Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 31st July 2024

Effective: 31st July 2024

Introduction

The HomeCord Server App does not, and will never, collect & store Messages, User Data, or Server Data without explicit notice & consent. Additionally, HomeCord will never sell or give away the Data that it does store.

The developers of HomeCord firmly believes in a "we don't want your data keep it away from us" process - thus, HomeCord will be developed as "stateless" as possible (i.e: without needing to store any information or data at all). If features and functions are not possible to develop "stateless", we will explicitly include them in this Privacy Policy, covering exactly what is needed to be stored, for what purpose, and how that data can be removed from HomeCord on request.

HomeCord's source code is viewable in HomeCord's GitHub Repo ( https://github.com/HomeCord/homecord ).

Data Collection & Purposes

Below will be a list of what HomeCord does store.

As a reminder: User IDs, Server IDs, Channel/Thread IDs, Message IDs, Role IDs, Scheduled Event IDs, and Custom Emoji IDs are all publicly accessible from Discord's public API and official Clients/Apps.

For Home Channel Settings

  • Server ID

    • So HomeCord knows which Server these Settings belong to.

  • Channel ID

    • So HomeCord knows which Text Channel the Server has assigned as the "Home Channel".

  • Webhook ID

    • So HomeCord can send/edit/delete its own Messages inside of the assigned "Home Channel", and only inside of the "Home Channel", to highlight aspects of the Server.

  • Message IDs (inside of the "Home Channel")

    • So HomeCord can know which of its own Messages inside of the "Home Channel" should be edited to highlight respective aspects of the Server.

For User Preferences

  • User ID

    • So HomeCord knows which User these Preferences belong to.

Home Block List

  • Server ID

    • So HomeCord knows which Server these blocked items are for.

  • Channel ID / Category ID / Role ID

    • So HomeCord knows which Channel, Category, and/or Role was added to the Server's Block List, and thus prevent aspects from being highlighted from those spaces or Members.

Important/Featured Channels

  • Server ID

    • So HomeCord knows which Server this Featured Channel belongs to, and thus place it in the correct "Home Channel".

  • Channel ID

    • So HomeCord knows which Channel the Server assigned as a Featured Channel.

  • User-inputted custom string [Optional]

    • An optional bit of text the Server can assign as a description for the Featured Channel's listing in the "Home Channel".

Featured/Highlighted Messages, Scheduled Events, and Threads

  • Server ID

    • So HomeCord knows which Server this featured aspect belongs to, and thus place it in the correct "Home Channel".

  • Message ID / Scheduled Event ID / Thread ID

    • So HomeCord knows which Message, Event, and/or Thread was featured or highlighted.

    • In the case of Featured/Highlighted Messages, both the ID for the original Message, and the ID for the reposted version of that Message inside the "Home Channel", are stored.

    • The content of these are NEVER stored, only their IDs.

Use of Locale Data

HomeCord also makes use of the publicly available locale data (i.e: what language Users and Servers have set) Discord sends to all Server/User Apps using Discord's public API for "Interactions" (e.g: Slash Commands, Context Commands, Select Menus, Buttons, Modals). This locale data is only used for knowing which language HomeCord should send its responses in, and is NOT stored or tracked in any way.

You can see the public API Documentation regarding what the locale data includes on these official Discord API Documentation Pages:

Final Notes

If you decide to stop using HomeCord, then HomeCord will automatically remove all data connected to a Server when it is removed or kicked from the Server in question.

Additionally, deleting from Discord a Channel, Message, Event, or Thread, whose ID has been stored as a featured/highlighted aspect, or as a core part of the "Home Channels", will cause HomeCord to also delete the respective IDs from itself too. You can also manually remove featured/highlighted aspect's IDs via use of the Unfeature Commands.

The Developer of HomeCord, TwilightZebby, is contactable for matters regarding HomeCord via GitHub, preferrably via opening an Issue Ticket or Discussion on HomeCord's GitHub Repo. You can also contact TwilightZebby via HomeCord's Support Server on Discord.
