Privacy Policy

What Nexus stores, why it stores it, and how you can have it removed.

Effective: August 6, 2026 Applies to: all servers using Nexus Storage: per-server, isolated
01

Overview

Nexus is a Discord bot, and almost everything it stores exists to make its own commands work: remembering your level, your warning history in one server, or how many coins you've earned. This policy explains what that data is, where it lives, and how to get rid of it.

Nexus never sees anything outside of the servers it's added to and the messages/interactions Discord delivers to it there. It has no access to your DMs unless you message it directly, and no access to other Discord servers it isn't a member of.

02

Data we store

Nexus stores the minimum needed to run each feature a server's administrators turn on. This is everything it may retain:

CategoryWhat's stored
IdentifiersDiscord user IDs, server (guild) IDs, and channel/role IDs — never your email, real name, or IP address
ModerationWarning reasons and timestamps, moderator action counts
Leveling & economyXP, level, coin balance, and shop purchase history, per server
InvitesInvite counts per inviter, per server
Server configSettings an administrator sets through /config or /setup — channel and role IDs, message templates, feature toggles
Feature dataAFK status and reason, custom command triggers/responses, starred message IDs, tree-game progress, active tickets and competitions
Uploaded filesAudio clips uploaded through /soundboard, stored as files tied to the uploading server
Temporary, in-memory onlyReminders, giveaway state, and the music queue — none of this survives a restart, by design

Nexus does not log or retain the general content of your messages. Message text is only read in the moment to check things like auto-moderation filters or level-up cooldowns, and is not saved afterward — the one exception is a short-lived, in-memory cache of the single most recently deleted message per channel, used by /snipe, which is overwritten by the next deletion and is never written to disk.

03

How we use it

Data is used only to operate the feature it belongs to: showing your rank, enforcing a server's auto-moderation rules, remembering a ticket's support role, and so on. We don't use it for advertising, don't build profiles of you across servers, and don't sell or rent it to anyone.

04

Third-party services

A few commands call free, public third-party APIs to fetch content — for example a random meme, a joke, a trivia question, a dictionary definition, or a Bible verse. These requests typically send only the command's own input (like a word you asked to define); they don't include your Discord identity. We don't control these third parties' own data practices and encourage you to review them if you have concerns.

Music playback streams audio from YouTube on request. No Discord user data is sent to YouTube beyond what's needed to fetch the requested video's audio.

05

Retention and isolation

Data is stored per server and isn't shared between servers — a warning issued in one community has no effect on, and isn't visible in, any other. Data for a given server is generally kept for as long as Nexus remains in that server, so its features keep working. Removing Nexus from a server doesn't automatically erase that server's stored data, in case the server re-adds it later, but you can request deletion at any time — see the next section.

06

Your choices and deletion

You can clear most of your own data yourself, at any time, without asking anyone:

For anything you can't clear yourself — for example, wanting your leveling or economy history erased outright — contact us through Nexus's support server (see Contact) and we'll delete it.

A server's administrators can also request deletion of their entire server's stored data by removing Nexus and contacting us.

07

Children's privacy

Nexus is only available through Discord and inherits Discord's own minimum age requirements. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone below the age Discord itself requires for an account.

08

Security

Stored data is kept on infrastructure we control and isn't publicly accessible. No method of storage is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect what's stored, including restricting access to the systems that hold it.

09

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as Nexus's features change. Meaningful changes will be reflected by updating the effective date at the top of this page.
