Privacy policy

Last updated: October 2026

This English version is provided for convenience only. Only the German version is legally binding.

This policy applies to the Modario website and to the Discord bot “Modario”. It explains which personal data we process, for what purpose and for how long.

1. Controller

Stefan Rohrbach, DMNT Studio
c/o Online-Impressum 10950, Europaring 90, 53757 Sankt Augustin, Germany
Email: dmnt-studio@mail.online-impressum.de

No data protection officer has been appointed because there is no legal obligation to do so.

2. Website

Server log files

When you visit the website, the web server automatically stores:

The purpose is the secure and stable operation of the website, for example to detect attacks and errors. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Log files are deleted after 14 days unless a specific incident needs to be investigated for longer.

Cookies and third-party services

The website does not set cookies, does not use tracking and does not load content from third-party servers (such as fonts or analytics services).

If you switch the sound on the home page off (default: on) or back on, or choose a language via the flag in the top right corner, your browser stores this setting locally (local storage) so that it is kept for your next visit. The setting is not transmitted to us and can be changed or deleted at any time via the switch, the language menu or your browser settings. The legal basis is Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG, because storing it is necessary for the function you requested.

Encryption

The connection is encrypted with TLS. The certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt. No visitor data is transmitted to Let's Encrypt in the process.

3. Discord bot “Modario”

Roles

Whoever uses Modario on their Discord server (server operator) decides what the bot is used for there. The server operator is the controller within the meaning of the GDPR for the data of that server's members. DMNT Studio processes this data as a processor under Art. 28 GDPR on the basis of a data processing agreement, which is concluded during setup with /modario setup. Members with questions about their data should therefore first contact the respective server operator.

DMNT Studio is the controller for the data of the server operators themselves (setup, contract, records).

Which data the bot processes

Message content, i.e. what members write in channels: so that the group finder can return removed posts and messages to their authors, the bot has Discord's permission to receive message content (“Message Content Intent”). Discord therefore technically also transmits the content of other messages on servers the bot is on. The bot does not evaluate this content, does not keep it in memory and does not store it – it uses content only in the group finder case described above. Input into the bot's forms (e.g. an event title) is separate and described above. With the module Garnison the bot also receives message content for moderation: it uses it only to secure hits of automatic moderation and reported posts as evidence and to keep a ticket’s transcript; it does not evaluate or store other messages.

Purposes and legal bases

Storage period

Discord

The bot works through the Discord platform. All data therefore also passes through Discord. For users in the European Economic Area this is Discord Netherlands BV, Schiphol Boulevard 195, 1118 BG Schiphol, Netherlands. Discord also processes data in the USA. According to its own statements, Discord participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Which data Discord itself processes is described in Discord's privacy policy.

Twitch

For live notifications the bot queries public channel data from Twitch Interactive, Inc., 350 Bush Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA. Only the Twitch name or Twitch user ID is transmitted, never Discord data; Twitch thereby learns that the live status of this channel is being queried. As far as we know (October 2026), Twitch does not participate in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework; there is therefore no adequacy decision for Twitch in the USA, and your data is not protected there to an equivalent level (for example against access by authorities). The query therefore only takes place if you add your channel yourself; the entry form points this out, and by submitting it you consent (Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR). “Remove Twitch” in /profile ends it immediately. The preview and profile images on the live card are links to Twitch that Discord loads; the bot does not load them. Which data Twitch itself processes is described in the Twitch privacy notice.

4. Hosting

The website, bot and database run on a server of Contabo GmbH, Welfenstraße 22, 81541 Munich, Germany. The data centre is located in the European Union (Lauterbourg, France) and is operated by Contabo France SAS. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with Contabo.

5. Contact by email or Discord

If you write to us by email or in the support channel, we process your details to answer your request. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where a contract is concerned, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We delete the request once it has been dealt with and no retention obligation applies.

6. Your rights

You have the right to

An informal message to the email address above is sufficient. You can also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the one responsible for us: Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Baden-Württemberg, www.baden-wuerttemberg.datenschutz.de.

7. Changes

If new functions are added, such as paid tiers or the news module, we will extend this policy before they become available. The data processing agreement (version 2.4) already describes these modules. The version published here applies.
