Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 October 2026

This policy explains what data Takina (“the Bot”) collects, why, and what you can do about it. It is written to comply with the Personal Data Protection Law of Saudi Arabia (PDPL). By using the Bot, you consent to the practices described here. This policy covers the public instance run by orangc; if you use a self-hosted copy, its operator is responsible for that copy.

Data we store

Takina stores only what a feature needs in order to work:

• Identifiers. Discord user, server, channel, role and message IDs, and the usernames shown in moderation cases.
• Server settings. Your server's custom prefix, and the channels and roles chosen for the modlog, reports, honeypot and starboard, and whether GitHub previews are on.
• Moderation cases. The action taken, the affected members and the moderator, the reason, the duration and the time, and where the case was logged so that edits can update it.
• Content you give the Bot. Reminders, AFK statuses, giveaway details, entries and winners, and trigger phrases with their responses.

Takina does not keep a log of ordinary messages. It reads messages as they arrive so that features like triggers, the starboard, AFK notices, honeypots and link previews can work, and then forgets them. The one exception is the honeypot: when it catches someone, the message that tripped it, attachments included, is posted to that server's modlog so its moderators can see what happened. It is not stored in the Bot's database.

Third-party services

Some commands pass what you type (a search term, a username, a location) to an outside service to fetch a result, such as MyAnimeList through Tenrai, Wikipedia, Steam, weather and prayer-time providers, and the Hypixel and Wynncraft APIs. Those services have their own privacy policies, and we have no control over them.

Why we use it

Solely to provide and maintain the Bot's features and to keep servers moderated. We do not use your data for advertising or profiling.

Retention

Data is kept for as long as the feature that needs it. Reminders are removed once delivered or deleted. Settings, cases and other data remain until a server administrator or the data subject asks for removal, or until the Bot is removed and the data is purged. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted.

Security

Data lives in a PostgreSQL database on infrastructure controlled by the Bot's developer, and we apply reasonable technical and organisational measures against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot promise otherwise.

Sharing

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with third parties without your explicit consent, except as required by law or to protect our rights. Moderation cases are visible to the moderators of the server in which they were created.

International transfers

If your data is transferred outside Saudi Arabia, including through Discord's own infrastructure, we will take steps to ensure the transfer complies with the PDPL and other applicable laws.

Your rights

Under the PDPL you may:

• Request access to your personal data.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal obligations.
• Request restriction of processing, or object to it.

To exercise these rights, email takina@orangc.net from an address we can reasonably associate with you, along with your Discord user ID. Reminders, AFK status and triggers can also be removed directly with their own commands.

Children

Discord requires its users to be at least 13 years old (or older where local law demands). Takina is not directed at anyone younger.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with a new “last updated” date, and continued use of the Bot after that counts as acceptance.
