Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information AETHON processes, why, and what you can do about it. AETHON is an autonomous operations agent for Discord servers; "we" and "us" refer to the AETHON team. AETHON is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Discord.

Information we process#

AETHON only processes what it needs to run the features a server uses.

Server information from Discord#

When AETHON is added to a server it reads the server's structure through the Discord API: the server ID, name and owner, channels, categories, roles, permission settings, AutoMod rules, scheduled events, invites and webhooks. Webhook tokens are stored encrypted and are never shown.

Identifiers of people#

AETHON stores Discord user IDs (and sometimes usernames or display names) of people who use its commands, request or approve operations, and of members an administrator asks AETHON to act on — for example giving a role, opening a moderation case, opening a ticket, entering a giveaway, submitting a form or joining a tournament.

Content you give AETHON#

Requests sent to the agent and the follow-up conversation, images attached to a request, files uploaded or generated, knowledge-base articles, automations, forms and their responses, notes and stored preferences ("memory").

Records AETHON creates#

To make every change traceable and reversible AETHON keeps: projects with their tasks and results, an audit log of the operations it performs, checkpoints with the previous state of the resources it changes, and backups of the server structure and AETHON settings (backups never include messages or the roles of members). Moderation cases created by the automatic moderation engine keep up to 300 characters of the message that triggered them. When a ticket is closed, its messages are saved as a transcript. Activity statistics are counters (for example, how many messages a channel received), not message content.

Messages#

AETHON does not read the content of ordinary messages. It processes messages that mention AETHON in order to answer them, messages inside tickets when a transcript is saved, and the messages an administrator explicitly asks it to work with.

Payments#

When paid plans or credit packs are purchased, the payment is made with PayPal (see the Terms of Service). PayPal shares with us what we need to apply the purchase to your server and to handle refunds and disputes: the plan or pack, the amount, the PayPal transaction and subscription IDs, and the payer's name, email address and country. We never receive your card or bank details.

How we use information#

• To provide AETHON's features in your server and show you their progress and results.
• To protect your server: permission checks, approvals, protected resources, audit logs and abuse prevention.
• To apply plan limits, usage credits and purchases.
• To answer support requests and fix problems.

We do not sell personal information, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not use your content to train AI models.

AI processing#

Requests to the agent, the server information needed to plan them (for example channel and role names) and attached images are sent to the AI model provider that runs AETHON's models, which processes them on our behalf to produce plans and answers. Every change the AI proposes is checked by AETHON's deterministic permission guard and, when risky, by a human approval before anything happens in your server.

Who we share information with#

• Discord, to operate the bot through the Discord API.
• Service providers that run AETHON on our behalf: the AI model provider and our hosting, database and network providers (including the network that delivers and protects this website).
• PayPal, for payments, refunds and disputes.
• Authorities, when the law requires it.

Retention#

Data is kept while AETHON is installed in your server. When AETHON is removed, the server's data is kept so that its configuration can be restored if AETHON is added again; the server owner can ask us to delete it at any time. Administrators can delete files and backups at any time with the /files and /backup commands.

Security#

AETHON never asks for the Administrator permission. Actions are limited by AETHON levels and Discord permissions, risky operations require approval, secrets are stored encrypted, and connections use TLS.

Your choices and rights#

You can remove AETHON from your server at any time, delete files and backups yourself, and ask us for a copy or the deletion of the data related to your server or your Discord account. Depending on where you live you may have further rights under local law, such as correcting your data or objecting to its processing.

Children#

AETHON is available only to people allowed to use Discord under Discord's own age requirements.

International transfers#

Our providers may process data in countries other than yours. We only use providers that protect it with appropriate safeguards.

Changes#

We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows the latest version; important changes are announced on this website.
