Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This means your behavior on Discord can be used to follow you with ads across the internet, which is a significant privacy implication many users are unaware of.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The policy states Discord collects a wide range of personal data including messages, media, voice and video content, device identifiers, IP addresses, payment details, and behavioral activity, and authorizes use of this data for targeted advertising, analytics, and product improvement.

You can review and adjust privacy settings in your Discord account, and submit data access or deletion requests by emailing privacy@discord.com or using the in-app request tools.
