Discord bots operate within Discord servers and can access messages, user profiles, server membership data, and voice channel activity depending on their permissions (intents). Discord's Developer Policy requires bots to have a privacy policy accessible to server administrators before bot installation. Users in servers where your bot operates have the right to know what data the bot collects and how long it retains it. India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023 is India's first comprehensive data protection law.

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023 is India's first comprehensive data protection law. It applies to processing of digital personal data within India and to processing outside India if it involves offering goods or services to individuals in India. Significant Data Fiduciaries face enhanced obligations, and the Data Protection Board can impose fines up to ₹250 crore.
Discord bots operate within Discord servers and can access messages, user profiles, server membership data, and voice channel activity depending on their permissions (intents). Discord's Developer Policy requires bots to have a privacy policy accessible to server administrators before bot installation. Users in servers where your bot operates have the right to know what data the bot collects and how long it retains it.
Data typically collected by Discord Bot businesses: Discord user IDs and usernames, message content (if message content intent is enabled), server membership data, command usage logs, moderation action logs, bot configuration data per server
A Cookie Policy is best practice for DPDPA, even if not strictly mandated. It demonstrates transparency and builds user trust. For Discord Bot businesses using analytics or advertising tools, it is strongly recommended.
A typical Discord Bot website uses: essential session cookies, analytics cookies (Google Analytics, etc.), functional preference cookies, and marketing/advertising cookies if you run paid campaigns. Each type must be disclosed in your Cookie Policy with its purpose.
Under DPDPA, a Cookie Policy alone is not sufficient. A consent mechanism is recommended for analytics and marketing cookies to align with global privacy best practices.
