Privacy Policy for WarzoneKerala.com and Thambi-Aliyan Bot

At WarzoneKerala.com, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our community members. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and display information related to your participation in our Discord server and its integration with our website.

What Information We Collect, Store, and Display

Our Thambi-Aliyan Discord bot collects messages and metadata from designated channels within our Discord server. This information is stored in Google Firestore, our backend database. The data collected includes:

  • Discord Messages: Content of news posted in tracked channels.
  • Message Metadata: Timestamps, reactions, and attachments (metadata only, not the files themselves).
  • User Information: Your Discord Username and User ID (for internal linking and moderation purposes).
  • Thread Information: Discord thread names, IDs, creation timestamps, and activity metrics.

On WarzoneKerala.com, we display AI-generated summaries and titles derived from these Discord discussions. While we strive for accuracy, please note that AI models can make mistakes. The author of these summaries on the website is always attributed to the "Intel Bot", ensuring anonymity for individual Discord users.

What We DO NOT Publicly Display

  • Individual Discord Messages: We do not display the raw content of individual Discord messages on warzonekerala.com.
  • Personal Discord Usernames/Avatars: Your actual Discord username and avatar are not displayed on the public website, including within AI-generated summaries. All content is attributed to the "Intel Bot".
  • Direct Messages: The bot does not collect or display any information from direct messages.
  • Messages from Untracked Channels: Only messages from specific, designated channels are collected.

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect serves one primary purpose: to keep our community website fresh, relevant, and helpful for new and existing members. By summarizing discussions, we aim to provide a valuable resource that captures the essence of our community's conversations without exposing individual contributions directly.

AI Summarization

We utilize Google Gemini AI to generate concise and detailed summaries, as well as titles, from the collected Discord conversations. This process is automated and designed to provide an overview of discussions. The AI processes the raw message content to create these summaries, but the original messages are never publicly displayed.

Please be aware that AI models, including Google Gemini, can occasionally generate inaccurate or misleading information. While we strive for accuracy, WarzoneKerala.com is not liable for any errors, omissions, or consequences arising from the AI-generated content displayed on this website. The summaries are provided for informational purposes only and should not be considered definitive or exhaustive accounts of discussions.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information with any third parties. The only "sharing" that occurs is the publication of the anonymized, AI-generated summaries on our public-facing Website. These summaries are designed to be generic and do not attribute specific statements to individual Discord users.

Your Rights and Control Over Your Data

You are in control of your information. While we anonymize contributions on the website, we understand you may wish to have your data removed from our backend systems.

  • Right to Deletion: If a summary on warzonekerala.com was generated from a thread you participated in, you have the right to request the removal of your specific contributions from our dataset. This includes the raw messages associated with your Discord User ID.

To request the removal of your data, please contact moderators with the following information:

  • Your Discord Username and User ID (for verification).
  • A link to the post on warzonekerala.com that you wish to have your content removed from.
  • A link to the original Discord thread (if possible).

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the information we collect and store. Our data is hosted on Google Firestore, which provides robust security features. Access to raw data is restricted to authorized personnel only.

Future Monetization (Advertising & Merchandise)

We may explore options to support our community through advertising or selling merchandise in the future. To comply with Discord's policies and protect user privacy, we commit to the following:

  • No Monetization of User Content: The pages on warzonekerala.com that display AI-generated summaries of user conversations will remain free of advertisements. We will not commercialize your data.
  • Separate Commercial Activities: Any e-commerce (like selling T-shirts) or advertising will be conducted on separate, dedicated sections of our website or on a different website entirely, ensuring a clear line between community content and commercial activity.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify the community through an announcement in our Discord server. Your continued participation in the designated channels after such changes will constitute your acceptance of the new policy.

Contact Us

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact moderators through the Warzone Kerala Discord server.
