Welcome!

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, protect, and share your personal information through our services. If you reside in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Discord Netherlands BV is the “data controller” of your personal information collected through the services (as defined in our Terms of Service). For everyone else, Discord Inc. is the data controller. It’s important that you read this entire policy, but here’s a summary to get you started:

• We care a lot about privacy. We are committed to enabling you to build meaningful connections around the joy of playing games through voice, video and text features. Respecting user privacy is a key part of that mission.
• We don’t sell your personal information. Our business is funded through subscriptions, paid products, and sponsored content, not based on selling your personal information to third parties.
• We limit what information is required. We require the information that enables us to create your account, provide and maintain our services, meet our commitments to our users, and satisfy our legal requirements. The rest is optional.
• We care deeply about safety. Our dedicated Trust and Safety team works hard to help keep our users safe. We also use certain information to help us identify violations of our terms and policies (such as our Community Guidelines) in order to prevent harmful content or conduct on the services.
• We give you control. We give you the ability to control your privacy on Discord.

A little bit about Discord

Discord enables you to build meaningful connections around the joy of playing games through voice, video, and text features. Whether you’re part of a club, gaming group, or just a handful of friends that want to spend time together, Discord makes it easy to connect with friends.

Our “services” has the same meaning as defined in the Terms of Service. They include the Discord app, which can be accessed on mobile, web, desktop, console, or even a connected home appliance—any device with a web browser and internet connection. We also have a website, blog, and support center, and we may collect your information through other means like surveys, emails, and social media. If we build another product, our services include that too.

As explained in our Terms of Service, we allow users to add content to the services in a number of different ways, including via direct messages and in smaller and larger spaces. If you share content within larger spaces, that content may be accessed by many people, including people you do not know. For example, some servers are available in the Server Discovery section of the app and do not require an invite link to join. Other server owners may publish their server invite link on public websites. Anyone can access these servers, and you should be aware that server owners or admins set these permissions, and like the size of a server, the permissions may change over time.
