Nightmare Nexus RP is a Discord bot and companion website that provides AI-assisted collaborative roleplay. This policy explains what data we collect through the bot and the website, how we use it, who we share it with, and how you can ask us to delete it.

When you log into the website via Discord, or interact with the bot in a server it's in, we receive and store your Discord user ID, username, and avatar. We check your server roles and membership live (e.g. to confirm subscriber status or moderator access) — we don't keep a separate permanent copy of your role list. We do not request or receive your email address or payment details from Discord.

To run the bot's core feature, we process and store: messages you post in channels where the bot is active, the characters/personas you create, scene summaries, pinned facts, and "player facts" the AI extracts from your posts to remember your character's ongoing story (so replies stay consistent instead of forgetting things you've established). This is the main purpose of the service — without it, the bot can't do continuity-aware roleplay.

Bios, comments, follows, favorites, uploaded character-page images, and applications you submit are stored so those features work and so your content displays correctly to others.

When our hardcoded content-safety filter blocks something (e.g. sexualized content referencing a minor), we log the channel, user, rating tier, and a short snippet of the flagged text — this is an enforcement record, not a general chat archive. We also log which AI backend handled a request and rough token counts, for cost tracking, and we maintain a shadow-ban list for users who abuse AI features.

The website sets one cookie — a signed session token (not a tracking cookie) that keeps you logged in for up to 7 days. We also use your browser's local storage to remember small preferences (which notifications you've read, whether you enabled the accessibility mode) — this stays on your device and isn't sent to us. We do not use analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking scripts.

• To generate AI roleplay replies and keep scenes/characters consistent over time.
• To display your profile, characters, and comments to other users as intended by the feature.
• To enforce our rules — age requirements, the minor-safety filter, shadow-bans, and rate limits.
• To respond to support tickets and content reports (including reports made via !report_ai).
• To keep the service running and track basic AI usage/cost.

We do not sell your data, and we do not use your roleplay content to advertise to you or anyone else.

Who	What they get	Why
Discord	Whatever you post through Discord itself	The bot and website both run on top of Discord's platform — see Discord's own Privacy Policy for how they handle that.
Anthropic (Claude AI)	The message/scene content needed to generate a reply	Anthropic's API powers the bot's AI replies. Anthropic processes this content under its own API terms; we don't control Anthropic's internal data practices — see Anthropic's own privacy policy for details.
Railway (hosting provider)	All stored data, since it lives on Railway's infrastructure	Railway hosts our bot, website, and database as our infrastructure provider.

We don't share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else outside of running the service.

We keep data for as long as it's needed to run the service. A few specific cases:

• If you leave our Discord server, your characters and personas are automatically deleted.
• Active RP session data (scene summaries, pinned facts, player facts) is kept for as long as that session/channel is in use, so the story stays consistent.
• Safety-filter logs and usage logs are kept as an enforcement/cost record and are not routinely deleted.
• Backups (including version-control history used to deploy the bot) may retain a copy of some data for a period after it's deleted from the live service.

You can ask us to tell you what data we have about you, correct it, or delete it (subject to the backup/enforcement-log limits above) by opening a support ticket in our Discord or using !report_ai/contacting a server owner directly. We don't yet have a self-serve "delete my account" button — for now, deletion requests are handled manually by staff. If you're in the EU/UK, California, or another jurisdiction with specific data rights (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, etc.), those rights apply to you and we'll do our best to honor them through this same manual process until a formal request tool exists.

Nightmare Nexus RP is strictly for users 18 and older and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have, we will delete it and remove the associated account/content.

We take reasonable steps to protect stored data, but no online service can guarantee perfect security. Use the service at your own discretion, and don't share information in roleplay content that you wouldn't want stored.

We may update this policy as the service changes or as our legal review progresses. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continued use of the bot or website after a change means you accept the updated policy.
