Privacy Policy

DiscPiff ("the bot") lets people search, browse, and stream the Internet Archive's public hiphopmixtapes collection in Discord, including playback in voice channels. This policy explains what it does and does not collect.

What we store

The bare minimum needed to work:

• Feed subscriptions. When a server admin runs /setfeed, we save that server's ID and the chosen channel's ID so the bot knows where to post new-mixtape announcements. /unsetfeed deletes this immediately.
• Anonymous usage totals. The bot keeps simple running tallies — how many commands have been run and how many tracks have been played — to display stats like uptime and totals. These are aggregate numbers only, never linked to any user, server, search, or message.

Together, that's the entire dataset. None of it identifies you, and it is never sold, shared, or used for anything beyond delivering the feed and showing public stats.

What we do NOT store

• We do not read, log, or store the contents of your messages.
• We do not store usernames, user IDs, or profile data.
• We do not track what you search for or which mixtapes you open.
• We use no Discord privileged intents (including Message Content).

Voice playback

When you use /play or /random, the bot joins your voice channel and streams audio outward from the Internet Archive into the channel. It does not record, listen to, transcribe, or store anything from your voice channel — audio flows one way only, from the archive to your server.

Temporary, in-memory data

To respect the Internet Archive's servers, the bot briefly keeps a short-lived cache of API responses and per-user cooldown timers in memory only — never written to disk, cleared on restart.

Third-party services

• Discord — see the Discord Privacy Policy.
• Internet Archive — the source of all data and audio; see the Internet Archive Privacy Policy.

Data retention & removal

Feed subscriptions persist until an admin runs /unsetfeed, removes the bot, or the bot loses channel access (cleaned up automatically). For deletion requests or any privacy question, contact us below.

Children

The bot is not directed at children under 13, in line with Discord's minimum-age requirement.
