The collection of message content and voice/video metadata means Discord has visibility into both the substance of your communications and the patterns of your social interactions, which is particularly sensitive data for users who treat Discord as a private communication tool.
Interpretive note: The policy does not disclose whether message content is end-to-end encrypted or accessible to Discord employees, which is a material ambiguity affecting the practical significance of this provision.
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.
