1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how PartnerCord ("PartnerCord", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the PartnerCord Discord bot, connected website or dashboard, premium services, and related tools available through advertisingkingdom.xyz.
By using PartnerCord, you acknowledge that we may process information needed to operate the service, maintain server features, prevent abuse, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
2. Information We Collect
Depending on how you use PartnerCord, we may collect and process the following categories of information:
- Discord and account data: user IDs, usernames, server IDs, server names, roles, and related account or membership metadata provided through Discord
- Server configuration data: channels, permissions, setup choices, saved settings, cooldowns, trust or review settings, and feature configuration
- Submitted content: advertisements, descriptions, invite links, tags, reports, requests, review content, and other server-submitted material
- Invite data: stored invites, including invites created or saved during setup if you authorize that process
- Usage and log data: command usage, timestamps, moderation actions, feature activity, diagnostics, and error logs
- Website or dashboard data: authentication details, session data, preferences, and activity required to run connected web features
- Premium and billing-related data: subscription status, transaction references, and payment metadata provided by third-party billing services
Important: We do not intentionally collect private message content, voice content, or payment card numbers directly unless a specific feature requires submitted content or a third-party provider processes payment information on its own platform.
3. How We Use Information
We use collected information to operate, maintain, and improve PartnerCord. This may include using data to:
- set up and manage servers connected to PartnerCord
- create and store server invites when setup authorizes that action
- publish or process advertisements, partner posts, bumps, reviews, requests, reports, and trust-related workflows
- provide moderation, analytics, premium, and dashboard features
- detect abuse, enforce policies, investigate misuse, and protect the service
- debug issues, monitor performance, and improve reliability
- communicate notices, service changes, support responses, or administrative messages
- comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes
4. Invite Creation During Setup
If a server owner or administrator completes setup by clicking Finish Setup, PartnerCord may automatically create and store a permanent Discord invite when no invite has already been saved.
That invite may be used for service features such as advertisements, partner posts, bump messages, and related network functionality. Invite creation depends on the permissions granted to the bot and the configuration chosen by the server administrator.
5. Legal Bases and Service Necessity
We process information because it is necessary to provide the service you request, maintain the functionality of PartnerCord, pursue legitimate interests such as security and abuse prevention, and comply with legal requirements that apply to us.
If you choose not to provide information that is necessary for core bot or dashboard functionality, some features may not work correctly or may become unavailable.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share or disclose information only when reasonably necessary, including with:
- Discord and its APIs to provide bot functionality
- third-party services such as top.gg, Stripe, hosting providers, analytics providers, authentication providers, and website infrastructure providers
- service providers and contractors that help us operate, secure, or support PartnerCord
- legal or safety authorities if disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect rights, users, or the service
- business successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or asset transfer
You acknowledge that authorized PartnerCord owners, developers, or administrators may access relevant operational, server, and account-linked service data through internal staff tools where reasonably necessary for support, moderation, compliance, abuse prevention, security, or service administration.
7. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide PartnerCord, maintain server functionality, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, comply with legal obligations, and enforce our Terms of Service.
Retention periods may vary based on the type of data, the feature being used, and operational or legal requirements. Some information may be deleted or anonymized when it is no longer needed.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no service, storage system, or method of internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. Your Choices
Depending on how you use PartnerCord, you may be able to:
- remove the bot from your server to stop further server-side processing
- edit or remove configured content, settings, or invites through available commands or dashboard tools
- contact support to request information about stored data, corrections, or deletion where applicable
- stop using premium or connected website features at any time, subject to any applicable billing terms
- accept, reject, or later reopen cookie settings for optional website analytics on advertisingkingdom.xyz
10. Children's Privacy
PartnerCord is not intended for anyone who is not permitted to use Discord under Discord's rules or applicable law. We do not knowingly design the service for children who are below the minimum age required to use Discord in their region.
11. Third-Party Services
PartnerCord may rely on third-party platforms and providers, including Discord and payment or hosting services. Their data practices are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their independent handling of information.
12. Cookies and Website Analytics
On advertisingkingdom.xyz and related AKNetwork website pages, we use a consent banner for visitors in regions where consent is required before optional analytics is enabled.
If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics may collect website usage information such as page views, approximate location derived from IP address, browser and device details, and general interaction data. We use this information to understand traffic, improve the website, and measure which pages are helpful to visitors.
Google Analytics is not loaded until you actively accept it. If you reject optional cookies, analytics remains disabled. A small amount of browser storage may still be used to remember your cookie preference so the banner does not keep asking on every page view.
You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie Settings button shown on the website. Where supported, we also configure analytics to reduce personal data use, including IP anonymization.
13. Website Delivery, Cloudflare, and IP Handling
The AKNetwork website may use Cloudflare and similar infrastructure providers to deliver pages, cache content, improve speed, and protect the site from abuse, suspicious traffic, spam, or denial-of-service activity.
When Cloudflare or related edge infrastructure is used, those services may receive and process technical request data such as IP addresses, approximate location derived from IP, request headers, browser details, security events, and performance-related logs in order to route traffic, apply security protections, and keep the website available.
We use that infrastructure for website delivery and security, not to build unrelated marketing profiles. Cloudflare handles its own infrastructure-level processing under its own privacy documentation and retention practices.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updated versions take effect when published on this page. Your continued use of PartnerCord after an update means you acknowledge the revised Privacy Policy.
15. Contact
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact PartnerCord through the support server, support contact, or official links listed on the bot page or official website.
