Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 27, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Aimo Music Bot ("Aimo", "we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how Aimo collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you interact with our Discord bot and website. By adding Aimo to your server or using any of its features, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

We follow a minimum data collection principle — we only collect data that is strictly necessary to provide and improve the service. We do not sell, trade, or monetise your personal data in any way.

2. What Data We Collect

The table below shows every type of data Aimo stores, why it is needed, and for how long it is retained.

Data Type	What We Store	Why We Need It	Retention
Discord User ID	Your unique Discord snowflake ID (a number, not your username)	To link playlists, favourites, AI history, premium status, and preferences to your account	Until you request deletion
Discord Guild (Server) ID	The unique ID of each server Aimo is in	To store per-server settings (volume, 24/7 mode, DJ roles, notification preferences)	Until bot is removed from server
Playlist Data	Playlist names, song titles, song URLs, and track metadata	To save and load your custom playlists across sessions	Until you delete the playlist
Favourite Songs	Song titles and stream URLs you save with /favorite-add	To let you replay favourite songs any time	Until you remove them
AI Conversation History	Messages you send to Aimo AI (/ask) — text only, no voice	To maintain conversation context so AI responses are relevant and personalised	Until you reset with /ask reset, or 30 days of inactivity
Premium Status	A boolean flag indicating whether your account has premium access	To grant access to premium-tier commands (/imagine, /boost, etc.)	Until revoked or account deleted
Notification Preferences	Whether you have opted in or out of DM update notifications	To respect your communication preferences	Until you change the setting
Command Usage Logs	Command name, guild ID, timestamp — no message content	For debugging, performance monitoring, and abuse prevention	7 days rolling window

We do NOT collect: your messages, voice audio, passwords, payment information, email address, IP address, real name, or any personally identifiable information beyond your Discord User ID.

3. How We Use Your Data

• To deliver core bot features: music playback, playlists, favourites, AI chat, and image generation.
• To apply per-user and per-server settings and preferences you have configured.
• To provide AI responses that are contextually relevant to your conversation history.
• To grant or verify premium feature access.
• To diagnose bugs, monitor performance, and prevent service abuse.
• To send DM update notifications if you have opted in via /notification.

We will never use your data for advertising, profiling, or selling to third parties.

4. Data Security

Protecting your data is a core priority. Here are the security measures we have in place:

• Encrypted at rest: All database data is stored in encrypted form. Sensitive tokens and API keys are stored as environment variables, never in source code.
• Secure hosting: Aimo runs in an isolated, access-controlled server environment.
• No plain-text secrets: Bot tokens, API keys, and webhook URLs are never committed to version control or logged to public output.
• Access control: Only the bot owner can access the raw database. Sensitive owner-only commands (/backup) are restricted by Discord User ID checks at the code level.
• Minimal attack surface: We only store what is needed.
• Dependency security: We regularly update Node.js packages to patch known vulnerabilities.
• No third-party analytics: We do not use Google Analytics, tracking pixels, or any third-party analytics services.

While we implement strong security measures, no system is 100% breach-proof. In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will notify affected users through our support server as quickly as possible.

5. Third-Party Services

Aimo uses the following third-party services to provide its features. Each handles data according to their own privacy policies:

• OpenRouter (GPT-4o & Claude) — AI responses for /ask and AI image generation for /imagine. Prompts you send are processed by their servers. OpenRouter Privacy Policy
• LavaLink — Music streaming server. Song URLs are sent to LavaLink nodes to stream audio.
• Spotify / YouTube / SoundCloud — Song metadata and stream resolution. These platforms have their own terms and privacy policies.
• Genius API — Lyrics fetching for /lyrics. Song titles are sent to look up lyrics.
• top.gg — Vote verification for /vote. Your Discord User ID is sent to top.gg to check vote status.

We are not responsible for the data practices of these third-party services. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data with any third parties, except:

• With the third-party services listed in Section 5, strictly to provide the requested feature.
• When required by law, court order, or government authority.
• To protect the rights, safety, or property of Aimo users or the public.

7. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain data only for as long as needed to provide the service:

• User data (playlists, favourites, preferences): Retained until you request deletion.
• AI conversation history: Auto-deleted after 30 days of inactivity, or reset at any time with /ask reset.
• Server settings: Deleted automatically when Aimo is removed from a server.
• Command logs: Rolling 7-day window — older logs are automatically purged.

To request full deletion of all data associated with your account, contact us at aimo-bot@protone.me or open a ticket in our support server. We will process deletion requests within 7 business days.

8. Children's Privacy

Aimo is intended for users aged 13 and older, consistent with Discord's minimum age requirement. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used Aimo, please contact us immediately at aimo-bot@protone.me and we will delete their data promptly.
