Privacy Policy

1. Overview

giveaways.lol is a Discord bot designed to create, manage and operate giveaways in Discord communities.

To provide these features, the service may need to process limited information associated with Discord users, servers, channels, roles, giveaways and giveaway entries.

2. Data we process

Depending on the features you use, giveaways.lol may process information such as:

• Discord user IDs
• Discord server IDs
• Discord channel IDs
• Discord role IDs
• Discord message IDs
• Giveaway entry records
• Giveaway winner records
• Giveaway configuration
• Server-specific bot configuration
• Command and interaction metadata
• Timestamps associated with service activity

Discord IDs are identifiers provided by Discord. They are used so the bot can associate stored information with the correct Discord resources.

Technical information

Limited technical information may also be processed for security, debugging, abuse prevention and service reliability.

3. How data is used

Information processed by giveaways.lol may be used to:

• Create and manage giveaways
• Record giveaway entries
• Select and verify winners
• Validate giveaway requirements
• Restore giveaways after service restarts
• Store server configuration
• Prevent abuse or duplicate entries
• Diagnose technical problems
• Maintain service security
• Improve reliability and performance

4. Discord

giveaways.lol operates through Discord and relies on information made available through Discord's platform and APIs.

Discord operates independently from giveaways.lol. Your use of Discord is also governed by Discord's own terms and privacy policies.

giveaways.lol does not control how Discord independently collects or processes information.

5. Data storage

Persistent application information may be stored in a PostgreSQL database.

This can include giveaway configuration, entry records, winner records and server-specific settings required for the bot to function.

Additional temporary information may be held in application memory while commands or Discord interactions are being processed.

6. Data retention

Information is retained only for as long as it is reasonably required for the operation, security and maintenance of giveaways.lol.

Certain giveaway records may remain stored after a giveaway has ended where necessary for winner verification, rerolls, moderation, statistics or abuse prevention.

Data may also be deleted when it is no longer required or when a valid deletion request is processed.

7. Data sharing

giveaways.lol does not sell personal information.

Information may be processed by infrastructure providers where technically necessary to operate the service.

Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law, legal process or where reasonably necessary to protect the service, users or others from abuse or security threats.

8. Your rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to information associated with you.

These rights may include requesting access, correction, deletion, restriction or information about how your data is processed.

Because giveaways.lol primarily identifies users through Discord IDs, additional information may be required to reasonably verify a request.

9. Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information processed by giveaways.lol.

However, no online service, database or network can guarantee absolute security.

If you believe you have discovered a security issue, please report it privately rather than publicly disclosing sensitive details.

10. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the service, infrastructure, legal requirements or data-processing practices change.

The effective date displayed at the top of this page indicates when this version became effective.
