We only collect the absolute minimum data required to ensure the functionality of your text RPG sessions and novel-sharing features:
1.1. Discord Identity Information:
We detect and store your Discord User ID, Username, and Guild/Server ID to identify your player profile, manage your in-game coins (Lexsi Coin), track subscription roles (Premium/VIP), and assign ownership of adventure threads. We never collect your real name, email address, or physical phone number.
1.2. Adventure Chat History:
We temporarily store the text of your roleplay interactions with the bot in our database. This is required to send the dialogue history to our Artificial Intelligence provider (Google Gemini API) to maintain consistent memory and context during your game.
1.3. Personal API Keys (BYOK Mode):
If you choose to use the Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) feature by registering your personal Gemini API Key via the /set-my-key command, we will store your API Key on our server using secure encryption methods.
We only use your data for functional purposes to provide and improve the Service:
- Connecting your active RPG sessions to the Google Gemini API to generate intelligent and immersive storytelling responses.
- Managing your Creator Profile (Subscriptions, Likes, and Lexsi Coin balance).
- Facilitating the export and import of your story progress via /export-story and /import-story commands.
We highly respect server efficiency and your right to be forgotten. Therefore, we enforce a strict and disciplined auto-cleanup policy on our VPS server:
3.1. Automated Inactivity Cleanup:
• Standard Free / Verified Creator Users: Active adventure threads that have been idle (inactive) for 3 days (72 hours) will be automatically and permanently deleted from our server database.
• Premium / VIP Members: Active adventure threads that have been idle (inactive) for 7 days (168 hours) will be automatically and permanently deleted from our server database.
3.2. JSON Data Backup Assurance:
Before any thread is permanently deleted from our server, Verlexy Bot will compile your entire adventure progress into a secure .json file (protected by HMAC-SHA256 digital signature encryption) and send it directly to your Discord Direct Messages (DMs) or our secure backup channel if your DMs are closed. Once sent, your story data is 100% removed from our active server until you choose to restore it using the /import-story command.
We do not and will never sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. However, your text inputs must be processed by our AI infrastructure provider:
4.1. Google Gemini API:
Your active chat history is sent securely to the Google Gemini API to generate responses. According to Google Cloud Enterprise privacy policies, data sent through this API is private, secure, and will not be used by Google to train their public AI models.
We implement industry-standard technical security measures to protect your information:
- Our Virtual Private Server (VPS) database is locked and only accessible by the main Developer.
- Your personal API Keys (BYOK) are encrypted on our server.
- All exported story files are signed with HMAC-SHA256 signatures to prevent unauthorized file manipulation or cheating.
***You retain full control over your data on Verlexy Bot:
- Right to Delete API Key: You can permanently delete your personal API Key from our database at any time using the /remove-my-key command.
- Right to Delete Active Sessions: You can instantly delete your active story history from our server by deleting your active adventure thread in Discord.
***Our Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will immediately delete it from our servers.
***We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting an announcement in the official Verlexy Discord Server. Your continued use of the bot after such updates constitutes your acceptance of the new Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions regarding your data or this Privacy Policy, please feel free to reach out to us in our official Discord Server's #support channel.
