Scripture Reader Privacy Policy

Scripture Reader is a Discord bot, run by BilbroSwagginz, that reads the Bible aloud in voice channels. This page covers the bot only. Use of the bot is governed by the Scripture Reader Terms of Service. Everything else we run is covered by our main Privacy Policy.

What the bot stores

For each server, the bot saves three settings, chosen by that server's managers:

• the default volume;
• the Reader role, if a manager has picked one;
• whether continuous play is on by default.

Nothing else about servers or users is stored.

What it never stores

• Message content.
• User IDs.
• Anyone's voice. The bot joins voice channels deafened, so it never receives or records audio from users.

What it uses while running

To answer commands, the bot uses the commands you send, your display name (shown on the queue and the now-playing card) and who is in its voice channel. This is held in memory only, and it is gone when the reading session ends or the bot restarts.

Logs

The computer that runs the bot keeps short rotating logs, at most 30 MB in total, to fix problems. They hold server IDs, channel IDs and command names. They hold no message content and no user IDs.

Deleting your server's data

Remove the bot from the server, or have a server manager run /settings reset. Either one deletes the server's stored settings at once. Backup copies of the settings file, when made, are deleted after 14 days.

Sharing

No data is sold or shared. There are no ads and no analytics. Discord's own handling of your data is covered by Discord's Privacy Policy.

Children

Scripture Reader is used through Discord, so Discord's age requirements apply to everyone who uses it. The bot collects nothing beyond what this page describes.
