Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 7, 2026

This page describes what Catty collects when you use the Discord bot and the web dashboard, why we collect it, and how you can ask us about it.

Who we are

Catty is a free Discord bot and dashboard run by the Catty project maintainers. We do not sell your data and we do not take payments.

On a given Discord server, the owner and admins decide how the bot is set up. We provide the service they use.

Contact details, when published, appear at the bottom of this page. You can also use the Discord support server linked in the footer.

What we collect

We collect information needed to run Catty:

  • Your Discord profile when you sign in: name, avatar, user ID, email, and the servers you can access
  • Dashboard preferences such as language, theme, and text size
  • How you use the bot on a server: message counts (not the text), commands, time in voice, music you play, saved playlists, economy, and games
  • Sign-in details used to protect your account: device, approximate city, and IP address (shown masked in your session list)
  • Warnings and verification status if a server uses those tools. Verification answers are posted to a Discord channel on that server, not kept by Catty

Message logs

Catty does not store the text of your Discord messages.

If a server admin turns on logging, deleted or edited messages and member events can be posted to a Discord channel they choose. People who can see that channel can read them. We do not control that channel.

Bug reports sent through the bot include your username, user ID, server name, and the description you write.

How we use it

We use this information to:

  • Sign you in, keep you signed in, and show the dashboard
  • Run music, moderation, economy, games, statistics, and server settings
  • Email you a copy of your data, a deletion confirmation, or a new-login alert
  • Keep the service secure and working

Who we share it with

We do not sell your information. We share what is needed to run Catty with:

  • Discord, for sign-in, bot features, and any log channel a server admin sets up
  • Our email provider (Resend), to send the emails above
  • The companies that host Catty
  • Music platforms you search or play, including YouTube, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and Bandcamp. The dashboard may load album art from those services
  • A location lookup (ipgeolocation.io) when it is turned on, so we can show an approximate city on your sessions and in login emails. Those emails may include a city map we build using OpenStreetMap; your inbox does not load the map from the internet

How long we keep it

We keep information while it is needed to run Catty:

  • Music history for 90 days
  • Sign-in sessions for 30 days, or until you sign out
  • Statistics, voice history, economy, games, playlists, and warnings until you delete your data, or about 14 days after the bot leaves the server
  • Backups for a limited time after deletion, and operator security logs of admin actions, which are not included in your export or deletion

If you are in the EEA or UK

We process this information:

  • To provide Catty when you add the bot or sign in
  • To keep the service secure and prevent abuse (a legitimate interest)
  • When the law requires us to keep or share it

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may ask us to:

  • Send you a copy of your data
  • Correct information that is wrong
  • Delete your Catty data
  • Limit or stop some uses of your data
  • Complain to a data protection authority. In Poland that is the President of UODO (uodo.gov.pl)

Export and deletion

In Account → Data & Privacy you can email yourself a copy of your data, or ask us to delete your Catty account. We confirm deletion with a link sent to your Discord email.

An export includes settings, sessions, statistics, music history, voice time, playlists, economy, games, and warnings. Older items in some lists may be left out. Deletion removes those records from Catty without that limit.

Deletion does not remove operator security logs, server settings, backups until they expire, or messages already posted to a Discord log channel. Ask that server's admins about channel logs.

Cookies

The dashboard uses cookies to keep you signed in and remember language and display choices. We do not use cookies for advertising or analytics. The Cookie Policy explains this in more detail.

Children

Catty follows Discord's age rules (at least 13, and older in some countries). We do not knowingly collect information from anyone below that age. If you think a child has used Catty, contact us and we will remove their data.

Changes

We may update this page. The "Last updated" date at the top shows which version applies.

Contact

For privacy questions or to use your rights, use the Discord support server linked in the footer. If we learn of a breach that affects your data, we will take the steps the law requires, including notifying you where we must.
