Website Cookies & Local Storage

The CEA website uses a small number of technologies such as cookies and local storage to provide core site functionality and remember choices you make.

Essential cookies — Used where necessary for core website functions and to remember your cookie-consent choice.
Preference storage — May be used to remember optional settings, such as display preferences, when you allow this category.
Analytics — CEA does not currently load analytics cookies by default. If analytics are introduced, they will only be enabled where the user has allowed the analytics category.

On your first visit you can accept all optional cookies, reject them, or manage your choices individually. You can change those choices later using Cookie Settings in the website footer.

Data Storage

CEA bots store only the minimum information necessary for their operation.

This may include server configuration settings, channel settings, feature preferences, active giveaway information, participant entries, and other information required for specific bot features.

Temporary data used to process commands, interactions, or Pokémon name guesses may be handled during operation but is not retained longer than necessary.

Security

Reasonable technical and administrative measures are taken to protect stored data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

Your Rights

Users may stop interacting with CEA bots at any time.

Where a CEA bot is installed on another Discord server, server administrators may remove the bot at any time, which will stop the bot from accessing that server's data.

Server administrators may also request deletion of stored server configuration data by contacting CEA.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to CEA bots, their functionality, or data practices.

Continued use of CEA bots after changes are made constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
