Noble Bot

Privacy

What our Discord bot keeps about you, how long it keeps it, and how to make it forget you.

Effective and last updated

Who runs it

Noble Bot is Noble's own Discord bot. The guild master (the King) runs it, and it works in Noble's Discord server only.

What it keeps

Only what the guild's tools need to work:

  • Your Discord user ID
  • Your application form answers, and the Royal Council's votes and decision
  • The dates of your Squire trial
  • Your raid signups (role, class and any note) and which raids you attended
  • Loot you've been awarded
  • Warnings
  • Your crafter directory entry, if you add one: your professions and any note, under your in-game name and class. It's also shown on our website (see On our website).
  • LFG groups and PvP calls you post or join
  • Server settings, and the IDs of the bot's own panel messages

It also sets your server nickname to your in-game name (first and last), which is part of the server rules.

Messages in the server

Noble Bot reads messages in the server's channels so it can keep them safe and useful:

  • It removes spam, scam and phishing links, gold and boost ads, and invites to other servers. When it removes a message, it tells you why, and a copy goes to the Royal Council's private log channel.
  • It answers questions when you tag @Noble Bot.
  • It reminds people who haven't set their in-game name yet.
  • So the Royal Council can see what an edited or deleted message said, it keeps the most recent messages in each channel in memory only, for at most a day. They are never written to disk and disappear when the bot restarts. Copies of edited, deleted and removed messages go to the Royal Council's private log channel.

It doesn't read DMs, and it doesn't read the Royal Council's private channels.

What it never does

  • It never saves chat messages to disk, and it never reads your DMs.
  • It doesn't track your presence, activity or IP address.
  • No tracking, no ads, no AI training.
  • Nothing is sold or shared with anyone. Your data only goes to Discord, which handles it under Discord's own privacy policy. The one exception is the crafter list, if you add yourself to it (see On our website).

Where it lives

In a database on the guild master's computer, in a folder only that Windows account can read. The bot keeps no log files. Its recent technical output is kept in memory only and disappears when it restarts.

On our website

The Crafters section of our website, nobleguild.gg, is public: anyone can see it. When you add yourself with /crafter add, it shows your in-game name and class, the professions you added, and any note you wrote. You're only there if you add yourself.

  • /crafter remove takes you off, and so does Delete my data (under /privacy). The website catches up a few minutes later.
  • So the website can show the list, Noble Bot keeps a copy of it (in-game names, classes, professions and notes, but no Discord IDs) in the guild's private GitHub repository. The website reads that copy each time it's rebuilt, and is hosted by Vercel.
  • Removing yourself takes you off the current copy, so you're gone from the website. Earlier versions stay in that private repository's history, which only the guild master can see.

How long we keep it

PvP calls and LFG groups
7 days after they close
Decided applications and their votes
90 days after the decision
Squire trials
Deleted when the trial ends
Raids, signups and attendance
1 year after the raid
Loot
1 year
Warnings
1 year
Crafter entries
Until you remove them or leave
Recent messages (in memory only)
At most 1 day, gone when the bot restarts
Copies in the Royal Council's log
90 days
Everything about a member
Deleted 30 days after they leave the server, unless they come back

If someone leaves while the bot is switched off, their 30 days start when it's next back on. A few things belong to the guild's records rather than to one person, so they stay when a member's data is deleted: the Royal Council's notes on an application decision, and the titles and notes of raids someone led (their name is replaced with "a former member").

Your choices

  • Type /privacy in our Discord to see what the bot keeps about you. Press Delete my data to erase it. It's deleted straight away, warnings included, and it can't be undone.
  • Already left the server? Ask the King or any Royal Council member to delete your data.
  • Posts the bot made in channels are Discord messages. The Royal Council can remove them if you ask.

Age

Noble is for adults: you must be 18 or older to join our Discord server. Agreeing to the server rules when you join confirms that you are.

Changes

If any of this changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
