MechanicalMilkshake

MechanicalMilkshake processes some data provided by Discord, but does not store this data. This data may consist of:

• The content of any message sent in any Discord channel where MechanicalMilkshake has permission to read messages (including future updates to the message's content)
• Certain data about the author of any message sent in any Discord channel where MechanicalMilkshake has permission to read messages, such as their user ID, username, or display name
• Certain data about you if you or another user use a command that fetches data about you or your profile, such as your user ID, display name, avatar, when you created your Discord account, any roles you may have in a server, and any badges you may have on your Discord profile

MechanicalMilkshake offers features such as keyword tracking that require it to process all messages sent in any channels it is able to read messages in. It does this so that it can notify a user if a keyword they have chosen to track is mentioned. MechanicalMilkshake keeps a temporary cache of message IDs, and their respective authors' user IDs, to reduce the number of requests made to Discord. MechanicalMilkshake only keeps this data in memory for the most recent message sent in any Discord channel. This information is never stored persistently, and you may request to have your data deleted from this cache or opt out of it at any time by emailing me at the address at the top of this page. If you are a server administrator, you may also deny MechanicalMilkshake permission to read messages in any channel whose messages you do not want processed.

MechanicalMilkshake collects some data that is stored persistently, however only under certain circumstances. This data may consist of:

• Your Discord user ID
• Some user-submitted content

MechanicalMilkshake offers features such as reminders that require it to store some information, such as your Discord user ID and the content of any reminders you set, persistently. This information is deleted as soon as possible - in the case of reminders, it is deleted when the reminder is triggered at the time you specify.
