Below is a detailed breakdown of what data we collect and how we may use this data.
We reserve the right to make changes to this policy at any time without prior notice.
By continuing to use Akiyama's Atelier ("us", "we", "our") and/or our services ("Service" or "Services"), you agree to this policy.
As part of our server software's operation, certain information such as the resources (first-party urls, pages, images, API endpoints, etc.) you request, your Operating System ("OS"), what browser you're using, and/or your Internet Protocol ("IP") address may be collected and temporarily stored in logs created by our server software. These logs are rotated out on a regular basis, and are not retained beyond their rotation periods.
Your OS and browser information are used to ensure the resource(s) you are requesting are fully compatible with your device. Information on how we use your IP address is detailed in the "IP Addresses" section of this policy.
We use cookies only when necessary to support core functionality of the website or Services. Specifically, cookies may be used to:
We do not use cookies to track (cross-site or otherwise), profile, or target users. In the case of session continuity, those cookies will be removed once you close your browser, however for the other cases, users can delete their cookies at any time via their browser settings, though any preferences or login states may be lost.
In some cases, we may make use of third-party libraries or resources on our pages (for example, embedding a YouTube video, or Twitch stream) which may result in those third-parties attempting to store cookies on your device, in those cases, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective third-parties for information on how they handle theirs.
As mentioned above, our server software may automatically log users' IP addresses as part of standard operation. These logs are used solely for the following purposes:
Certain resources may be available on our Services which implement limitations (such as rate limiting). Where it is not viable to use a different ideintifier (eg. an API key) such as public-facing webpages, or where one is not provided will use hashed IP addresses to enforce their respective limits. This requires that we temporarily store your IP address in a hashed form (that can't be turned back into an IP address) in a database. How long the hash remains in our database depends on the specific endpoint. Please refer to the specific endpoint's documentation for this information.
We do not sell your IP address, use it to track you across the web, market anything towards you or profile you, and, where required, it is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described above.
We do not knowingly collect or store any information from users under the age of 13. In the event we are made aware of, or discover information from someone under the age of 13, actions will be taken to remove it from our servers.
There are several cases in which our Services link to resources that we do not control. As these sites and/or services are not ran or maintained by us, they almost certainly do not follow our policy. Please refer to those sites' respective privacy policies for more information.
We are not responsible for anything found on or in relation to these third-party sites and/or services.
In order to provide our Services to you, we may make use of resources or information from third-party sources. Please refer to their respective policies for further information:
Please note that this list may not be exhaustive.
We will never use your data, input, comments or any other content to train AI. Ever.
By default, Listening Post ("The Bot") cannot read messages you send in any channel where The Bot is present, however, The Bot will be provided message content by the Discord API in the following circumstances:
@mention of The Bot.For more information, see this page from Discord's developer portal.
For all commands except the /build command (see below), information you provide within your use of The Bot's commands is only retained as long as the command takes to execute, certain commands may also use supplied information to retreive relevant or requested information from one or more of our databases (in cases such as the /station or /system commands).
Any information you send to The Bot is not intentionally stored on our server(s) or remotely. In the event of an error (eg. with a /slash command), while very unlikely, it is possible your message or part(s) of it may be present in the stack trace that is generated. These are logged temporarily, and are removed once we have confirmed the issue it was generated by is fixed.
After August 12, 2026, The Bot no longer the Guild Members or Guild Presence intents enabled, meaning it cannot see your current status (Presence), nor can it see if you're present in a server (Members), though it can still check for precense in a server via Discord's API if necessary. For more information, see this page from Discord's developer portal.
The Bot allows users to register builds for ships within the video game Elite: Dangerous via use of the /builds command. When you register a build, the following information is collected and stored in a database for retrieval later if a user (or yourself) wish to view a specific build you created:
Users are free to remove their builds from The Bot at any time without restriction by using the /builds delete command flow.
