Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-09

What we collect

To operate R.E.X, we store: your Discord user and server (guild) IDs; the ARK server connection details you provide (Nitrado token, RCON host/port/password); bot preferences (announcement channel, admin role, panel message); and gameplay data the bot reads from your ARK server logs (player names, SteamID64/platform IDs, tribe names, chat and event history) so commands like /search and the dashboard can work.

What we don't collect

We don't read or store Discord message content, except in the one channel an administrator chooses for cross-chat (see below). We don't collect payment card details (donations are processed by the ARK server itself, not by us), or data from Discord servers the bot isn't in.

Cross-chat and message content

If an administrator turns on cross-chat, R.E.X reads the messages written in that single channel only, and relays their text and the author's server nickname to the linked ARK servers' in-game chat. Messages from other channels, from bots and from webhooks are ignored. These messages are relayed and not stored by R.E.X.

How it's used

Data is used only to operate the bot and web panel for the Discord servers that added it: running commands, showing dashboards, sending alerts, and enforcing bans/whitelists you configure.

Storage and retention

Data is stored on the server hosting the bot. Credentials (RCON passwords, Nitrado tokens) are only used to connect to the ARK server you linked. Removing the bot from your Discord server, or using /setup to clear credentials, deletes the corresponding connection details.

Sharing

We don't sell or share your data with third parties, except the minimum needed to operate (Discord's API, and your own ARK server/Nitrado, which you explicitly connect).

Contact

For questions about this policy or to request deletion of your data, contact the server owner who operates this bot.
