Ridiculous Ventures, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates Hero Scrolls Bot ("the Bot"), a Discord bot designed as a fan-made companion app for various video games. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use the Bot, including payment processing for various purchases and memberships. By using the Bot, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to ensure the Bot functions properly and provides its intended services. This includes:
- Discord-Related Data: When you interact with the Bot, we collect your Discord user ID, server ID, and other identifiers necessary for the Bot to operate within Discord servers.
- Game ID: We collect a game ID from supported video games, which is associated with your Discord user ID or server ID to link your gaming activity to the Bot’s features (e.g., tracking stats or generating scrolls).
- Authorization Data: When you log in or register with the Bot using authorization services (e.g., Google API), we collect limited information such as your Google account ID or email address (as provided by Google) to authenticate your identity and link it to your Discord account. We do not store passwords.
- Payment Data: We process payments via PayPal’s API and system for purchases including Hero Scrolls tokens, dashboards, and memberships (Bronze, Silver, or Gold tiers), as well as potential future offerings. We collect minimal payment-related information (e.g., PayPal transaction ID) to verify your purchase or membership status. Full payment details (e.g., credit card numbers, billing addresses) are handled directly by PayPal and not stored by us.
- Usage Data: We collect information about how you use the Bot, such as commands you issue, reports generated, or features accessed. This helps us improve the Bot’s functionality.
- Content You Provide: If you input data into the Bot (e.g., through commands), we may process that data temporarily to deliver the requested service.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and maintain the Bot’s features, such as generating hero scrolls, tracking stats, or other companion functionalities tied to your game ID and Discord account.
- Authenticate your identity and register your account using authorization services like Google API.
- Process payments via PayPal’s API for Hero Scrolls tokens, dashboards, Bronze, Silver, or Gold memberships, and any future purchases to confirm your access to premium features or services.
- Verify your eligibility to use the Bot (e.g., confirming membership tier or partnership status).
- Associate your game ID with your Discord user ID or server ID to enable personalized features.
- Monitor and improve the Bot’s performance and user experience.
- Respond to inquiries or issues raised via our official Discord server.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following cases:
- Authorization Services: When you log in via Google API, your data is processed according to Google’s Privacy Policy. We only receive the data you authorize Google to share with us.
- Payment Processing: When you purchase Hero Scrolls tokens, dashboards, memberships (Bronze, Silver, or Gold), or other future offerings via PayPal, your payment data is processed according to PayPal’s Privacy Statement. We only receive confirmation of the transaction, not full payment details.
- Legal Requirements: If required by law, regulation, or legal process (e.g., a court order), we may disclose your information.
- Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party providers who assist us in operating the Bot (e.g., hosting services, authentication providers, or payment processors), but only to the extent necessary and under strict confidentiality agreements.
- Business Transfers: If Ridiculous Ventures, LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale, your information may be transferred as part of that process, but we will notify you of any changes in ownership or use of your data.
4. Data Storage and Security
We store your information securely on servers controlled by us or our service providers. This includes your Discord IDs, game ID, authentication data from Google API, and minimal payment data from PayPal (e.g., transaction IDs). We take reasonable measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Use the Bot at your own risk.
Data is retained only as long as necessary to provide the Bot’s services or comply with legal obligations. For example, your game ID, Discord ID, and payment confirmation are kept while you maintain an active membership, token balance, dashboard access, or other purchased services. Once no longer needed, data is deleted or anonymized.
5. Your Rights and Choices
You have control over your data through the following options:
- Discord: Remove the Bot from your server or stop interacting with it to cease most data collection.
- Authorization Services: Revoke the Bot’s access to your Google account via Google’s security settings (myaccount.google.com/permissions), which will disable login and registration features.
- Payment Data: Manage your payment information directly with PayPal. We do not store or control your full payment details, so cancellation or changes to your Hero Scrolls tokens, dashboards, memberships (Bronze, Silver, or Gold), or future purchases should be handled through PayPal’s interface.
- Data Requests: Contact us via our official Discord server (https://discord.gg/89KaZ47PrW) to request information about the data we’ve collected (e.g., your game ID, Discord ID, or PayPal transaction ID) or to ask for its deletion, subject to our operational needs and legal obligations.
We do not offer user accounts beyond Discord, Google API, and PayPal integration, so there are no additional account settings to manage directly with us.
6. Third-Party Services
The Bot operates within Discord, uses Google API for authentication, and processes payments via PayPal. Data shared with these services is governed by their respective policies:
We are not responsible for the practices of Discord, Google, PayPal, or any video games the Bot supports.
7. Children’s Privacy
The Bot is not intended for users under 13 years old, in line with Discord’s Terms of Service, Google’s policies, and PayPal’s requirements. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If we learn such data has been collected, we will delete it promptly.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted in our official Discord server (https://discord.gg/89KaZ47PrW) with the "Last Updated" date revised. Continued use of the Bot after changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
