Notes for everyone

|
|
What data Red collects
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Red and the cogs included with it collect some amount of data
|
|
about users for the bot's normal operations.
|
|
|
|
In particular the bot will keep track of a short history of usernames/nicknames
|
|
which actions refer to your Discord account (such as creating a playlist)
|
|
as well as the content of specific messages used directly as commands for the bot
|
|
(such as reports sent to servers).
|
|
|
|
By default, Red will not collect any more data than it needs, and will not use it
|
|
for anything other than the portion of the Red's functionality that necessitated it.
|
|
|
|
3rd party extensions may store additional data beyond what Red does by default.
|
|
You can use the command ``[p]mydata 3rdparty``
|
|
to view statements about how extensions use your data made by the authors of
|
|
the specific 3rd party extensions an instance of Red has installed.
|
|
|
|
How can I delete data Red has about me?
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The command ``[p]mydata forgetme`` provides a way for users to remove
|
|
large portions of their own data from the bot. This command will not
|
|
remove operational data, such as a record that your
|
|
Discord account was the target of a moderation action.
|
|
|
|
3rd party extensions to Red are able to delete data when this command
|
|
is used as well, but this is something each extension must implement.
|
|
If a loaded extension does not implement this, the user will be informed.

Additional Notes for Bot Owners and Hosts
|
|
*****************************************
|
|
|
|
How to comply with a request from Discord Trust & Safety
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
There are a handful of these available to bot owners in the command group
|
|
``[p]mydata ownermanagement``.
|
|
|
|
The most pertinent one if asked to delete data by a member of Trust & Safety
|
|
is
|
|
|
|
``[p]mydata ownermanagement processdiscordrequest``
|
|
|
|
This will cause the bot to get rid of or disassociate all data
|
|
from the specified user ID.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
You should not use this unless
|
|
Discord has specifically requested this with regard to a deleted user.
|
|
This will remove the user from various anti-abuse measures.
|
|
If you are processing a manual request from a user, read the next section
|
|
|
|
|
|
How to process deletion requests from users
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can point users to the command ``[p]mydata forgetme`` as a first step.
|
|
|
|
If users cannot use that for some reason, the command
|
|
|
|
``[p]mydata ownermanagement deleteforuser``
|
|
|
|
exists as a way to handle this as if the user had done it themselves.
|
|
|
|
Be careful about using the other owner level deletion options on behalf of users,
|
|
as this may also result in losing operational data such as data used to prevent spam.
|
|
|
|
What owners and hosts are responsible for
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Owners and hosts must comply both with Discord's terms of service and any applicable laws.
|
|
Owners and hosts are responsible for all actions their bot takes.
|
|
|
|
We cannot give specific guidance on this, but recommend that if there are any issues
|
|
you be forthright with users, own up to any mistakes, and do your best to handle it.
