Curious Jorge Privacy Policy
Effective: November 9, 2026
Curious Jorge ("the bot") is a Discord bot that posts a question of the day. This policy explains what the bot stores, why, and how to have it removed. It is run by Scott Magee ("we").
What the bot stores
The bot only stores what it needs to run the question queue and the moderator dashboard. It never reads messages in your channels; it only receives the slash commands you send it.
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
Server ID and queue mode (one queue per server or per channel), plus the user ID of whoever last ran /setup and when |
When someone runs /setup |
To know how the server is set up |
| Channel IDs, posting hour, the role to ping (if any) and whether to open threads | When someone runs /setup or /setchannel |
To post questions in the right place at the right time |
| Question text, the user ID of whoever added it, the server and channel it was added in, when it was added, its place in the queue, and whether and when it was posted. If it was edited, the user ID of whoever edited it and when | When someone runs /addq, /editq or /moveq |
To build the queue and credit the person who suggested the question |
| A change log: for each change to a server's questions or settings, the user ID of whoever made it, when, and what changed (for example, the question number and its old and new wording) | When someone adds, edits, moves, deletes or posts a question, adds or removes a starter pack, or changes settings | So the server's moderators can see who changed what |
| The date the bot was removed from a server | When the bot finds it is no longer in a server | To delete that server's data 30 days later |
| A dashboard sign-in: your user ID, username, display name and avatar, and the servers where you have Manage Server or Manage Messages (their IDs, names, icons and which of those permissions you have) | When you sign in to the dashboard with Discord | To show you the servers you can manage, and to keep you signed in |
Apart from dashboard sign-ins, the bot does not store usernames, messages, server member lists, IP addresses, email addresses or any other information.
Signing in to the dashboard. "Sign in with Discord" only asks Discord for your basic profile (identify) and your server list (guilds), never your email address or messages. Discord gives the bot a temporary access token, which it uses once to read those two things and then cancels straight away; it's never stored. To keep you signed in, the dashboard sets one cookie, which holds a random session ID and only works on the dashboard's website (and a second, 10-minute cookie while you're signing in, to check the sign-in really started there). There are no tracking, analytics or advertising cookies.
Using the dashboard. While you use it, the bot looks up from Discord your current roles in the server (to check you still have Manage Server or Manage Messages), the server's channels and roles (for the settings), and the display names of people who added questions or appear in the change log. These lookups are kept in memory for a few minutes at most and are never stored.
Logs. When the bot handles a command, posts a question or answers a dashboard request, it writes a short technical log line: which command ran, the server and channel IDs involved, and any errors. Logs don't contain user IDs, question text or message content. They are kept for 30 days and are used only to fix problems.
How it's used
Stored information is used only to run the bot: to post questions, show the queue with /listq and in the dashboard, and credit the person who suggested a question (shown as a Discord mention under the posted question). We don't sell it, share it with anyone else, use it for advertising or use it to train AI models.
Questions you add are shown to your server when they're posted, and to anyone in that server who runs /listq.
Where it's stored
Data is stored in Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the United States (us-east-1), in a database only the bot can access. AWS stores it on our behalf and doesn't use it for its own purposes. To recover from mistakes, the database keeps automatic backups for 35 days.
Your use of Discord itself is covered by Discord's Privacy Policy.
How long it's kept, and removing it
- Questions are kept until they're deleted. Anyone with Manage Messages in the server can delete one with
/delq. - Change log entries are deleted automatically after 90 days. A deleted question's wording can stay in the change log until then.
- Dashboard sign-ins are deleted when you sign out, and automatically 12 hours after you signed in.
- Posting channels are removed when someone with Manage Server runs
/unsetchannel. - Removing the bot from your server stops it posting. Within a day the bot notices it has been removed, and 30 days later all of that server's data is deleted automatically: its setup, posting channels, every question and its change log. If the bot is added back within those 30 days, everything picks up where it left off. To have a server's data deleted sooner, contact us (below).
- Your own data: to have the questions you've added deleted, or to ask what's stored about your user ID, contact us with your Discord user ID.
We'll handle requests within 30 days. Deleted data may remain in backups for up to 35 days, then it's gone.
Children
Discord requires users to be at least 13 (or the minimum age in your country). The bot is not meant for anyone below Discord's minimum age, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top. If a change significantly affects what's stored, we'll also mention it in the bot's support channels.
