Last updated: August 16, 2026 This Privacy Policy explains how Global AFK (“the Bot,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, and stores information when you use the Bot on Discord.

1. Information We Collect

  • Discord User ID — a unique identifier for your Discord account, used to associate your AFK status and Pro subscription with you.
  • AFK Status Text — the message you provide when setting your AFK status (e.g., via /afk, ,afk, /localafk). Do not include sensitive personal information in your AFK status, as it is visible to other members of servers you’re in.
  • Server (Guild) ID — stored only when you use the local AFK feature, to scope your status to a specific server.
  • Subscription Data — if you purchase Pro, we store your Discord User ID, the plan you purchased (lifetime or monthly), and a Stripe subscription reference (for monthly plans only), so we can grant and later revoke Pro access.
We do not collect your email address, IP address, or message content beyond what’s needed to detect and process the specific commands described above.

2. Payment Information

Payments are processed entirely by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. We never see or store your card number, billing address, or other payment details — Stripe handles this directly. Stripe may collect your email for receipt purposes as part of their own checkout process; this is governed by Stripe’s Privacy Policy, not this one.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide AFK status tracking and notify other users when they mention someone who is AFK.
  • To determine whether you have active Pro access and unlock Pro-only commands.
  • To send you a direct messages for subscription updates.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate the Bot:
  • Discord — the platform the Bot operates on. See Discord’s Privacy Policy.
  • Supabase — our database provider, used to store the data listed above.
  • Stripe — our payment processor, used to handle all purchases.
We do not sell or share your data with any other third party.

5. Data Retention

  • Your AFK status is stored until you clear it (,afk clear / /afk clear / /localafk clear) or update it again.
  • Your Pro subscription record is stored for as long as your subscription is active. Canceling a monthly subscription automatically removes your Pro record when Stripe notifies us of the cancellation.

6. Your Rights

You can clear your own AFK status at any time using the commands above. To request full deletion of your data from our systems, contact us using the information in Section 9.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Bot is not directed at children under 13, consistent with Discord’s own age requirements. We do not knowingly collect data from users under 13.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the Bot after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

9. Contact

Questions about this Privacy Policy or your data can be directed to our Discord server.
