Hosting, services, and internal security
All data is securely stored on MongoDB, ensuring privacy and end-to-end security. Access to the data is protected by a password that only the owner has access to, and the password is periodically changed to enhance security.
Our bot is hosted on the DBH (DanBot Hosting) platform, which provides reliable hosting services specifically designed for Discord bots. This ensures the availability and optimal performance of the bot.
The owner and creator of the bot's account is maintained with high security measures, including the enablement of 2-step verification, to prevent unauthorized access.
The bot itself adheres to established rules and best practices for internet security to mitigate potential risks and vulnerabilities.
To enhance security, all passwords and API keys used by the bot are encrypted using end-to-end encryption. This means that the sensitive information is encoded in a way that can only be decrypted by authorized parties, providing an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access.
NEW: The bot now incorporates an AI-based self-security system. This system utilizes artificial intelligence algorithms to detect and respond to potential security threats in real-time. By constantly monitoring and analyzing activities within the bot, the AI-based system can identify suspicious behavior and take appropriate measures to safeguard the bot and its data.
These measures collectively contribute to the overall security and protection of the bot, ensuring a safe and reliable user experience.

Data is automatically removed when it is no longer relevant or necessary for the intended purpose. For example, once a giveaway or event comes to an end, the associated data is no longer required and is promptly deleted.
Manually
