Privacy Policy
Scope
This policy covers the Friday for Discord website, the AskFriday Vencord extension, and the official Friday Bot source code distributed through github.com/ryvrook.
An independent person or organization that hosts a modified or public copy of Friday Bot is responsible for its own privacy practices and disclosures.
Information Friday processes
Depending on the feature you use, Friday may process:
- The question or Discord message that triggered Friday.
- Recent channel messages and a referenced message used as conversation context.
- Discord usernames, user IDs, server IDs, channel IDs, and message IDs needed to receive events, enforce allowlists, fetch context, and send replies.
- Command options such as whether a response should be private.
- The selected AI provider, model, tone, personality, and related settings.
- API keys supplied by the person running the software, or authentication managed by an official provider CLI.
How information is used
Friday uses this information only to:
- Generate the requested draft or answer.
- Maintain conversational continuity.
- Restrict the bot to configured servers and, when enabled, configured users.
- Apply server-specific model settings and user-selected style preferences.
- Diagnose errors and protect the service from misuse.
AI providers and third parties
To generate a response, Friday sends the prepared prompt and relevant conversation context to the provider selected by the person running Friday: Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. Those providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies.
In API-key mode, requests go directly to the selected provider. In local CLI mode, Friday invokes an already-authenticated official provider CLI. Friday does not read or store the CLI's OAuth token.
Discord processes messages, interactions, account information, and bot events under the Discord Privacy Policy. GitHub and Cloudflare may process basic request and infrastructure data when you visit the project website or repositories.
Storage and retention
- AskFriday stores its settings locally through Vencord.
- Friday Bot reads credentials from the host's environment.
- Friday Bot stores server IDs and per-server model overrides in a local configuration file.
- The official code does not persist Discord message content or AI responses in a database.
- Transient content remains in process memory only as needed to complete a request.
- Discord, the selected AI provider, the host, and official CLIs may retain data under their own settings and policies.
Error messages may be written to the host's console. Operators should secure and rotate their own logs according to their needs.
Website data
The Friday landing site does not set first-party cookies, run advertising, or include application-level analytics. Cloudflare may process normal network and security logs to deliver and protect the site.
Data sharing and sale
The official project does not sell personal information. Information is shared only with the services needed to provide Friday, when directed by the user, when required by law, or when necessary to protect rights and safety.
Your choices and deletion
- Do not invoke Friday if you do not want a message sent to the configured AI provider.
- Server administrators can remove the bot or revoke its channel permissions.
- Extension users can disable or uninstall AskFriday and delete its local settings.
- Bot operators can delete the local server configuration file and logs.
- Provider-side deletion requests must be made to the relevant provider.
For questions or deletion requests involving the official project, open a private security advisory or an issue in the relevant GitHub repository. For a self-hosted instance operated by someone else, contact that operator.
Security
Friday uses server and optional user allowlists, keeps secrets out of source control, and requests only the Discord access needed for its features. No system is completely secure. Operators are responsible for protecting bot tokens, API keys, CLI sessions, host access, and configuration files.
Children
Friday is not directed to children below the minimum age required to use Discord in their country. Do not use Friday if you are not permitted to use Discord.
Changes
This policy may change as Friday's features or legal obligations change. Material revisions will update the date above and be published in the project repository.
