ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause means your behavioral and device data may leave Discord and be used by third-party advertisers to track and target you across the internet, not just within Discord's own platform.

Interpretive note: The specific advertising partners are not enumerated in the reviewed text, and the precise scope of data shared and the lawful basis applied may vary by jurisdiction and product feature.

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. The terms permit sharing of personal data with third-party advertising, analytics, safety, and infrastructure partners, and disclose that data may be transferred or disclosed in the event of a corporate merger, acquisition, or asset sale. 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.
