🛡️ VellBot War — Policies, Terms & Other Serious-Sounding Stuff

2. Who We Are

VellBot War ("the Bot", "we", "us") is a Discord bot designed to coordinate game events, rosters, and communications.

It is operated out of Australia. That means we loosely follow Australian laws, common sense, and the sacred rule of "don't be a dick."

3. What Data We Collect

We keep it lean. No data hoarding like a dragon on a crypto binge.

• Discord User ID
• Discord username and display name
• Server (guild) ID
• Game-related info you provide, such as character name or class
• Event participation data including attendance and rosters

We do not collect:

• Passwords
• Payment information
• Your deepest secrets, unless you DM them and even then... maybe don't

4. Why We Collect It

Purely to make the bot work.

• Assigning you to raid rooms
• Tracking attendance
• Displaying rosters
• Making sure the right people get the right instructions

No marketing. No ads. No "Hey mate, buy this crypto coin."

5. How Your Data Is Stored

• Stored in a database, hosted securely... or at least as securely as a bloke with Docker and determination can manage
• Access is restricted to the bot system and its operator
• Data is stored in UTC because time zones are chaos
• We take reasonable steps to protect data. Not Fort Knox, but definitely not a sticky note under the keyboard either

6. Data Sharing (Spoiler: We Don't)

We do not sell, rent, trade, or "accidentally leak" your data.

Data is only shared:

• With Discord, because it's literally running on Discord
• If required by law, and even then we'll sigh heavily first

7. Your Rights (Yes, You Have Some)

Depending on where you live, including Australia, the EU, and similar jurisdictions, you may have rights to:

• Access your data
• Request deletion
• Tell us to stop storing your stuff

If you want your data gone, ask. We'll nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

8. Use of the Bot (Terms of Use)

By using VellBot War, you agree to:

• Use it for its intended purpose: gaming coordination
• Not abuse, spam, exploit, or break it
• Not use it to harass others or bypass Discord rules
• Accept that sometimes it might break at the worst possible time

Admins and server owners are responsible for how they use the bot in their server.

9. DMs & Notifications

The bot may send you DMs only if:

• You've interacted with it
• You've opted in via server use

No spam. No marketing. Just raid business. If you don't like it, block it. We won't take it personally.

10. Availability (a.k.a. "It Might Be Down")

We aim for high uptime... but:

• Servers crash
• Code breaks
• The universe occasionally says "not today"

We are not liable for missed raids, lost glory, or emotional damage caused by poor roster assignments.

11. Limitation of Liability

Use the bot at your own risk.

We are not responsible for:

• Lost game progress
• Clan drama
• Discord arguments that escalate into philosophical debates

If something goes wrong, we'll try to fix it. No promises, just effort.

12. International Use

VellBot War may be used globally.

• 🇦🇺 Australia → You're covered by Australian privacy principles
• 🇪🇺 EU → We loosely align with GDPR principles, including data minimisation and transparency
• 🌍 Anywhere else → Same rules apply: minimal data, no funny business

13. Changes to These Policies

We may update this page from time to time. If we do:

• It'll still be readable
• It'll still be fair
• It might still be slightly sarcastic

14. Contact

If something's broken, weird, or mildly concerning:

• Contact via Discord through a server admin or the bot owner
• Or yell into the void and hope we hear it

15. Final Word

VellBot War exists to make organised chaos slightly less chaotic.

Play fair. Stay civil. Win wars.
