Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 9, 2026
1. Introduction
Bond ("we", "our", or "the Service") is an AI-powered Discord bot that helps server administrators manage their Discord servers using natural language commands. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use Bond.
2. Information We Collect
Discord Data: When you interact with Bond, we receive and process:
- Your Discord User ID and username
- Server (Guild) ID where Bond is used
- Message content when you mention @Bond
- Channel IDs where commands are issued
Stored Data: We store the following in our database:
- Tool permissions you've granted per server
- Server subscription status and prompt-credit balances
- Daily usage counts for rate limiting
- Payment history (transaction IDs, not payment details)
- If you connect ChatGPT, an encrypted OpenAI authorization credential, account email, plan type, and selected model
3. How We Use Your Information
- To process and execute your server management commands
- To maintain your permission preferences across sessions
- To enforce weekly allowances and server safety limits
- To process subscription payments through Polar.sh
- To improve our AI responses and service quality
4. Third-Party Services
Bond integrates with the following third-party services:
- Discord: For bot functionality and server management
- AI Providers: Your commands are processed by AI services (Google, Anthropic, or OpenRouter) to understand and execute your requests
- Polar.sh: For subscription management and payment processing
- OpenAI: If you enable the optional ChatGPT connection, your prompts and relevant conversation context are sent to OpenAI through Codex and count against your ChatGPT subscription allowance
- Hosting Provider:For VPS infrastructure and secure database hosting
5. Data Retention
We retain conversation history to support follow-up messages, memories, and dashboard chat. Permission settings and usage data are retained until deletion is requested. If you connect ChatGPT, the encrypted authorization credential is retained while the connection is disabled or your Bond plan is inactive, so you do not need to authenticate again after resubscribing. It is deleted when you disconnect ChatGPT or delete your Bond account.
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encrypted database connections (SSL/TLS), secure API communications, access controls, and application-level authenticated encryption for stored ChatGPT credentials. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Request access to your stored data
- Request deletion of your data
- Revoke tool permissions at any time using /permissions commands
- Remove Bond from your server to stop all data collection
- Disconnect ChatGPT at any time to delete the stored authorization credential
To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@bondbot.gg.
8. Children's Privacy
Bond is not intended for users under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required by Discord in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect information from children.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes through our Discord server or by updating the "Last updated" date above.
