"Device information. We collect information about the device you use to access Discord, including the type of device, operating system, browser, IP address, and identifiers associated with your device. Log data. We automatically collect log data when you use Discord, including IP addresses, browser type and settings, the date and time of your requests, and how you interact with Discord.— Excerpt from Discord's Discord Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Collection of IP addresses and device identifiers constitutes personal data under GDPR and implicates the EU ePrivacy Directive's requirements for device-level data collection. Under CCPA, device identifiers and IP addresses are defined categories of personal information. The FTC and EU/UK data protection authorities are relevant enforcement bodies. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Automatic collection of IP addresses and device identifiers is standard practice for digital platforms, but their use in advertising profiling and combination with behavioral data creates a more significant processing profile. The ePrivacy Directive's requirements for consent to device-level data collection are relevant for EU/UK users. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users are protected by both GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive regarding device-level data collection. California users have CCPA rights over IP addresses and device identifiers as defined personal information. Illinois users should note that device identifiers may intersect with BIPA considerations if biometric identifiers are involved, though this policy does not indicate biometric collection. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should consider that device identifiers and IP addresses of employees accessing Discord may be collected and used for analytics and advertising purposes. This should be disclosed in employee privacy notices where required by applicable law. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should confirm that cookie consent mechanisms cover device identifier collection for EU/UK users and that the use of IP addresses and device identifiers in advertising profiling is disclosed in a manner consistent with GDPR transparency requirements. Data mapping should classify IP addresses and device identifiers as personal data subject to applicable rights.
