Privacy Policy

LFG Discord bot · Last updated 11 October 2026

This policy explains what the LFG Discord bot ("LFG", "we") stores, why, and how you can remove it. LFG is run by Grim. Contact: lfgbot.support@gmail.com.

In short: we keep only what's needed to run lobbies and the profile details you choose to save. We don't sell data, show ads, or track you.

What we store

Data	Why	How long
Discord IDs: your user ID, and the IDs of servers, channels and messages LFG posts in	To run lobbies and know who joined	As long as the lobby or setting exists
Lobby details: game, mode, size, roles, schedule time, the note you write, who joined, and the names of any guests the host adds	To show and update the lobby	Deleted 7 days after the lobby closes or expires
Profile details you choose to save: in-game names or IDs, ranks you enter, your time zone, your recent games and lobby preferences	To show them on lobbies you host or join and to speed up posting	Until you remove them
Linked Riot account (optional): Riot ID, Riot account identifier, region, whether you verified it, and public ranked data (ranks, wins and losses, most-played champions and roles)	To show your verified ranks on lobbies and your profile	Until you run `/riot unlink`
Public game stats for IDs you save (e.g. Dota 2, Overwatch, Deadlock, VALORANT): rank, recent record, most-played heroes or agents	To show on your profile and lobbies	Until you remove the ID
Server settings chosen by admins (channels, roles, options)	To run LFG the way the server wants	Until the server asks us to delete them

What we read but don't store

Message text. Only when a server turns on text LFG for a channel, when you mention LFG, when you DM it, or when you use "Create LFG from message". The text is read once to suggest a lobby and is never saved or logged. If you post the lobby, only the lobby details above are kept.
The game you're playing (your Discord "Playing" status). Read only when you start a lobby, to pre-select your game. It's never saved, and we don't track anyone's activity or online status.

Who we share data with

Other members of the server see your lobbies and the profile details shown on them. That's the point of the bot.
Riot Games, if you link a Riot ID: we send your Riot ID to Riot's official API to look up your account and public ranked data.
Public game-statistics services, if you save an in-game ID for a supported game: we send that ID to fetch public stats.
Our hosting provider (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Frankfurt, Germany, in the EU) stores the data on our behalf. This website is served by Cloudflare and uses no cookies or trackers.

We never sell data or share it for advertising. We don't use message content to train AI models.

Security and backups

Data is stored on a private server that only the operator can access, with key-only access. A daily backup is kept for 14 days, so deleted data disappears from backups within 14 days.

Your choices and rights

/profile clear removes a saved in-game name and rank. /riot unlink removes your Riot account and its data.
Leave a lobby, or close the ones you host, at any time.
To see, export, or delete everything we hold about you, email lfgbot.support@gmail.com from any address and include your Discord user ID. We reply within 30 days.
Server owners can ask us to delete their server's settings and lobbies the same way.

If you're in the EU, the UK or another region with data-protection laws, you have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict and port your data, and to complain to your local data-protection authority. Our legal basis is providing the service you asked for, and our legitimate interest in keeping it running and safe.

Children

LFG follows Discord's own age requirements. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under the minimum age for Discord in their country.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above and announce major changes on this page and in our Discord support server.
