Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Echo ("Echo", "the bot", "we", "us") is an AI-powered Discord application operated by NexaLab. This Privacy Policy explains what information Echo processes when you use it on Discord, why we process it, which providers are involved, and the choices you have.

2. Information we process

Echo only processes the minimum information required to deliver its features:

• Message content you send to Echo — slash command arguments (e.g. prompts for /ask or /imagine), messages you mention Echo in, and messages you target with context-menu actions such as Translate, Check Fact, or Transcribe.
• Attachments you ask Echo to work on — an audio file for /transcribe, or an image for /inpaint. Attachments are only fetched when a command needs them.
• Server context — the server ID and channel ID where a command is used, so Echo can apply per-server settings (trigger word, prompt, allowlists) and know where to reply.
• Anonymous, aggregate usage counters — counts of commands and features used per server (prompts, images, TTS, STT, translations). These contain no message content and no personal data, and power the /telemetry command.

3. How it is used

• Message content is forwarded to our AI providers solely to generate a response, an image, a translation, a summary, or audio.
• Message content is processed transiently, in memory, and is not retained as a message archive.
• Server and channel IDs are used to enforce settings, permissions, and rate limits.
• Aggregate counters are never linked to an individual user.
• Web searches triggered by research questions use the words of your question as the search query, nothing more.

4. Providers Echo relies on

Echo is a client of the services below. When a feature runs, the relevant content (your prompt, an attachment, or a search query) is sent to the provider that powers that feature. Each provider processes data under its own terms and privacy policy, linked from each card.

5. What goes where

A per-feature summary of the data that leaves Echo for each provider:

6. Data retention

Echo does not store message content. Prompts and attachments live in memory only as long as the request is in flight. The only durable data is:

• Per-server configuration you or a server admin explicitly set (trigger word, server prompt, channel allowlists, customization);
• Personal instructions you set with /persona;
• Anonymous usage counters.

You can clear persona and configuration at any time with the relevant commands (e.g. /persona clear, /settings), and opt out of telemetry entirely with the Opt Out button in /telemetry.

7. Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing. Data is shared only with the service providers strictly necessary to run the feature you invoked, as described above, or where required by law.

8. Security

All provider requests travel over TLS. API keys are stored only in Echo's server environment and are never exposed to Discord. Access to the infrastructure is restricted to the operators at NexaLab.

9. Children

Echo is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required by Discord's Terms of Service in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Your rights & choices

• Opt out of telemetry — use the Opt Out button in /telemetry (per bot-installed server).
• Delete your personal instructions — /persona clear.
• Delete server data — a server admin can reset settings, or remove Echo entirely.
• GDPR & similar rights — depending on your jurisdiction (e.g. the GDPR in the EU), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, and to object to or restrict processing. Contact us (below) and we will respond promptly.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time — for example when a provider is added, removed, or changes its terms. The latest version is always available at this page, and we will note the effective date of any changes.
