Last updated: June 2, 2026

1. Introduction

The team developing the MiaCat Discord Bot ("the Bot", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you interact with our bot, including financial data related to cryptocurrency transactions and gaming activities.

This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected through the Bot, including through Discord, third-party services, and blockchain networks.

2.5 Security and Anti-Fraud Data

To protect the community and keep giveaways fair, the Bot operates a security and anti-fraud system that may collect and process: - Account-correlation and alt-detection signals: Indicators used to detect alternate or duplicate accounts (for example, to prevent one person from claiming a giveaway multiple times), which may include behavioral patterns and account metadata - Device and behavioral fingerprints: Technical and behavioral signals used to recognize and correlate accounts - Join and invite tracking: Records of how and when members join, used to detect coordinated or abusive activity - Third-party identity and reputation lookups: The Bot may query third-party services (such as alt-detection or reputation tools) to assess account risk - Suspension and moderation records: Records of restrictions, suspensions, reasons, and related evidence used to enforce our Terms and community rules

This information is used only for safety, fraud prevention, and rule enforcement, and is handled as described in Sections 4 and 5.
