Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how PowerPath (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the PowerPath Discord bot (“Bot”) and related services, including our website (“Services”). By using the Bot or Services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information Provided by Discord

When you interact with the Bot, we receive certain information from Discord’s API that Discord makes available to bot developers. This may include:

• User IDs: Your unique Discord user identifier, used to associate your in-game progress, currency, and loadouts with your account.
• Server (Guild) IDs: The unique identifier of Discord servers where the Bot is used, so we can provide server-specific or global features where applicable.
• Usernames and display names: So we can display your identity in leaderboards, duel challenges, or other in-Bot features.
• Server membership and roles: To the extent necessary for the Bot to respect server settings (e.g., permissions, beta access flags).

We do not receive your email address, password, or direct messages through the Bot unless you explicitly send the Bot a direct message and we process it for support or a specific feature.

1.2 Information We Generate and Store

To operate the Bot’s economy, loadouts, and game modes, we store data that we generate or derive from your use of the Bot, such as:

• Game progress: Virtual currency balances (e.g., Bronze, Silver, Gold), inventory, equipped items, and participation in game modes (e.g., Raid, Zombies, Duelist’s Path).
• Statistics: Win/loss history, rewards, penalties, and other gameplay-related data necessary to run the Bot.
• Preferences and settings: For example, beta program participation or other in-Bot choices you make.

1.3 Information from Our Website

If you visit our website, we may collect:

• Usage data: Such as pages visited, referrer, and general analytics (e.g., via common web analytics tools) to improve the site.
• Information you submit: Such as contact forms or support requests, if we offer them.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and operate the Bot: To maintain your economy, loadouts, and game progress, and to run game modes and features.
• Improve the Services: To fix bugs, balance gameplay, develop new features, and understand how the Bot is used (in aggregated form where possible).
• Enforce our Terms of Service: To detect abuse, cheating, or other violations and to protect the integrity of the Services.
• Communicate with you: To respond to support requests or, if you have opted in, to send updates about the Bot (e.g., through Discord or our website).
• Comply with law: To meet legal obligations and respond to valid legal process.

We process data based on our legitimate interests in providing and improving the Bot, and where applicable, with your consent (e.g., for optional communications or beta programs).

3. Data Storage and Security

We store data on servers operated by us or by trusted third-party hosting providers. We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. Because the Bot relies on Discord and the internet, we cannot guarantee absolute security; you use the Services at your own risk.

Data is stored in regions that may include the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. By using the Services, you consent to the transfer and processing of your data in those locations.

4. Third-Party Services

• Discord: The Bot operates within Discord. Discord’s own privacy policy and terms apply to your use of Discord. We only receive and use data that Discord provides to bot applications in accordance with Discord’s developer policies.
• Hosting and infrastructure: We may use third-party services for hosting, databases, and analytics. These providers are bound by agreements that limit their use of your data to providing and securing our Services.
• Our website: If our site uses analytics or other third-party tools, those services may collect information as described in their respective privacy policies.

We do not share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

5. Data Retention

We retain your game and account-related data for as long as your Discord account interacts with the Bot or as needed to operate the Services and comply with law. If you stop using the Bot (e.g., the Bot is removed from all servers you use, or you no longer run commands), we may retain data for a reasonable period for backup, analytics, and legal compliance before deleting or anonymizing it.

You may request deletion of your data (see “Your Rights” below). We will process such requests in accordance with applicable law and our operational requirements.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:

• Access: To request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: To request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion: To request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal and operational requirements.
• Portability: To receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format where applicable.
• Objection or restriction: To object to or request restriction of certain processing.
• Withdraw consent: Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

To exercise these rights, contact us via the methods described in the “Contact” section. We will respond within a reasonable time. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Services are not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the “Last updated” date. For material changes, we may provide additional notice (e.g., via our Discord server or website). Your continued use of the Bot or Services after the updated policy is posted constitutes acceptance of the changes.

9. Contact

For privacy-related questions, requests, or complaints, please contact the PowerPath team through our official Discord server or the contact method provided on our website. We will work to respond to your request in a timely manner.
