1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Melody ("the bot", "we", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the bot on Discord. By using Melody, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Melody is designed to collect only the minimum data required for functionality. We do not sell, share, or misuse any data.

2. Information We Collect

Melody collects only the following types of data necessary for operation and user experience:

• Server configuration data: Server ID, channel IDs, role IDs, and settings related to bot features.
• Temporary playback data: Music queue, playback state, and volume while the bot is active.
• Command interaction data: Basic command usage to process your requests.

Melody does not collect message content outside of commands or DMs sent directly to the bot.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use collected data solely to provide and improve Melody features, store server-specific settings, and maintain stability and abuse prevention. We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or selling to third parties.

4. Data Storage and Security

Configuration data may be stored in secure databases accessible only to the bot owner and systems required for operation. We take reasonable steps to protect stored data, though no system can be guaranteed 100% secure.

5. Data Sharing

We do not share your data with third-party companies, advertisers, or data brokers. Data may only be disclosed if required by applicable laws or valid legal requests.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

Configuration data is retained as long as needed for Melody to function on your server. Server owners may request deletion by contacting us through our Support Server. If the bot is removed, related data may be deleted automatically over time.

7. Children's Privacy

Melody is intended for Discord users who meet Discord's minimum age requirements. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe data has been collected from a child in violation of this policy, please contact us.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. Continued use of Melody after changes are posted means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
