Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 8, 2026

1. What Border does with data

Border ("the Bot") detects raids, spam and invite abuse inside each server it is in. It works with activity, such as who joined and when, how fast someone is posting and how many invites they create. It does not read message text. Each server's data is kept separate: nothing is shared between servers.

2. What we store

• Server settings: server ID, the alert channel ID, the ping role ID, the minimum confidence, and whether the optional automatic measures are on.
• Learned weights: how much each detection signal counts in your server, based on which alerts your moderators confirmed or ignored.
• Alerts: for each alert sent to your server, the alert message ID, the Discord user ID it is about (or the IDs of the accounts in a raid), the confidence and score, the evidence shown in the alert, any automatic measure taken, and whether a moderator confirmed or ignored it. Alerts are deleted after 30 days.
• Raid mode state: the server's previous verification level and whether invites were paused, so raid mode can be undone, also after a restart.
• Technical data: limited logs such as errors, used to keep the Bot running.

3. What we keep only in memory

To spot patterns, the Bot briefly keeps join times, account creation dates, message times with the channel and message IDs, and invite creation times. This is held in memory for a few minutes and is never written to the database. The message IDs are kept only so that, if you turned on automatic cleanup, the Bot can delete a flagged account's recent messages.

4. What we do not collect

• The content of messages, which the Bot cannot read because it does not use the Message Content intent.
• Direct messages between users.
• Data about users across servers. Earlier versions of Border shared moderation history between servers. That feature was removed and the old cross-server data was deleted.

The Bot uses the Server Members intent only to see when someone joins. The only direct message the Bot sends is a welcome message to the server owner when it is added.

5. Actions the Bot can take

The Bot bans, kicks or mutes someone only when a moderator presses the button. If an administrator enables them, two automatic measures can run on High confidence alerts: deleting up to 25 recent messages of the flagged account, and turning on raid mode (higher verification level, invites paused where Discord allows it, switched off after 30 minutes). Server staff are never flagged.

6. How we use it

• To detect raids and spam and send alerts to your server's moderators.
• To adjust detection to your server's decisions.
• To keep the Bot secure, prevent abuse, and fix errors.

We do not sell data and do not share it with advertisers.

7. Third parties

The Bot runs on Discord and uses the Discord API. Discord's Privacy Policy applies to data you give Discord. Our servers are provided by a hosting company, which processes data on our behalf.

8. How long we keep it

Alerts are deleted after 30 days. Settings and learned weights are kept while the Bot is in your server. When the Bot is removed from a server, everything stored about that server is deleted automatically. A server administrator can reset the learned weights at any time from /setup.

9. Your choices

You can ask us to show, correct or delete data we hold about you or your server. Send your Discord user ID or server ID to [email protected]. We may need to verify who you are. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local law.

10. Security and children

We take reasonable steps to protect the data, but no system is perfectly secure. The Bot is intended for Discord users who meet Discord's minimum age requirement, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone below it.

11. Changes and contact

We may update this policy, and the date above shows the latest version. Questions: [email protected], or join our support server.
