Privacy policy
Last updated: November 6, 2026
PandaBot is a Discord bot that adds song saving, now-playing cards and music stats to servers that use a music bot such as Jockie Music. This policy explains what PandaBot stores, why, and how to delete it. PandaBot is run by an independent developer ("we") and is not affiliated with Discord or Jockie Music.
What PandaBot reads
PandaBot can see messages in the channels it has access to. It uses that to:
- read the posts of the music bots a server follows ("Now playing", "Added Track"),
- notice its own commands (such as
p!statsand!like), and - notice music-bot commands (such as
m!play) so a song can be credited to whoever requested it.
It does not store the text of people's messages, only music-bot posts as listed below. It also sees who is in a voice channel, but it never joins voice and never hears or records audio.
What PandaBot stores
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Songs played in a server: title, artist, link, time, channel, and the Discord user ID and display name of the person who requested it | Play history, p!played, charts and stats |
| The user IDs of people in the voice channel when a song started | p!heard ("what was that song?") and taste matching |
| Songs you save, with the server they were saved in, and the ID of the DM card we sent you | Your saved list, and deleting the card when you unsave |
Your DM preference (/dms) | So we only DM you if you want it |
| Server settings: announcement channel and mode, and which music bots the server follows | Running the bot the way the server chose |
| Copies of recent music-bot posts (for example Jockie's "Started playing" and "Added Track" messages, which can include a requester's name) | Checking and fixing how PandaBot reads them (/musicbot check) |
| Operational logs, which include user IDs and song titles (for example "Save by <user ID>") | Fixing problems. Kept by our hosting provider for a limited time |
We don't collect email addresses, IP addresses, payment details, or anything from outside Discord.
How it's used and shared
Data is used only to provide PandaBot's features. It is never sold or used for advertising. Other members of a
server can see stats about that server through PandaBot's commands, including what you requested and how many
songs you saved. Data from one server is not shown in another, except that /forgetme works across all of them.
PandaBot runs on Render (in the United States), which stores the database and logs on our behalf. Messages and DMs travel through Discord, under Discord's privacy policy.
How long it's kept
Saved songs, play history and listening records are kept until they are deleted as described below, so stats and your saved list keep working. Daily backups may hold deleted data for up to 14 days.
Deleting your data
- Everything about you: run
/forgetmein any server with PandaBot. After you confirm, it deletes your saved songs (and their DM cards), the record of songs you heard in voice and your DM preference in every server, and removes your name and ID from songs you requested. It can't be undone. - One song: tap its ❤️ again, press "Remove from list" on its DM card, or use
/unlike. - A whole server's data: a server admin can ask us using the contact below.
Children
PandaBot is for Discord users, and Discord requires users to be at least 13 (or older where local law requires). We don't knowingly collect data from anyone younger.
Open source
PandaBot's code is public at github.com/uncSoft/pandabot under the GNU AGPL-3.0, so you can check exactly what it stores and how.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date above. Significant changes will also be mentioned in p!help.
