Privacy Policy - Emoji Statistics

Last edit: December 20, 2022

What is Emoji Statistics?

Emoji Statistics is a discord bot running with the discord.js framework. It provides tracking of custom emoji, reaction and sticker usage on your server if you invited it.
Here you can invite the bot: https://top.gg/bot/713016704648872000

What data does the bot track and store?

While the bot is tracking most of the activities on your server, including all messages in the channels the bot has permission to see, not all of that data gets stored in the database.
The bots main purpose is collecting statistics about emoji usage. Every time an emoji, a reaction or a a sticker gets used by any user on the server, the bot stores a new entry in the database. This entry contains the following data.

serverID: The unique id of the server the emoji usage has been tracked.
userID: The id of the user who used the emoji/reaction/sticker.
channelID: The id of the channel the emoji has been used in.
messageID: The message identifier that emoji correlates to.
emojiID: This id is a unique identifier for every emoji set by discord.
animated type: A true/false value if the used emoji is animated or not.
timestamp: The exact date and time of the emoji usage.

As long as you are using the bot, Emoji Statistics is also storing data that is needed to identify your server and ensure premium functionalities.

serverID: The unique id of your server.
ownerID: The unique user id of the owner of the server.
premium: A value used to tell if premium is active for the server.
botEdition: A value used to tell which premium edition is active.
usesBotSince: The exact date and time since when you first invited the bot to your server.
claimedUserID: The id of the user that claimed premium (if that is the case).
adminOnly: A variable to check whether admins of the server have set the bot to only respond to admin commands.

If you deactivated tracking for your account via the command /disable or claimed a premium edition or voted for the bot on a website like top.gg, the following values will be stored in the database.

userID: The unique public ID connected to your user account.
amount: The amount of votes.
totalPremiumClaims: How many active premium claims this user has used.
disabled: An indicator whether the user wants to be excluded from emoji/reaction/sticker usage tracking.

Why does Emoji Statistics need all this data?

Since the bots main purpose is about tracking and querying statistics, the bot needs to store the data in a database.
Because of all the different commands like /users or /channel, it is also needed to include detailed data about when, where and who used the emoji/reaction/sticker in the database. Without this information it would not be possible to deliver extensive statistics as they are delivered at the moment.

How long does my data get stored?

Emoji Statistics stores your tracked emoji/reaction/sticker data for up to 30 days in a database. Every database entry has a separate timestamp.
Once an individual database entry gets created, it will be deleted after 30 days. This means that if you remove the bot from your server (by kicking the bot) all your tracked emoji data will be completely removed from the database within 30 days.
However, if you are using Premium (another version of Emoji Statistics), none of your data gets deleted. Only if you kick the bot or deactivate Premium for the server, tracked emoji data will be removed from the database.

How can I remove my data and avoid being tracked?

You have multiple options here.

If you are the server owner, you can just remove the bot by kicking it from the server and no user on your server will be tracked anymore.
As an admin of your server, you can also delete all your stats for the whole server manually by using the command /deletestats.
You can also delete statistics about single emojis by using the command /delete e (e represents the actual emoji which has to be written in the command)

If you are a normal user on the server and you do not want to be tracked by the bot, you can use the command /disable.
This will eliminate all data collection about you or your emoji usages in the database. The bot will remember your disabled status as long as you re-enable it by typing /disable again.
Disabling the bots tracking for your user account does work across multiple servers.
