Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. It is InviteForge's policy to respect your privacy and comply with any applicable law and regulation regarding any personal information we may collect about you, including through our bot InviteForge operating on discord.com and our website invite-forge.com.

Information We Collect

We collect the minimum amount of information necessary to operate the service. This includes:

• Discord Guild ID — to identify and configure your server
• Discord User ID — to attribute invites and manage leaderboard entries
• Invite data Invite codes, usage counts, and join/leave events
• Message count Per-user message count per server — only the count is stored, never the content of messages
• Billing Stripe customer and subscription IDs for premium plan management (no card data is stored by us)
• Config Server settings such as channel IDs, message templates, and reward configurations

We do not collect message content, voice data, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information beyond what Discord exposes through its public API.

Legitimate Reasons for Processing Your Information

We only collect and use your personal information when we have a legitimate reason for doing so. Data is collected solely to provide, maintain, and improve the InviteForge service — including invite tracking, leaderboard ranking, reward automation, and premium subscription management.

How We Use Your Information

• To track and attribute Discord server invites in real time
• To generate leaderboards, analytics, and statistics for server administrators
• To trigger auto-role rewards when invite milestones are reached
• To send join/leave messages and join DM messages based on your server's configuration
• To manage premium subscriptions via Stripe
• To display your server's data on the InviteForge dashboard

Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your server has InviteForge installed or as long as necessary to provide the service. When you remove the bot from your server or request deletion, your data will be deleted or anonymised within a reasonable period.

Billing records may be retained longer where required by applicable accounting or legal obligations.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate InviteForge:

• Discord — the underlying platform. Subject to Discord's own Privacy Policy.
• Stripe — payment processing for premium subscriptions. Stripe does not share card details with us.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.

Discord Gateway Intents

InviteForge requests the following privileged Discord Gateway Intents, each used for a specific and limited purpose:

• GUILD_MEMBERS Used to detect when members join or leave a server, in order to attribute invites, update leaderboard counts, and send join/leave messages configured by the server administrator.
• GUILD_MESSAGES Used to count messages per user per server. This count is used to enforce the optional minimum message requirement for giveaway eligibility. Message content is never read or stored.
• MESSAGE_CONTENT Required by Discord to receive message events. InviteForge does not read, store, or process the content of any message — only the fact that a message was sent (user ID, server ID, channel ID) is used to increment the message count.

Security

We protect your information within commercially acceptable means to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data (right to erasure)
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
