Privacy Policy

The short version

Affilify stores your server's affiliate tag, your custom footer, and a count of links generated per Amazon region. It does not store the content of your messages and does not store a persistent Discord user ID anywhere. Everything below explains exactly why.

What we collect

Affilify keeps a local database with three tables, one row per server (and per region, where relevant):

Table	Fields	Purpose
guild_affiliates	Server ID, Amazon region, tracking tag	Remembers your affiliate tag per marketplace, set via /configure
guild_settings	Server ID, footer text	Remembers your custom footer, set via /configure
link_stats	Server ID, region, timestamp	Powers the counts shown by /stats

That's the entire schema. Nothing else is written to disk.

What we don't collect

• No message content. Affilify reads a message only to check whether it's a raw Amazon link. The message text itself is never written to the database — only the region it resolved to, and a timestamp.
• No persistent user ID. When your footer includes the {{sender}} placeholder, Affilify substitutes a live mention of whoever ran /amazon at the moment it replies. That mention exists only in the reply Discord sends — it is generated in memory and never stored.
• No Amazon account data. Affilify only ever touches the URL you give it; it has no access to your Amazon account, order history, or browsing activity.

How we use this information

• Apply the correct tracking tag to Amazon links you or your members submit.
• Apply your configured footer text to Affilify's replies.
• Compute the totals and top-regions breakdown shown by /stats.

Storage & security

Data lives in a single local SQLite database file on the server that runs the bot. It is not replicated to a third-party analytics or advertising service, sold, or shared with anyone else.

Data retention & deletion

Configuration and stats for your server are kept until you ask for them to be removed. Removing Affilify from your server stops any further data collection immediately, but existing rows aren't deleted automatically — to have your server's configuration and stats erased, email us at affilify-bot.lolj1@aleeas.com with your server ID.

Sharing & disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share this data with third parties. It is used solely to operate Affilify's own features. When you use /amazon, the resulting link may earn an Amazon Associates commission — for the server's configured tag if one is set, or for the developer's default tag as a fallback if not. This is disclosed here and in the Terms of Service.

Discord permissions used

• View Channels / Read Messages — to detect raw Amazon links.
• Send Messages — to reply with the cleaned link.
• Manage Messages — to remove the original untagged link once it's replaced.
• Embed Links — for the /stats embed and link buttons.

Your rights

Server owners and administrators can view current configuration and stats at any time via /configure and /stats, and can remove Affilify from their server at any time. Anyone can request deletion of a server's stored data by emailing us at affilify-bot.lolj1@aleeas.com.

Children's privacy

Affilify is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly process data belonging to anyone under 13, consistent with Discord's own Terms of Service.

International users

Affilify is operated from Germany.
