Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 18, 2026

Information We Collect

To keep Spam Trap running properly, we store the information needed to protect your server. This includes your server configuration such as channel IDs, selected moderation action, enabled experiments, moderation logs, catch statistics, and Discord OAuth session data for the web dashboard.

If the Forward Message experiment is enabled, the content of detected spam messages may also be stored in moderation logs.

Information We Don't Collect

Spam Trap respects your privacy. We do not read messages outside your trap channels. We never collect passwords, email addresses, payment information, or any sensitive personal data. We do not track users across different servers or sell your information to third parties.

How We Use Your Data

Your data is only used to operate Spam Trap. This includes protecting your server, saving your configuration, displaying dashboard statistics, recording moderation actions, and providing the features you enable.

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely on our Railway-hosted infrastructure. Dashboard sessions use encrypted cookies that expire after seven days to help keep your account secure.

Data Retention

Your server configuration is stored only while Spam Trap remains in your server; removing the bot deletes it automatically (see Data Deletion below). Recent moderation activity is limited to the latest five actions shown per server. We do not keep a separate log of every individual moderation action beyond that; only aggregate catch counts (per-server and site-wide totals) are retained.

Data Deletion

Removing Spam Trap from your server automatically and permanently deletes that server's stored configuration and statistics; no need to contact us separately. If you'd rather keep your configuration for later, use the /spamtrap disable command instead, which turns off moderation without deleting anything. For any other data question, reach out through the contact options below.

Children's Privacy

Spam Trap is not intended for users under the age of 13 and follows Discord's minimum age requirements.

Website Analytics

The spamtrap.help website (not the bot itself) uses Google Analytics to understand how many people visit the site and which pages they view. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as your approximate location, device and browser type, and pages visited. This applies only to browsing spamtrap.help; it has no connection to your Discord account, server data, or anything the bot itself collects. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by using your browser's tracking-protection settings.

Third Party Services

Spam Trap uses the Discord API for bot functionality, Railway for hosting, and Google Analytics for website traffic statistics. Your use of these services is also subject to their respective privacy policies.

Policy Updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The latest revision date will always appear at the top of this page. Continuing to use Spam Trap means you accept any updates.
