Botch doesn’t sell your data. Botch doesn’t spam you. Whatever data it collects is used solely to facilitate its primary functionality and to troubleshoot any bugs or support issues that might arise. Data is encrypted at rest in the database. Due to the nature of Discord, it is not and cannot be end-to-end encrypted.
User data
Discord data
Discord user IDs (e.g. 229736753676681230) are stored in Botch’s database for the purposes of character retrieval and statistical logging (rolls, command use, etc.)
Discord user locales are stored in command logs for statistical purposes.
Discord usernames (e.g. @tiltowait) are not stored in the database but are printed in some log statements. These logs are retained for 30 days.
Discord display names are not saved anywhere.
User-created data
Botch obviously stores any data you put into your character, such as name, profile, Custom Traits, etc., as well as any uploaded images.
Server data
Server names and IDs are stored in the database for the purposes of character retrieval and log entries. They are also printed in console logs, which are retained for 30 days.
Patreon data
Your Patreon supporter status is reflected in custom roles on The Second City. Your tier, and thus the size of your subscription (read: $) are divinable by your custom roles on the server. Botch itself does not store this data.
Examples
“Log data” is always frustratingly vague. In the interest of transparency, here are some real examples pulled from the database, without redaction. Plus, I enjoy seeing the technical details underpinning the applications I use; maybe someone else will find this interesting.
Example command log entry
{
_id: ObjectId('670d54f9ba7c41bcc46892c0'),
command: 'roll',
date: ISODate('2024-10-14T17:29:29.377Z'),
guild: Long('935219170176532580'),
locale: 'en-US',
options: [
{ value: 'stren+br', type: 3, name: 'pool' },
{ value: 6, type: 4, name: 'difficulty' }
],
type: 1,
user: Long('229736753676681230')
}
The corresponding console log entry:
INFO | COMMAND | `/roll` invoked by @tiltowait (229736753676681230) in The Second City (935219170176532580). Options: pool="stren+br", difficulty=6
Roll log entry
Roll logs are used for planned and current statistics commands (WoD players: try the /botches command!) as well as for debugging issues.
