This Privacy Policy explains what information ArkCore (the "Service") collects, why it is collected, how it is used, and how it is protected. It applies to all users who interact with ArkCore across any Discord server in which the Service is active, including server owners and administrators.

• Passwords, tokens, or account credentials
• Private or direct messages between users
• Voice communications
• Sensitive personal data such as health, biometric, religion, or ethnicity

Payment Information

If premium features or paid services are introduced, payments may be processed through third-party providers, which handle payment data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

3. How We Use Your Data

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose not listed above. We do not sell, rent, or trade any collected data to third parties for commercial or marketing purposes.

4. Data Storage and Retention

All data is stored on secured infrastructure operated by ArkBotLabs or trusted third-party hosting providers. Data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected.

In limited circumstances, data may be retained beyond these periods where required by law, for the resolution of disputes, or for fraud prevention purposes. You may request earlier deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

5. Data Sharing

ArkBotLabs does not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal data to any third party.

Data may be shared only in the following circumstances:

• Regular security reviews and infrastructure assessments
• Incident response procedures in the event of a suspected breach

Please note: No method of data transmission or storage is entirely secure. While we take every reasonable precaution, ArkBotLabs cannot guarantee absolute security. By using the Service, you acknowledge this inherent risk.

In the event of a confirmed data breach that poses a risk to affected users, we will notify those users without undue delay in accordance with applicable legal obligations.

10. Third-Party Services

ArkCore relies on third-party services to deliver certain functionality. Each provider operates under its own privacy policy and data practices. ArkBotLabs is not responsible for the data handling of any third-party service.

Your use of ArkCore through Discord is also subject to Discord's Privacy Policy, which is independent of this policy. We encourage all users to review the privacy policies of these providers independently.
