1. Introduction

   In the digital landscape, data is essential for operating and enhancing online services, including ours. We recognize the importance of balancing necessary data collection with your right to privacy. This page is dedicated to informing you about our data practices, ensuring transparency and your privacy rights.
   
   Our Commitment to Data Collection and Privacy
   
   - Like any online service, we collect only the data necessary to deliver and improve our services. Our focus is on enhancing user experience while limiting data collection to what is strictly required.
   
   - We are committed to respecting your privacy. Therefore, we do not collect data classified as special or sensitive, such as racial or ethnic origins, political opinions, or religious beliefs. Your personal and sensitive information remains yours, and we are dedicated to keeping it that way.
   
   - Protecting the privacy of younger users is a priority. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under specific age thresholds, adhering to the strictest data protection laws.
   
   Transparency is the foundation of trust. We value clear communication about our data handling practices. If you have any questions or concerns regarding our approach to privacy and data collection, please contact us at hello@hammertime.studio.
   
   

2. Data Collection

   In our commitment to providing the Discord community with engaging and interactive services, certain features may involve data collection. This enables us to enhance our offerings while ensuring continuous development. For a comprehensive understanding of data handling practices, we encourage you to review Discord's Privacy Policy.
   
   The information shared with us by Discord includes, but may not be limited to:
   
   - Discord account details (user ID, username, display name, and account creation date)
   
   - Discord avatar URL hosted by Discord
   
   - Purchases made within Discord
   
   - Discord interactions with our services (such as commands used in our bot, message activity related to bot features, and server participation details)
   
   This list is provided to ensure transparency regarding the data we receive to improve our services. Please note that additional data may be shared with us depending on Discord's API and the permissions granted by users or server administrators.
   
   User data is generated upon the first interaction with our Discord bot or service, encompassing basic Discord account information shared with us via the Discord API. It is important to clarify that this does not create a separate account with us; all account management functions, including credentials, remain under Discord's control. Our access to this data is solely for the purpose of enhancing the services we provide within Discord.
   
   

3. Data Use

   Our use of collected data is solely focused on effectively operating and improving our Discord services, features, and functionalities. This data helps us enhance user experience, optimize interactions, and ensure the smooth operation of our bot and services. We handle this data with strict adherence to privacy principles, maintaining transparency and responsibility at all times.
   
   

4. Data Sharing

   Our approach to data sharing follows the principle of minimal necessity and full transparency. Our Discord bot and services do not sell, rent, or trade user data with third parties. Data sharing is strictly limited to cases where it is essential for providing and improving our services, complying with legal obligations, or ensuring a better user experience. Our top priority is maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of your data while safeguarding the trust you place in us.
   
   

5. Billing Data

   If you make a purchase within our services using Discord's monetization features (such as Server Subscriptions or Premium perks), your transaction is subject to Discord's payment policies. By making a purchase, certain billing information may be shared with us by Discord for compliance with legal and tax regulations. We do not store or process payment details directly; all transactions are handled through Discord's payment system.
   
   

6. User Rights

   In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable privacy laws, we fully recognize and support your rights regarding your personal data. If you are located within the European Union, you are entitled to the following rights under GDPR:
   
   - The right to obtain confirmation as to whether your personal data is being processed, and, if so, access to that data along with details of its processing.
   
   - The right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data concerning you.
   
   - The right to request the erasure of your personal data under certain circumstances.
   
   - If the processing of your personal data is based on consent, the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing based on consent.
   
   To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@hammertime.studio. We are committed to handling your requests in compliance with GDPR and applicable laws. For security purposes, we may ask for verification to confirm your identity before processing your request.
   
   Our data collection approach is minimalistic, ensuring that we only collect what is necessary for the smooth operation and improvement of our Discord services. We do not engage in selling or trading user data with third parties. Protecting your privacy and maintaining trust is our top priority, and we adhere strictly to ethical data handling practices.
   
   We take a global approach to legal compliance and privacy protection, striving to create a safe and trustworthy environment for all our users, regardless of their location. If you have any questions regarding our data protection and privacy policies or require more information about compliance in your region, please do not hesitate to contact us at hello@hammertime.studio.
   
   

7. Children's Privacy

   Our service does not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under the age of 13 (or a higher age threshold as required by local laws) without verified parental consent or as permitted by law. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child without proper consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that information.
   
   

8. Data Deletion

   If you wish to request the deletion of your personal data, please contact us at hello@hammertime.studio. Data deletion requests are handled in accordance with your Right to Erasure as outlined in Article 17 of the GDPR. Once your request is processed, your data will be permanently removed, and you will no longer have access to it.
   
   Since our service operates within Discord, please note that deleting your data with us does not impact your Discord account, which remains under Discord's control. If you wish to delete your Discord account, you must do so directly through Discord's account settings.
   
   

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

   We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. Changes to our Privacy Policy will become effective once posted on this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our privacy practices.
   
   Your continued use of our Discord services after any updates to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with the updated Privacy Policy, you should discontinue using our services.
