Meku Bot - Privacy Policy

Applies to all servers and users where Meku is active
Last updated: April 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what data Meku Bot ("Meku", "the bot", "we") may collect, why it is collected, how it is stored, and how to request deletion. By using Meku features, you acknowledge this policy.

1. Who we are

Meku is a multi-purpose Discord bot operated independently. For data requests, contact the official support channel used by this bot distribution.

2. What data we collect

We only collect data needed to provide bot features. Summary:

DataPurposeTypeStored where
Discord IDs (user/guild/channel/role/message) Command execution, permission checks, server scope and feature linking Required SQLite databases stores
Guild config (prefixes, welcome/farewell config, autoroles, birthday channel) Server customization and onboarding flows Feature-based guilds.db, welcomes.db, autoroles.db
Message/command activity metrics (message count, XP, level progress, command usage by day/hour/source) Leveling systems, anti-spam rewards, analytics and bot health metrics Required levels.db and stats stores
Server rewind aggregates (messages by user/channel/day, voice duration/session aggregates) Guild activity summaries and rewind views Feature-based data/serverRewindData/*.db
Interaction counters (given/received) per interaction type (hug, kiss, pat, etc.) Social feature stats and profile counters Required interactions.db
Birthday data (day, month, optional year, timezone, guild mapping) Birthday reminders and per-guild birthday notifications Optional birthdays.db
Profile fields (bio, pronouns, country, timezone, personality/MBTI/device, style settings) Profile card rendering and web profile editor Feature-based profiles.db
User preferences (language, embedless, silent command mode, notsofurro) Localization and response behavior preferences Optional languagepref.db and profiles-linked preference stores
External links (Last.fm username, osu! account link and main mode) User-requested third-party integrations Optional profiles.db and osu link store
Economy records (balances, transfers, rewards, charge requests, request reason/status) Economy features, receipts, and payment-like flow between users Feature-based economy.db and economyTransactions.db
Marriage system records (partner links, proposal metadata and expiration timestamps) Social/marriage commands and relationship display Feature-based marriages store
Furdex records (fursona metadata, likes, image metadata and file paths) Furdex profile/gallery feature and community interactions Feature-based furdex.db and data/furdex/ files
Important: Meku only stores data needed to run enabled features. Unused optional features should not create personal records beyond basic command metadata.

3. Data we do not intentionally collect

4. Storage and security

Data is stored in local sqlite files and bot-managed storage. Access is limited to bot runtime and operators with infrastructure access. Security controls may evolve over time as features change.

All databases containing user data are encrypted at rest using SQLCipher with AES-256-CBC encryption at the page level. Encryption keys are derived via PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 with a unique salt and are never stored alongside the database files. Database files are unreadable without the correct key, even with direct filesystem access.

Profile images and uploaded assets are stored in an access-controlled directory on the host server and are only accessible via authenticated API requests.

5. Retention

Retention depends on feature usage and operational needs. Some caches and historical metrics may be pruned automatically (for example usage windows and bot snapshots). Feature datasets can remain stored while the related feature is active. You may request deletion at any time via Delete My Data.

6. Sharing and third parties

Data is NOT sold. Limited processing can occur through services required for bot operation, such as Discord APIs and optional integrations explicitly used by the user.

7. Opt-out and deletion rights

8. Policy updates

We may update this policy when legal, security, or feature requirements change. Continued use after updates means acceptance of the latest version.
