This Privacy Policy explains how Bozos TTS ("the Bot," "we," "us," or "our") processes information when you use the Bot on Discord.
Bozos TTS is a Discord text-to-speech bot that can join a voice channel and read messages posted in that voice channel's built-in text chat.
By using Bozos TTS, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Bozos TTS may temporarily process the following information:
The Bot may access:
This information is used to determine whether your message should be spoken and to announce the sender's display name.
When Bozos TTS has been activated using /join, it processes messages that are:
For example, a message may be converted into speech in the following format:
Hermione Granger said, Hello everyone.
The Bot processes interactions with commands such as:
/join/leave/helpThis may include the server, channel, user, and time associated with the command.
For maintenance and troubleshooting, the Bot may temporarily record:
These logs are used only to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Bot.
Information is processed to:
Connect the Bot to Discord voice channels
Determine which VC chats should be spoken
Announce the sender's server display name
Convert text into synthesized speech
Queue and play generated audio
Detect and resolve technical errors, prevent misuse and maintain service reliability
Bozos TTS currently uses an Edge-compatible text-to-speech service to generate audio.
To create speech, the Bot may transmit the following text to the third-party TTS service:
For example:
Hermione Granger said, Hello everyone.
The service may process this text on external infrastructure. Users should not send passwords, authentication tokens, payment details, medical information, or other sensitive personal information through a voice-channel chat while TTS is active.
Generated speech audio may be temporarily saved as an audio file on the Bot's hosting environment.
These temporary files are used only for playback in the Discord voice channel and are deleted after playback or after a failed playback attempt.
The Bot is not designed to maintain a permanent archive of generated audio.
Bozos TTS does not currently maintain a permanent database of voice-channel messages or generated audio.
Temporary data may remain for limited periods in:
Operational logs may be retained according to the hosting provider's log-retention settings. Information should not be kept longer than reasonably necessary for operation and troubleshooting, consistent with data-minimisation and storage-limitation principles.
We do not sell personal information.
Information may be shared only as reasonably necessary by service providers involved in operating the Bot, including:
For commands, messages, servers, users, and voice connections
For text-to-speech generation
Required to deliver the service
Server members can stop the Bot from processing new voice-channel chat messages by using:
/leave
Users may also:
Requests can be sent to [email protected]
Deletion requests cannot remove information controlled independently by Discord, Railway, Microsoft, or another third-party provider.
Server administrators who add Bozos TTS should:
Inform members that messages may be converted into speech
Use the Bot only in appropriate channels
Ensure the Bot has only the permissions it needs
Avoid activating TTS where sensitive or confidential conversations occur
Follow applicable laws, Discord rules, and server policies
