Last updated: January 9, 2026

Overview

SourceTrace is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

Information We Collect

When you use SourceTrace, we may collect the following information:

• Server IDs where the bot is installed
• Message content containing screenshots (temporarily processed for verification)
• Basic usage data such as command usage and response times
• User IDs of users who interact with the bot

How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

• Analyze screenshots and search for original sources
• Improve the bot's functionality and accuracy
• Monitor performance and fix technical issues
• Provide support to users

Data Storage and Retention

We do not permanently store the content of screenshots or messages. Screenshot data is processed in real-time and discarded after verification. Basic usage logs may be retained temporarily for debugging and improvement purposes.

• Request information about what data we have collected
• Request deletion of your data
• Remove the bot from your server at any time

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of SourceTrace after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
