Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-06-24

1. How Rewynd handles audio

• While in a voice channel, Rewynd keeps only a short rolling buffer in memory (a configurable number of seconds).
• This buffer is never written to disk, is continuously overwritten, and is discarded when Rewynd leaves the channel, stops, or restarts.
• We never passively save what people say. Running /clip sends the file to your Discord channel, and we keep no copy.
• The one exception is audio someone deliberately saves to the soundboard (an upload, or a clip you choose to keep). Those files ARE stored on our servers (per server), encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, and persist until deleted (see §5 and §6).
• Rewynd collects no audio from anyone who does not speak while it is present.

2. Data we collect

• Soundboard sounds you upload or save, stored per server.
• Sound attribution: the user ID that uploaded a sound, and, for a clip saved to the soundboard, the user IDs whose voices are in it (so any of them can delete it).
• Transcripts: if you transcribe a saved sound, the resulting text is cached with that sound and deleted along with it.
• Usage stats: per-sound and per-user play counts, plus a rolling ~30-day log of play events.
• Entrance-sound assignments (a Discord user ID → sound name, per server).
• Server settings and plan/entitlement status.
• Discord server, channel, and user IDs needed to operate.

3. Data we do NOT collect / how we share

• Real names, addresses, emails, or payment details (subscriptions are handled by Discord, so we never see your card).
• Any data about people who don't speak, use a command, or interact with Rewynd.
• We never sell your data. We don't share it with third parties except the limited service providers needed for optional features.
• Transcription: when you use /transcribe or the Transcribe button, the audio you choose is sent to our speech-to-text provider (currently Groq) to generate text. We only send audio when you explicitly trigger transcription; nothing else leaves Rewynd.

4. Consent & notice

Recording voice may be regulated by law in your area. Server admins and users are responsible for obtaining any required consent. Rewynd makes recording visible with a notice and a [REC] nickname indicator while a buffer is active.

5. Retention

The in-memory buffer is never persisted. Soundboard sounds, stats, and entrance assignments are kept until deleted by an admin, the user, or until the server removes Rewynd. Play-event logs older than ~30 days are pruned automatically.

6. Your rights & data deletion

• /privacy summarizes this policy in Discord.
• /deletemydata removes your personal data (entrance sound, play-stat attribution, and your upload/voice attribution on saved sounds).
• /deletedata lets admins erase all of a server's stored data.

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect stored data, but no internet-connected system is perfectly secure. Use Rewynd at your own risk.
