Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
Zero Message Storage Guarantee
News.gg does NOT record, store, log, or monitor any Discord user messages or server chat logs. Our bot solely processes incoming commands or direct @News.gg query mentions in transient volatile memory to deliver real-time news aggregation and analysis, and no message text or message history is ever retained, logged to disk, or stored in our databases.
1. Data Collection & Message Non-Storage Policy
News.gg collects only the minimum technical metadata necessary to provide and manage our aggregation services.
What We Do NOT Collect or Store:
- No Discord Chat Messages: We do not store, log, or save any messages sent in your servers or direct messages.
- No Message History: We do not archive past channel logs or conversation histories.
- No Private Communications: Your community's conversations remain strictly private.
The only technical information we store includes:
- Server ID: To identify which Discord server is configured to use our services
- Channel ID: To know which channel to send automated news updates and alerts to
- User ID: To identify server administrators for dashboard authentication and premium role verification
- Email Address: Only if optionally provided by you for account notifications, invoices, or support tickets
- Configuration Settings: Custom feed preferences, topic filters, market alert thresholds, and language preferences

We use the collected data for the following purposes:
- To provide and maintain our services
- To notify you about changes to our services

- Public Surveys: To collect user feedback on our platform. Reviews may be displayed publicly on our site as testimonials with your consent or administrative approval.
3. RSS Feeds and Analytics
When you add RSS feeds to our service, we store the feed URL to fetch updates. We do not claim ownership of the content in these feeds and are not responsible for their content.
Analytics Collection: We collect and store analytics data from RSS feed content, including article titles, descriptions, publication dates, and source information. This data is used to:
- Generate trivia questions and educational content for Discord servers

All analytics data is processed in accordance with this privacy policy and is used solely for service improvement and feature enhancement purposes.
4. Content Disclaimer
News.gg does not create news content but aggregates it from various sources. We are not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, or appropriateness of the content provided through our services.
5. Third-Party Services
We use third-party services to facilitate our services, including:
- Discord: For bot functionality and OAuth authentication
- Dodo Payments: For processing premium subscription payments
These third-party services have their own privacy policies, and we recommend reviewing them.
6. Data Security
We value your trust in providing us your personal information and strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
7. Data Retention
We will retain your data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies.
