The short of it

Following below is a dense wall of text explaining what we do with the data we’re given. In layman’s terms, here’s all you need to know:

• Reto collects certain information about you and the messages that have been reacted to to operate.
• You can export a log of the information Reto stores about you by using /privacy personal export.
• If you’re a server admin, you can export a log of the information Reto stores about your server by using /privacy server export.
• You can delete your data off of Reto’s database with /privacy personal delete. At the moment, your data is not removed from Reto’s database when deleting your Discord account.
• Global Discovery lets you see messages from servers that have been set to Public (opt-in) and have +10 Global Karma. If a server you’re in is set to Public, you can personally opt-out using /privacy personal discovery.
• We will never sell or rent your personal data to third parties, and we will never use it to train AI models.

The Reto Discord bot

The Reto bot for Discord stores a variety of data to function.

• Users
  • Your User ID, which we store for relating messages, Karma totals and other uses of Reto back to you, but can also be used to display your username and avatar. User data is stored for as long as it is necessary to operate Reto and its features, unless the user requests deletion through the available privacy commands.
  • The ID of your Messages that have been reacted to at least once. These are stored as Message IDs, and are only used by the bot on command to retrieve the contents, attachments, and other miscellaneous data. The contents of your messages are not actively reviewed by Reto developers, except when a message is reported through Global Discovery, required to investigate abuse, resolve technical issues, or comply with applicable law. Message data is stored for as long as it is necessary to operate Reto and its features, unless the user requests deletion through the available privacy commands.
  • Your Reactions to other User’s messages when a Reactable is triggered.
  • Selected Messages which you’ve right-clicked on and selected Select this message on the Apps menu. This data is stored for a maximum of an hour.
  • Reto specific information, such as Karma totals and configuration settings.
  • Privacy related settings, like the ability to store messages or set your account as Private.
• Servers (or Guilds)
  • Your server’s User ID, which we use to trace back server-specific settings, like Reactables.
  • IDs of Roles, Channels and Emojis that have been used with Reto throughout the Setup process.
  • Messages of your Users that have been reacted to. See the Users and Discovery sections for more information.
• Administrative
  • The User and Server IDs of developer accounts to show exclusive Badges and enable developer only commands.

We utilise this data solely to operate and improve Reto, including features such as Leaderboards, Message Pinning, Discovery, and Profiles. This data is processed only within the Reto Discord bot, the Reto website, and their associated databases and infrastructure. We do not sell or rent personal data, and we do not use user data to train machine learning or AI models.

You can export this data to a .JSON file using /privacy personal export. If you choose to delete your data from the Reto database, you can do so under /privacy personal delete. Please keep in mind that data from you is stored as soon as someone reacts to a message of yours - if you want to minimize future data collection, remove Reto from any Discord servers you are in and avoid interacting with servers where Reto is installed.

Reto developers take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect stored data. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of user data.

Discovery

Discovery is a feature in development for the Reto Discord bot that allows users to browse messages on the current Server, and those from other Servers which have set themselves to Public.

The random message pool used on Global Discovery is composed of messages from Public Servers with 10 Global Karma or more from Users that have not opted-out of Discovery. If you do not wish for messages from your server to be shared, you can disable Public Server on the last step of /setup, or by using /privacy server discovery.

If you form part of a Public Server and don’t want your messages to form part of Discovery on any server, you can use /privacy personal discovery to disable your messages from being used in Discovery.

Messages in Discovery can be reported by reacting with 🚩. The reported message will be viewable by Reto Staff, and if found to violate Reto’s Terms of Service, removed from the pool of publically available messages.

The Reto website

The Reto website is hosted using Cloudflare, and utilises many of their built-in statistics - as such, the developers of Reto have anonymised data referring to the user’s country and pages visited, none of which can be traced back to you. Cloudflare claims not to sell or rent your personal data. Reto developers do not control Cloudflare’s data practices and rely on the information provided in their public privacy documentation. For more information, please refer to the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

We currently do not store cookies on your device for any purpose throughout the Reto website.

The Reto Legacy Discord bot

Alongside the data that the current iteration of Reto saves to its database, the Reto Legacy Discord bot stores:

• Users
  • A list of Discord server IDs both you and Reto are both in.
  • User messages that have been reacted to at least once. As opposed to the current version of Reto, Reto Legacy stores some of this data (such as text, embeds, attachments and whether it was sent on a NSFW channel) on its database, without referencing Discord’s API on future calls. This data is stored for up to 30 days, or indefinitely, if the user has enabled Permanent Storage.
  • Miscellaneous Reto-specific data that isn’t available in its newer iteration, such as data for the Holiday 2022 event.

Reto Legacy reached End of Life on April 6th, 2023.

You can inspect its source code here. The Reto developers don’t make themselves responsible for other data that self-hosting individuals may decide to store on their personal instances of Reto Legacy.

All data Reto Legacy stores is encrypted.

Retool Waitlist

We store email addresses sent voluntarily through the Reto Waitlist for as long as the waitlist or related communications remain relevant, or until the user unsubscribes or requests deletion. These emails will only be used for promotional purposes, once when the Open Beta (or other opportunities for the User to preview the Discord bot early) is available, and once when the Full Launch is available. The emails may also be used for big Reto updates, and changes to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. More information about how to unsubscribe from this mail list will be available once the Reto Open Beta launches.

Reto’s Waitlist is provided by Launchlist. You can read their Privacy Policy here.

Children’s privacy

Reto is not intended for use by individuals under the minimum age required by Discord’s Terms of Service. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Legal basis and jurisdiction

Reto processes personal data solely for the purpose of operating its features and services, based on user consent and legitimate interest, in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Reto is operated from the Republic of Argentina, and data is stored and processed on servers located in Argentina. This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the Republic of Argentina.

User data may be disclosed if required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or lawful requests from public authorities.

Updates to the Reto Privacy Policy

The Reto Privacy Policy is updated regularly as more functionality is aded to the Reto Discord bot and website. These updates are put in effect upon publication. Continued use of Reto after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
