This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Discord's Privacy Policy explains what data Discord collects, how it uses that data, and when it shares it with others. Discord uses your information to enforce its rules, show you sponsored content, and improve its features—including by using content you post in larger spaces. You can request a copy of your data through User Settings and delete your account, which permanently removes your identifying information and anonymizes other data.
Discord's Privacy Policy establishes the conditions under which Discord collects, uses, shares, and retains user information. Discord uses user information to power enforcement systems—including automated models that detect and act against prohibited content—to surface sponsored content, and to develop and improve its services using content posted in larger spaces. The policy permits disclosure of user information to third parties in corporate transaction contexts (including during evaluation phases), in response to legal requests Discord believes are required by law, and in limited form to advertising platforms for prospective-user targeting and ad measurement. Users retain rights to request a data copy within 30 days and to permanently delete identifying information, with other data anonymized per Discord's data retention policy; Discord explicitly states it does not sell personal information.
As an individual user, your information is used by Discord to monitor and enforce its policies, to surface sponsored content tailored to you, and—for content posted in larger spaces—to develop and improve Discord's services and safety features. Discord may combine information it holds about you with data received from other users and third parties. Your information may be shared with third parties during corporate transactions (even at the evaluation stage) and in response to legal requests Discord believes are required by law. Discord does not sell your personal information. You can request a copy of the data Discord holds about you by going to User Settings, and Discord states it will provide that data packet within 30 days.
