Cavalera Forge for Discord · Privacy Policy

This page describes the data processed by the Cavalera Forge Discord application. It does not cover the Cavalera.news newsletter, which has its own policy.

Data controller

The service is published and operated in a personal capacity by the author of Cavalera.news. Contact: contact@cavalera.news

Data collected

• your Discord user ID and your username at the time of use;
• the server and channel ID the request comes from;
• the command or button used, and the item consulted;
• any free text you type, whether a product search or a question put to the assistant;
• the interface language in effect and your display preferences;
• technical measurements: timestamp, response time, volume processed.

The application does not read channel messages. It does not hold the Discord permission granting access to message content, and only reacts to its own commands and buttons.

Purposes

Running the service and answering your request, moderating abusive or inappropriate use, and understanding which features are most used in order to improve the tool. No data is sold, rented or passed to third parties for commercial purposes.

Conversational assistant

When the assistant is enabled on a server and you ask it a question, the text of that question is sent to a language model provider to produce the answer. Only the question is sent, never your identity or username.

Retention

The text of your questions and searches is kept for ninety days, then deleted automatically. Aggregated counters, which no longer allow the content to be reconstructed, are kept beyond that for statistical purposes.

Access to data

Only the service operator accesses this data, through an administration console protected by authentication. Data is hosted in France on a dedicated server.

Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict and object. To exercise these rights, write to contact@cavalera.news stating your Discord user ID. A deletion request is handled within thirty days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority.

Changes

This policy may change. The date of the latest update appears at the top of this page.
