Privacy Policy
This page explains what BitForge collects, how it is stored and used, and the privacy rights available to users of the bot.
No Tracking. No Data Selling.
We only store the minimal operational data needed to manage deposit addresses, track balances, and process crypto transactions inside Discord.
Only the data required to run the bot
When you interact with BitForge, we adhere to a strict data-minimization principle:
- Discord User ID & Discord Username
- Cryptographic deposit addresses generated for you across supported chains (USDT, SOL, ETH, BTC, LTC)
- Internal off-chain balance ledger
- Transaction history & receipts (tips, deposits, withdrawals)
- Timestamps and transaction hashes
- No passwords or credentials
- No email addresses or phone numbers
- No real names or physical locations
- No IP addresses or browser fingerprints
- No Discord channel message content (we only process commands matching the prefix or slash format)
Security is built into the storage layer
- Encryption at Rest: All custodial private keys are encrypted using bank-grade AES-256 in CBC mode with HMAC SHA-256 authentication. Decryption occurs strictly in volatile memory during active transaction execution.
- No Plaintext Key Exporting: BitForge never displays, transmits, or logs plaintext private keys in Discord channels, DMs, or public web interfaces.
- Database Isolation: Data is persisted in a secured SQLite architecture utilizing Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) and strict filesystem-level access boundaries.
- Ephemeral Privacy: Sensitive interaction outputs (such as private deposit address generation and balance inquiries) utilize Discord ephemeral messages visible exclusively to you.
To generate wallets, track balances, and process actions
Your data is used strictly for operational bot functionality:
- Generate unique cryptographic deposit addresses for supported assets (USDT, SOL, ETH, BTC, LTC).
- Maintain an accurate, real-time off-chain ledger of user balances.
- Process instantaneous zero-gas social tips between Discord members.
- Execute and broadcast on-chain withdrawals to destination addresses.
- Display user profile statistics and audit history via
/balanceand/history.
No Data Selling: We do not monetize, rent, or distribute your personal data or transaction history to any third-party marketing companies or brokers.
Minimal data transmission to blockchain infrastructure
BitForge interfaces with the following external technical services:
- Discord API: Delivers bot commands, user interactions, and message dispatching under the Discord Privacy Policy.
- Blockchain RPC Nodes: Public nodes (Alchemy, Infura, Solana RPC, litecoinspace.org, btcscan.org) are queried to confirm incoming deposits and broadcast signed withdrawal transactions.
- CoinGecko API: Read-only price oracle used to calculate estimated USD values without transmitting any user identifiers.
Compliance with Discord Community Standards
BitForge complies with Discord’s Terms of Service and global data protection regulations. Users must satisfy Discord's minimum platform age requirements (at least 13 years old, or the legal minimum age required in your jurisdiction to use Discord).
We do not knowingly collect or maintain personal data from individuals under the minimum Discord age. If we learn that a user under the legal age has accessed the service, we will promptly delete their associated database records.
You can request deletion, export, or balance withdrawal
- Balance Withdrawal: You may withdraw your entire cryptocurrency balance to an external wallet at any time prior to account deletion using
/withdraw. - Data Access & Export: Inspect all stored ledger data, balances, and transaction history at any time using
/balanceand/history. - Data Deletion ("Right to be Forgotten"): You may request complete erasure of your Discord User ID, encrypted keys, and settings from our active database by contacting support. (Note: Historical blockchain transactions already broadcasted remain immutable on public ledgers.)
BitForge is an automated utility bot, not a bank
BitForge is a Discord utility and social tipping bot, not a licensed bank or financial depository. We are not liable for funds lost due to incorrect withdrawal addresses provided by users. Because blockchain transactions are irreversible, always double-check destination addresses before confirming withdrawals.
