ChineseCensorProgram (CCP) Privacy Statement

Last Updated: Feb 4, 2025

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Statement explains how the ChineseCensorProgram (CCP) Discord bot (hereafter referred to as "the bot," "we," or "us") collects, uses, and protects your data when you use the bot on your Discord server.

The CCP bot may collect the following types of information:

• Chat History: The bot may collect chat messages in the Discord server for the purpose of content moderation and generating the Social Credit Score. This data helps us track and analyze user behavior and interactions to ensure a safe and respectful environment.
• Server & User Activity: We may collect data related to server interactions, such as the number of messages sent by users, to evaluate content and provide server admins with useful moderation tools.
• Optional Permissions: Some features, like Social Credit scoring, require explicit permissions to access and process chat history. You can opt out of this feature by not granting the bot the permission to read chat history when inviting it to your server.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Moderation: To censor inappropriate content, monitor user behavior, and enforce server rules as defined by administrators.
• Social Credit Score: To generate an optional Social Credit Score based on user activity and interactions within the server. This feature is only active if you provide the necessary permissions for the bot to access chat history.
• Improvement of Services: To enhance the functionality of the bot, resolve technical issues, and improve overall performance.

We do not share or sell your data to third parties. Any data collected by the bot is used solely for the purpose of operating and improving the bot’s functionality. However, please note the following:

• Third-Party Services: We may use third-party services to process data, such as cloud hosting providers. These services will have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.
• Server Admins: Server administrators may access the Social Credit Scores and other moderation data within their servers to help manage and monitor content. We do not share personal information or private messages.

We retain collected data as long as it is necessary for the functioning of the bot or until it is no longer required for moderation or other operational purposes. You can opt-out of data collection (such as chat history) by disabling the necessary permissions or removing the bot from your server. When you revoke permissions, data collection will cease, but previously collected data may still be retained in moderation logs.

We take reasonable measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please be aware that no method of data transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

As a server administrator or user, you have the right to:

• Access Data: You can review any data collected by the bot through server logs or custom queries, as appropriate.
• Opt-Out: You can disable specific permissions for the bot, such as chat history access, by adjusting the permissions when adding the bot to your server.

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time. Any changes will be posted here with an updated “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Statement periodically for any updates. Your continued use of the bot after changes to this Privacy Statement indicates your acceptance of the changes.

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Statement or the data practices of the CCP bot, please contact us at [Insert Contact Information, such as a Discord server or email].

By using the ChineseCensorProgram (CCP) Discord bot, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices outlined in this Privacy Statement.
