Privacy Policy

1. Information Collected

The bot collects the following types of data:

• Your Discord user ID and username
• Your input (e.g., prompts, command options, or images attached to /ask) and the corresponding GPT responses
• Custom AI role settings set via /setrole
• Language preference set via /language (Simplified Chinese / Traditional Chinese / English / Japanese)
• Profile card data provided via /mycard, including nickname, pronouns, bio, location/timezone, and linked game accounts (Steam, Nintendo, PlayStation)
• Trivia quiz statistics (correct and incorrect answer counts)
• Daily fortune check-in data, including consecutive check-in streaks and personal records
• Virtual currency balances (Zacoins / 咋办币) and gacha-related data, including fragment counts, collected items, and pity counters
• Timestamps and context of interactions (server name, channel name, command used)

Message reading scope & opt-out: The bot only reads message content to detect the "咋办" keyword trigger or explicit command invocations; all other messages are ignored and never stored. You can fully opt out of keyword responses at any time with the /trigger command.

Website analytics: This website uses GoatCounter for anonymous, aggregate visit statistics (page views, referrer, country, device type). GoatCounter does not use cookies and does not collect or store any personally identifiable information.

2. Data Storage

Collected data is stored as follows:

• Conversation histories, summaries, role settings, and profile card data are stored persistently until deleted by the user or developer.
• Your language preference is stored persistently until you change it via /language or request deletion.
• Trivia statistics are stored persistently until reset by the user.
• Daily fortune check-in data (streak counts, personal records) and gacha data (Zacoin balances, fragment counts, collected items, pity counters) are stored persistently until deleted upon user request.
• Temporary query cache (e.g., Reddit post cache, NeoDB query cache, cold-knowledge content cache from Reddit / Wikipedia / Futility Closet) may be stored server-side for up to 24 hours to improve response performance. This cache is non-personal and not linked to individual user identities.
• Your Discord user ID may be temporarily stored in memory (not on disk) during an active bot session for rate-limiting purposes — for example, to enforce cooldowns on interactive buttons such as the "再来一条" (fetch again) button in /dailyfact. This data is cleared when the bot restarts.
• Bot activity logs are retained under the following schedule:
  • Within the past 1 month: all log entries are retained.
  • Between 1 and 6 months ago: only WARNING-level (and higher) entries and user interaction records are retained.
  • Older than 6 months: only user interaction records are retained.

3. Use of Data

Data is used solely for the following purposes:

• Providing personalized responses
• Maintaining user history and summaries
• Displaying profile cards and trivia statistics
• Operating the daily fortune check-in system and virtual currency economy
• Debugging and ensuring bot performance

4. Data Sharing

Your conversation input is transmitted to OpenAI's API for generating responses, and is subject to OpenAI's Privacy Policy. Message content is sent solely to generate responses; the developer does not use it to train any machine learning or AI models.

In addition, certain commands send query requests to the following third-party services. These requests may include search terms or command options you provide, but do not include personal profile data:

• Reddit – for the /aww command (fetches public hot posts from curated animal-themed subreddits; only non-NSFW, non-stickied posts are used) and /dailyfact (fetches public top posts from r/todayilearned and r/mildlyinteresting; only non-NSFW posts are used)
• Steam – for the /steam command
• NeoDB – for the /neodb and /roll media commands
• Wikipedia – for the /roll wiki command and /dailyfact (fetches article summaries and thumbnails from the Wikipedia REST API)
• Futility Closet – for the /dailyfact command (fetches public RSS feed entries from futilitycloset.com)
• Open Trivia Database – for the /trivia command
• 萌娘百科 (MoeGirl, moegirl.icu) – for the /moewiki and /roll moewiki commands

No personal data is sold or shared with any third party beyond what is described above. All other data is stored on a single access-controlled private server operated by the developer.

5. Data Deletion

You may request deletion of your stored data as follows:

• Conversation history, summaries, and role settings: Use the /reset command at any time.
• Trivia statistics: Use the /resettrivia command at any time.
• Language preference: You can change it at any time with the /language command. It is not cleared by /reset; to have it deleted, contact the developer directly (see Section 8).
• Profile card data, fortune check-in records, Zacoin balances, and gacha data: Contact the developer directly (see Section 8) to request deletion. These cannot currently be deleted via bot command.
• Activity logs: Logs are automatically pruned according to the retention schedule described in Section 2. Individual log entries cannot be deleted on request.

6. Disclaimer

Echo's Bot is provided "as is." While reasonable efforts are made to protect your data, the developer does not guarantee complete security and is not liable for any unintended data loss or exposure.

7. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. You are advised to review it periodically. Continued use of the bot after changes are made constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
