Summary

Discord's Privacy Policy establishes what personal information the platform collects from users, including usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, device identifiers, messages, media, voice and video data, payment information, and behavioral activity data. The policy authorizes Discord to use collected data for advertising, analytics, and product improvement purposes, and permits sharing this data with third-party partners in advertising, analytics, safety, and infrastructure categories. The policy establishes that personal data may be transferred or disclosed in connection with corporate transactions including mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is Discord's Privacy Policy, governing the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information across Discord's platform and services, with stated legal bases including contractual necessity, legitimate interests, consent, and legal compliance obligations. The policy states that Discord collects usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, billing information, IP addresses, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, content shared by users (including messages, images, and voice data), activity data, and location-inferred data; the terms authorize use of this information for service provision, safety enforcement, advertising, analytics, and product improvement. The policy discloses data sharing with advertising partners, analytics providers, safety partners, and third-party integrations, and reserves the right to share data in corporate transactions such as mergers or acquisitions; the scope of advertising-related data sharing and the breadth of inferred data categories may warrant review under applicable law, and the document's assertions do not necessarily reflect the full scope of enforceable rights in any given jurisdiction. The policy engages GDPR and UK GDPR for EU and UK residents, CCPA and CPRA for California residents, and COPPA for users under 13; Discord states it does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent, and EU and UK users are afforded rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, with Discord Ireland Limited identified as the data controller for those regions.
