Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Ticket King ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our Discord ticket management bot ("Ticket King" or the "Bot"), our website at https://ticketking.xyz (the "Website"), and any related services (collectively, the "Service"). This policy applies to all users, including Discord server administrators who install the Bot and end users who interact with ticket channels managed by the Bot.
By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the practices described herein, please do not use the Service. For details on how we process data on behalf of server administrators, please see our Data Processing Agreement.
We collect information that you provide directly, information generated through your use of the Service, and information automatically sent by your devices. The categories of information we collect include:
a) Discord Data from Ticket Channels
When a ticket is created in a Discord server where Ticket King is installed, we collect and persistently store the following data from designated ticket channels to provide ticket management functionality, including real-time message display on the web dashboard and transcript generation:
To provide this functionality, the Bot uses Discord's Message Content privileged intent, which allows it to read message content in ticket channels. This intent is used exclusively for collecting ticket messages and is not used to monitor or read messages in non-ticket channels.
This data is stored persistently on our servers. While a ticket is open, message data may be displayed in real time to authorized server staff through the authenticated web dashboard. After a ticket is closed, message data is compiled into ticket transcripts (as pre-rendered HTML files) that are accessible through our Website. All ticket data, including messages from both open and closed tickets, is retained indefinitely unless deletion is requested. To request deletion, email [email protected] with the subject line "Data Deletion Request." See Section 8 for details on the deletion process and any limitations.
b) Third-Party Processing of Media
Images, videos, and other media associated with the Service may be subject to third-party processing and storage. This occurs in two scenarios:
In all of the above cases, media is processed and stored by our sub-processors on our behalf under data processing agreements that impose data protection obligations equivalent to those described in our Data Processing Agreement. Media may be delivered to end users through our content delivery network (CDN), which operates globally. For the list of sub-processors, including the content-moderation provider used for automated review, see our Data Processing Agreement. Information about how automated review decisions are made and how to contest them is set out in Section 7 below and in our Acceptable Use Policy.
c) Server Configuration Data
When a server administrator installs and configures the Bot, we store server configuration data including server IDs, channel IDs, role IDs, custom message templates, webhook URLs, and other settings configured through our dashboard. This data is associated with the Discord server, not with individual users.
d) Authentication Data
When you access the Service, your Discord authorization token is transmitted to our API. We use this token solely to verify your identity by retrieving your Discord user ID from Discord's API. We store only a cryptographic hash of the token paired with your Discord user ID, temporarily in memory on our own infrastructure, to maintain your authenticated session. We do not persistently store your Discord authorization token, email address, or any other OAuth data. No credentials or tokens are written to permanent storage at any time.
e) Automatically Collected Data
Ticket King is a general-purpose ticket management service and is not designed, intended, or authorized for the collection, storage, or processing of sensitive categories of personal data, including but not limited to health or medical information, financial account numbers, government-issued identification numbers, racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, biometric data, or data concerning a person's sex life or sexual orientation (as described in Article 9 of the GDPR and similar categories under other applicable laws).
Because ticket channels are used for free-form communication, users may voluntarily include sensitive information in their messages. Ticket King does not actively monitor, filter, or classify the content of messages for sensitive data categories. We process all ticket content uniformly as described in this Privacy Policy.
Server Administrator Responsibility: Server administrators who install the Bot are responsible for instructing their community members not to submit sensitive personal data in ticket channels unless the administrator has established an appropriate legal basis and safeguards for such processing. Ticket King disclaims all liability arising from the voluntary submission of sensitive personal data by users in ticket channels.
We collect and use your personal information for the following purposes:
We may share your personal information with the following categories of recipients:
Ticket King does not and will never sell, rent, lease, trade, or otherwise share personal data, server data, ticket messages, transcripts, uploaded media, or Discord API Data with any third party, except (i) with the sub-processors listed above strictly to operate the Service, (ii) with the payment processor for subscription billing, or (iii) where required by law as described in Section 5. We do not share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising and do not disclose personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
We may disclose your personal information to government authorities, law enforcement agencies, or other third parties if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to:
Where legally permitted, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected users before or promptly after such disclosure. However, we may be unable to provide advance notice where prohibited by law, court order, or where notice would jeopardize an investigation or pose a risk to the safety of any person.
Information disclosed under this section may include account data, server configurations, ticket transcripts, IP addresses, usage logs, and any other data we hold as described in Section 1.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), we process your personal data only when we have a valid legal basis under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or UK GDPR. The legal bases we rely on include:
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest at any time. If you do so, we will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
In accordance with Article 22 of the GDPR, we inform you of the automated processing activities we perform that may affect you, and of your rights in relation to them.
a) Operational Automated Systems
The Service employs automated systems for operational purposes, including spam detection, rate limiting, anti-abuse controls, and enforcement of our Terms of Service. These systems are used to maintain service integrity. We do not use personal data for profiling, scoring, or automated evaluation of personal aspects such as behavior, preferences, economic situation, health, or reliability outside the specific purposes described in this Policy. Any enforcement action arising from these operational systems that materially affects your access to the Service (such as account-level termination) involves human review and determination.
b) Automated Content Moderation
Images and text submitted through the Website dashboard for the bot personalizer feature (including bot display names, bios, avatars, and banners) are automatically reviewed for compliance with our Acceptable Use Policy, as described in Section 1(b) above. Based on the scores returned by the content-moderation provider, a submission may be automatically denied, the submitted content may be automatically removed from the Service, and, for severe violations (including apparent sexual content involving minors, other explicit sexual content, hate or extremist symbols, gore, self-harm content, and deepfaked faces), your access to the bot personalizer feature for the affected Discord server may be permanently suspended. These decisions may be made solely by automated means and may therefore fall within the scope of Article 22 GDPR.
Legal basis: The legal basis for this processing is (i) our legitimate interests in protecting users, Discord servers, and the integrity of the Service against prohibited content (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), (ii) compliance with legal obligations, including our reporting obligations to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) under 18 U.S.C. § 2258A (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR), and (iii) the performance of the contract under which we provide the Service to you (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). The processing is necessary for entering into and performing that contract; if you do not wish to be subject to this automated review, you should not submit the affected types of content to the Service.
Your rights: You have the right to obtain human intervention in respect of an automated decision that affects you, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision. To exercise these rights, follow the appeal process in Section 7 of our Acceptable Use Policy or contact us at [email protected] with the subject line "Moderation Appeal." A human reviewer will reassess the decision and respond within a reasonable time.
We do not use the content you submit, or the scores returned by the content-moderation provider, for any other automated decision-making, profiling, advertising, or model-training purpose.
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Specific retention periods are as follows:
We may retain certain information beyond these periods where required by applicable law, or to resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and protect our legal rights.
Justification for Indefinite Retention: In accordance with the storage limitation principle under Article 5(1)(e) of the GDPR, ticket transcript data and server configuration data are retained indefinitely by default because: (a) the primary purpose of the Service is to provide persistent, long-term access to support transcripts for accountability, dispute resolution, and record-keeping; (b) server administrators rely on historical transcript availability as an ongoing function of the Service; (c) there is no practical mechanism to determine when individual transcripts are no longer needed, as this varies by server and use case; and (d) deletion is available at any time upon request from the data subject or server administrator. We believe this approach balances the legitimate interests of server administrators against the rights of data subjects, particularly given the deletion mechanisms available. If you no longer wish for your ticket data to be retained, you may request deletion at any time using the process described above, and we will process your request within 30 days.
Discord Developer Policy Compliance: This retention approach is consistent with Discord's Developer Policy requirement that API Data be promptly deleted when no longer necessary for an application's stated functionality. Because the stated functionality of the Service is to provide persistent, long-term transcript access, transcript data remains necessary for the Service's stated purpose for as long as it is retained. When data is no longer necessary — such as when a user or server administrator requests deletion, when the Service ceases operations, or when Discord requests deletion — it is promptly deleted as described above and in our Data Processing Agreement.
Ticket data, including both real-time messages from open tickets and transcripts from closed tickets, is subject to the following access controls:
Staff and moderators of the Ticket King official support Discord server are not "authorized server staff" for any other Discord server. They have no access to any other server's tickets, transcripts, messages, configuration, uploaded media, or any other user or server data. Consistent with our Security Policy and Data Processing Agreement, access to production data and systems is restricted exclusively to the sole operator of the Service.
Ticket King is operated from the United States. Our server infrastructure is hosted in the United States, with content delivery and security services operating globally. If you are accessing the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your personal data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States.
For transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland to the United States, we rely on the following lawful transfer mechanisms. For direct transfers to Ticket King, our Data Processing Agreement incorporates the Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 2: Controller to Processor). For onward transfers to our sub-processors:
You may request further information about the applicable transfer mechanisms by contacting us at [email protected].
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal information:
How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. To verify your identity, we may require you to authenticate via Discord OAuth or provide your Discord user ID. Requests are processed free of charge. Under GDPR, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on manifestly unfounded or excessive requests. We are committed to providing easily accessible mechanisms for data requests and may introduce additional methods (such as bot commands or dashboard features) in the future to supplement the email-based process.
Response Timeframes: We will respond to your request without undue delay and within one month of receipt. This period may be extended by up to two additional months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests. We will inform you of any such extension within one month of receipt.
Right to Lodge a Complaint: If you believe that our processing of your personal data infringes applicable data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You may do so in the EU/EEA member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. UK residents may contact the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
Ticket King does not sell personal information, does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and does not derive revenue from the sale of personal data. While we may not meet the applicability thresholds of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), we are committed to transparency and will honor reasonable privacy requests from California residents to the extent they relate to data we hold.
In the preceding 12 months, we have collected the categories of personal information described in Section 1 above. We collect this information from the sources and for the purposes described in Sections 1 and 3. We share personal information with the categories of third parties described in Section 4. We have not sold or shared personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising in the preceding 12 months. If you are a California resident, you may contact us to request information about the categories of personal information we have collected about you, to request deletion of your personal information, or to exercise any other rights you believe may apply. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
To submit a request, contact us at [email protected].
If you are located in Brazil, the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD, Law No. 13,709/2018) provides you with specific rights regarding your personal data. We process your personal data on the basis of legitimate interest (Article 7, X of the LGPD), consent where applicable (Article 7, I), or as necessary for the provision of the Service (Article 7, V).
Your Rights Under the LGPD
To exercise your rights under the LGPD, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 15 business days.
In addition to the California rights described in Section 12, residents of certain other US states have specific privacy rights under their respective state laws, including but not limited to the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA), Utah Consumer Privacy Act (UCPA), and other applicable state privacy laws.
Your Rights May Include:
Our Practices: Ticket King does not sell personal data, does not use personal data for targeted advertising, and does not engage in profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Therefore, opt-out rights for these activities are not applicable.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframe required by your state's applicable law. If we decline to take action on a request, you may appeal our decision by contacting us with the subject line "Privacy Rights Appeal."
Our Service is accessible only through Discord, and we defer to Discord's Terms of Service and age verification requirements, which set minimum age thresholds for account creation. For clarity, users must be at least 13 years of age, or the minimum age of digital consent in their jurisdiction if higher (such as 16 in certain EU member states), to use the Service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals below these minimum ages. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child below the applicable minimum age, we will take steps to promptly delete that information. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected].
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls, network isolation of databases, and periodic security reviews. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. For more details about our security practices, please see our Security Policy.
The data described in Sections 1(a) and 1(b) of this Privacy Policy is obtained through Discord's API and is subject to Discord's Developer Terms of Service and Developer Policy. We use this data solely for the stated functionality of the Service, which is limited to ticket channel management, real-time message display, transcript generation and storage, server configuration management, and user authentication as described in Section 3. API Data is used solely for these stated purposes, is never used or accessed outside this defined scope, and is not accessible to staff or moderators of the Ticket King support Discord server. Access to API Data is restricted exclusively to the sole operator of the Service.
In accordance with Discord's Developer Policy, we do not:
We share API Data only with our service providers (sub-processors) as described in Section 4, when required by law as described in Section 5, or when a user expressly directs us to share their data. We do not share API Data with any other third party for any other purpose.
Our Website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that party's site. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy on this page and through an announcement in our official Discord server. For material changes that significantly affect your rights, we will provide at least 14 days' notice before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after such notice constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Ticket King shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to the processing of your personal data under this Privacy Policy, including but not limited to damages for loss of data, loss of privacy, unauthorized disclosure, or any failure to comply with applicable data protection law.
Ticket King's aggregate liability for any claims arising under or in connection with this Privacy Policy shall be subject to the limitation of liability set forth in Section 17 of our Terms of Service.
The limitations in this section shall not apply to: (a) liability arising from fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (b) liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence; or (c) any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable mandatory data protection law, including mandatory liability under Article 82 of the GDPR.
