Discord enables you to build meaningful connections around the joy of playing games through voice, video, and text features. Whether you're part of a club, gaming group, or just a handful of friends that want to spend time together, Discord makes it easy to connect with friends.

Our "services" has the same meaning as defined in the Terms of Service . They include the Discord app, which can be accessed on mobile, web, desktop, console, or even a connected home appliance-any device with a web browser and internet connection. We also have a website, blog, and support center, and we may collect your information through other means like surveys, emails, and social media. If we build another product, our services include that too.

As explained in our Terms of Service , we allow users to add content to the services in a number of different ways, including via direct messages and in smaller and larger spaces. If you share content within larger spaces, that content may be accessed by many people, including people you do not know. For example, some servers are available in the Server Discovery section of the app and do not require an invite link to join. Other server owners may publish their server invite link on public websites. Anyone can access these servers, and you should be aware that server owners or admins set these permissions, and like the size of a server, the permissions may change over time.

We may also use content posted in larger spaces to help us develop, improve, and power our services, including features that help you catch up on conversations and safety features that identify harmful content on the services and support the enforcement of our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines . These things are important to us, and we believe they will make Discord even better for our users. We will always try to let you know the type of space you are in (although we don't control where invite links are shared or the permissions for that server). You can limit the extent to which your content is used for these purposes as described in the "How to control your privacy" section below. You can learn more about our approach to safety and content moderation, including how we use your information for these purposes, in our Safety Center . You should take all of this into account when you are using our services, and choose the spaces, features, and settings that are most appropriate for your content.

We don't make money from selling your personal information to third parties. Our business is funded through subscriptions, paid products, and sponsored content (like Quests and other sponsored formats).
