Last updated: December 20, 2025

LFG Hub Bot (“we”, “our”, or “the Bot”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights when using LFG Hub Bot on Discord.

1. Information We Collect

LFG Hub Bot collects only the minimum data required to provide matchmaking, presence-based recommendations, and analytics.

1.1 Discord User Information

When you interact with the Bot, we may store:

  • Discord User ID

  • Display name

  • Server nickname

This data is provided via Discord’s official API (discord.js).

1.2 User-Provided Profile Information

We may ask users to voluntarily provide additional information used only for matchmaking and filtering, including:

  • Age or age range

  • Region / timezone

  • Gaming platform (e.g. PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Mobile)

  • Preferred language(s)

This information is:

  • Explicitly provided by the user

  • Editable by the user

  • Not inferred or enriched from external sources

1.3 Presence & Activity Data

We store Discord presence and activity signals, including outside of direct LFG Hub interactions, such as:

  • When a user starts or stops playing a game

  • Game or application identifiers exposed by Discord Presence

  • Timestamps related to presence changes

This enables:

  • Presence-based LFG discovery

We do not collect any presence data beyond what Discord exposes via its APIs.

1.4 LFG & Co-Play Data

To operate LFG features, we store:

  • When a user creates or joins an LFG session

3. How We Use Your Data

We use collected data solely to:

  • Create and manage LFG sessions

  • Provide aggregated, non-identifiable analytics to server owners

We do not use data for targeted advertising or sell personal data.

Data may be shared only:

  • With Discord, as required for bot operation
