Discord

You are agreeing that Discord keeps your personal data indefinitely based on their own determination of when it is no longer needed.

“We retain personal information until we determine it is no longer needed for the processing purposes for which we collected or retain it or for legal compliance.”

What that means: Your data remains in Discord's possession even if you stop using the service actively, with no guaranteed deletion timeline other than account closure.

The policy allows indefinite retention of data based on vague "processing purposes" without a fixed expiration date, meaning your history stays with them forever if they choose.

You are agreeing that Discord collects data about your interactions with their ads on other platforms and purchases demographic data from outside sources.

“We may also receive certain information when you click on a referral link, such as which website you came from. We may also receive information about you from advertisers and third-party data providers...”

What that means: Your usage patterns outside of Discord may be linked back to your account through ads and third-party data sources.

Discord collects information about your behavior on other sites and receives data from third-party providers, allowing them to build a profile of your activity across different platforms.
