FREN Privacy Policy

Updated on October 17, 2026

This policy explains how FREN, a Discord application operated by Lakshay Chawla, handles information when people use the bot. Discord separately processes account and message data under its own policies.

Information FREN processes

When FREN is online in a server and can access a channel, Discord may deliver message text, member information, and related Discord identifiers to the bot. FREN is configured to request the Message Content and Server Members intents. It uses information available to it to recognize commands and provide features a user invokes or a server administrator enables.

FREN also processes user, server, channel, message, and interaction identifiers needed to handle commands, apply settings, and associate saved feature data. Depending on the features used, saved data may include preferences, reminder details, game progress and virtual balances, moderation or activity records, and server or channel configuration.

How information is used and shared

• Prompts submitted to Ask and StudyBuddy, and text submitted for translation, are sent to Google Gemini services to generate answers or translations.
• Message and member information may be processed for commands and server features such as moderation, reminders, games, and other utilities enabled by a user or administrator.
• FREN uses Discord and third-party hosting and database providers to operate the bot and keep feature data available. These providers process information under their own current terms and privacy practices.

Only provide content you are allowed to share with FREN and the relevant providers. Do not submit passwords, authentication codes, bot tokens, or other secrets. AI and translation providers may change over time; this policy will be updated if FREN's data practices materially change.

Storage and retention

FREN stores feature data and configuration so features can continue to work across restarts. Retention depends on the feature; there is no single automatic expiry period for all stored records. Some interactive sessions are kept temporarily in application memory. FREN is not intended to be a general archive of server conversations, but it may process message text or retain feature-specific records as described above.

Removing FREN from a server stops its access there, but does not necessarily delete records already stored. Contact the operator to request access, correction, or deletion. Provider backups or records required for security, operational, or legal reasons may take longer to remove.

Choices and controls

Users can choose whether to invoke commands and AI features. Server administrators control server-level configuration and can disable enabled features or remove FREN from their server. Discord's own settings and policies govern your Discord account and messages.

Access, correction, and deletion requests

To ask what information FREN has associated with you, or to request correction or deletion, email lakshaychawla13@gmail.com. Include your Discord user ID and enough detail to locate the relevant information, such as the server or feature. Do not send your password, authentication code, or bot token. Requests will be verified and handled subject to applicable legal requirements.

Security and changes

FREN relies on security controls provided by its hosting and database services. No online service can guarantee absolute security. This policy may be updated when FREN's data practices change; the current version and date of last update will be posted at this URL.
