Where enabled by us, data sent to these services may be used by the provider to improve their models and services, in accordance with their applicable policies. Your chosen forename and DevID may be shared with OpenAI to personalise responses.

The data we collect, including your DevID, Discord ID, and forename, is stored securely in our databases. We retain this information for as long as necessary to provide services to you or as required by law. You may contact us to request the removal of your data, but please note that doing so will revoke your access to all related services provided by DevQuery.
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
DevQuery provides AI-powered features that rely on third-party artificial intelligence services, including the OpenAI API. When you interact with these features, the content you submit may be transmitted to and processed by these providers in order to generate responses.
DevQuery has enabled settings that allow OpenAI to use submitted API data for the purpose of improving their models and services. This means that chat content may be retained and reviewed by OpenAI in accordance with their policies.
You should not submit sensitive personal data, confidential information, or any content you do not wish to be processed by third-party AI providers when using AI-powered features.
DevQuery may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
In compliance with Discord's policies, DevQuery is not knowingly accessible to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page along with a date of last update. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Update notifications may be sent in the case of major policy changes via our Discord server.
