GRIP Privacy Policy
Last updated 6 August 2026
GRIP is a Discord bot for the GRIP family of World of Warcraft addons. It is run by Jesper Driessen (MrSataana) on his own hardware. This page says what it stores and why, in plain terms.
What GRIP stores
- Discord identifiers: user IDs, server IDs, channel IDs, role IDs and message IDs.
- Records of commands run through the bot, so features can respond and so faults can be traced.
- Feature state, such as which items a feed has already posted, so a restart does not repeat itself.
- Message content, only where a feature you use needs it, and only in servers where GRIP has been added.
What GRIP does not do
- It does not sell or share your data with anyone.
- It does not run advertising or third-party analytics.
- It does not read direct messages between other people.
- It does not collect payment details. It takes no payments.
Where the data lives
On a single self-hosted machine in the United Kingdom, reachable only through an encrypted Cloudflare Tunnel. There is no third-party database and no external hosting provider holding this data. Operational logs are kept on the same machine and age out automatically.
How long it is kept
Feature state is kept while the feature is in use. Logs are kept for a limited period and then deleted automatically. If GRIP is removed from a server, its stored state for that server stops being used and can be deleted on request.
Your choices
Removing GRIP from a server stops all collection for that server. You can ask what is stored about you, and you can ask for it to be deleted, by emailing [email protected]. Requests are handled by a person, so allow a few days.
Children
GRIP is not directed at children. Discord requires users to meet a minimum age, which varies by country. Do not use GRIP if you do not meet Discord's minimum age.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
