Benedict 99-40 - Privacy Policy
Effective: January 1st, 2020.
Layer 7 Solutions, LLC ("Layer 7 Solutions", "Layer7.Solutions", "us", "we", or "our") operates Benedict-9940.com (the "Website") and the "Benedict 99-40" Discord bot (the "Bot"), collectively referred to as the "Service".
This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies regarding how we collect, use, and handle your information
What and Why
On Discord Guilds employing our Bot
As a baseline, when the Bot is employed to a Discord Guild we will begin recording all messages made to the Guild. This includes the body, time posted, time updated, attached file link URLs, Guild id, channel id, the author, and possibly other metadata of the messages.
The Bot provides various functionalities; for example, our moderation functionalities or our modmail functionality. Using these functionalities will create records in our database. For example, muting a user with our bot would create an entry in our database. These records are retained so the bot knows when to reverse actions that have an expiration date (such as a temporary mute) and also to allow users of the Service to search through past records via the Website.
On users of the Website
By logging into our Website using your Discord account, you agree to give us access to information afforded to us by Discord limited to the "identify" OAuth scope. This scope only gives us access to: your Discord user id, your Discord username, your Discord avatar. This information may be kept indefinitely unless manually revoked through user request to our staff team.
Layer 7 Solutions may collect limited non-personally identifying information your browser makes available whenever you visit any website on the internet. This information may include but not limited to your Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, OS version, the date and time of your visit and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We use this information to operate, develop and improve our Services. This information may be kept indefinitely.
A "cookie" is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service. You can set your browser settings to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some Website features, mainly the ability to login to our website, may not function properly without cookies. We only use cookies for session management purposes. There also may be third-party cookies set by Cloudflare, our Content Delivery Network provider.
How
Services The information collected by our Service is used to provide, improve, and protect our Service. We do not hand out, share, or sell any of this information to anyone or any entity.
Retention If the Bot is removed from a Discord Guild it was employed at, then no further information will be collected from that Guild, but existing collected information may be retained such that if the Bot is later re-employed, your Guild's staff still have access to past information. To have all information and user content collected from your Guild deleted, have the Guild Owner or someone who has the Guild Owner's consent contact us asking for this information to be deleted.
With Whom
Essential Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services to store, process, or transmit data, or perform other technical functions related to operating our Services. These third-party services currently only include the Discord API, our server host (Google Cloud Platform Hosting), our Content Delivery Network (Cloudflare CDN), and our DNS Registrar (Cloudflare Registrar).
The staff team of a Discord Guild
If the staff team of a Discord Guild asks for information we have regarding their Guild, we may provide that information to them.
Those You Consent To
We may offer our information to any third party provided that you give your explicit consent.
For example, a Website user can obtain information through our API and relay that information to third-parties or give their API Key to third-parties.
Our Staff
Your information may be accessible to any of Layer 7 Solutions's staff who need to access that information in order to operate, develop or improve our Services.

Information Security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data.
If we terminate your access to the Service, we may retain enough information to prevent you from signing up for the Service in the future.
Your Choices
We respect user privacy rights and will delete any Discord user's content from our server(s) and database(s) should that user content be already deleted from Discord and should the user contact us.
We do not allow any Discord users to opt-out from having their user content collected on Discord Guilds that employ our Service. A Discord User can identify Guilds that use our Service by seeing if "Benedict 99-40" or "Sweeper Bot" is in the online list of users in a Discord Guild. If a Discord user does not want their user content collected, we encourage them not to participate in Discord Guilds that use our Service.
Changes
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time, the most recent version will always be at beta.benedict-9940.com/privacy. If a revision meaningfully reduces your rights, we will notify you.
