed:

• →When required by applicable law or legal process
• →To protect the security, integrity, or operation of the Services
• →To investigate abuse, fraud, or violations of our policies
• →When necessary to comply with Discord's policies and requirements

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services and maintain gameplay functionality.

Data may be deleted when:

• →A server removes one of our bots
• →A user submits a valid deletion request
• →The data is no longer required for operational purposes
• →We determine that retention is no longer necessary

Certain records may be retained temporarily for security, abuse prevention, or legal compliance purposes.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect stored information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

The Services operate through Discord and may utilize third-party hosting, database, analytics, or infrastructure providers to maintain service availability.

Use of such services is governed by their respective privacy policies and terms.

The Services are not intended for individuals who are below the minimum age required to use Discord under applicable laws and Discord's Terms of Service.

Users may request:

• →Information regarding stored data
• →Correction of inaccurate information
• →Deletion of eligible data associated with their Discord account
• →Clarification regarding how their data is used

Requests may be submitted through our official support server and apply to data across all of our Services.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Any changes will become effective upon publication of the updated policy. Continued use of the Services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
