Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

TL;DR for developers

  • • We track command names, server IDs, and hashed user IDs
  • • We never store message content, usernames, or personal data
  • • Your API key is hashed — we can't see it after you create it
  • • You can delete all your data anytime
  • • We don't sell data. Ever.

What we collect

When you integrate Argus into your Discord bot, we collect:

  • ✓
    Command names — Which slash commands are executed (e.g., "/play", "/help")
  • ✓
    Server IDs — Discord server snowflake IDs (not server names)
  • ✓
    Hashed user IDs — User IDs are hashed client-side in the SDK before they ever reach our servers. We literally cannot see the original Discord user ID.
  • ✓
    Timestamps — When events occur
  • ✓
    Error messages — Stack traces from your bot (if you enable error tracking)

What we don't collect

  • ✗
    Message content — We never see what users type
  • ✗
    Usernames or emails — We don't collect Discord usernames
  • ✗
    Raw Discord user IDs — Hashing happens in your bot before data reaches us
  • ✗
    Server names or member lists — Just the ID for aggregation
  • ✗
    IP addresses — Not logged

Developer control

The SDK hashes user IDs by default (hashUserIds: true). If you want to identify specific users in your dashboard, you can disable this:

const argus = new Argus({
  apiKey: 'arg_live_xxx',
  hashUserIds: false  // Shows raw Discord user IDs in your dashboard
});

Even with hashing disabled, we still never see usernames — just numeric Discord snowflake IDs (e.g., 395177045023391744).

How we store your data

  • • Data is stored in PostgreSQL (hosted on Neon) in the US
  • • All connections are encrypted (TLS)
  • • API keys are hashed with SHA-256 — we can't reverse them
  • • Data retention depends on your plan (7 days to unlimited)

Your rights

  • • Export — Download all your data anytime from the dashboard
  • • Delete — Delete your account and all associated data
  • • Opt-out — Remove the SDK and we stop receiving data immediately

Third-party services

  • • Clerk — Authentication (your login)
  • • Stripe — Payment processing (we never see your card)
  • • Neon — Database hosting
  • • Vercel — Application hosting
  • • SendGrid — Transactional emails

We don't use analytics trackers, ad networks, or sell data to anyone.
