FlagBot Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-07

FlagBot is the moderation and utility bot for the FlagBrew Discord server. The FlagBrew team runs it. It operates only in the FlagBrew server and a private testing server, and it leaves any other server it is added to.

This policy explains what FlagBot reads, what it stores, and what it shares. Discord's own Privacy Policy covers everything Discord itself does with your data.

What FlagBot reads

FlagBot reads the following data through Discord while it runs. It does not keep this data outside Discord unless the next section says so.

Data Why
Messages in the FlagBrew server To run commands, and to log edited and deleted messages for moderators
Attachments sent with commands To accept crash dump submissions and moderator evidence for warns and bans
Member joins, leaves, nickname changes and timeouts To log them for moderators and re-apply mutes to members who rejoin
Online status and activity Only when someone runs the userinfo command. The result is shown in that channel and never stored
Direct messages sent to FlagBot To forward them, with attachments, to moderators

Staff logs

FlagBot posts the following to private channels on the FlagBrew server that only moderators and the FlagBrew team can see:

  • member joins and leaves, including account age
  • nickname changes and timeouts
  • the original and edited text of edited messages, and the text of deleted messages
  • direct messages sent to FlagBot
  • submitted crash dumps and their descriptions
  • thread creation, archiving and deletion

These logs stay on Discord until staff delete them.

What FlagBot stores outside Discord

FlagBot keeps the following records in files on the machine that hosts it. Warnings can also be copied to a MongoDB database run by the FlagBrew team.

Record Contents Kept until
Warnings Your user ID, the warning reason, the date, and the moderator's username A moderator deletes or clears the warning
Mutes Your user ID and the time your mute expires The expiry time is cleared when the mute ends, but your user ID stays in the file
FAQ by DM Your user ID, if you turned on FAQ answers by DM You run toggledmfaq again
Crash dump hashes A SHA-1 hash of each submitted crash dump file, used to reject duplicates Staff clear the hash list

FlagBot does not store message content outside Discord, except for the warning reasons that moderators type into the warn command.

What FlagBot shares

  • The report_code command opens a public issue on the FlagBrew/Sharkive GitHub repository. The issue includes your Discord username, your user ID and the text of your report.
  • FlagBot does not sell your data or share it with advertisers.
  • FlagBot does not use your data to train machine learning or AI models.

Your choices

  • Run toggledmfaq to add or remove yourself from the FAQ by DM list.
  • If you leave the FlagBrew server, FlagBot stops reading your messages and member events. Records it already stored remain until removed.
  • To ask what FlagBot stores about you, or to ask for it to be deleted, email flagbrewinfo@gmail.com. Moderation records may be kept where they are needed to enforce the server rules.
