Anime Hideout — Terms of Service
By using this platform you agree to the following:
1. Data we collect
• Your email address, to register your account and verify you are not a bot.
• Your Discord username and ID, to fetch your profile, ranks, stats, and punishment history shown on the site.
• Your Discord status, to display it on your website profile.
• Your server nickname, avatar, and roles, to keep your site profile up to date.
• Messages you send through this site (DMs and group chats), including read timestamps.
• Punishments and appeals associated with your account.
• AI Rule Assistant questions you submit (used to improve moderator coverage of unanswered questions).
2. What we can and cannot access
• We cannot access your Discord account, password, or act on your behalf in any way.
• When logging in, Discord shows you exactly what permissions we are requesting.
• You may search "Discord OAuth" to verify what developers can and cannot see.
3. How Discord data is used
• Strictly for authentication, role-based access, and displaying your profile on the site.
• Roles are synced from the Anime Hideout Discord server on each login.
4. Punishment appeals
• You may submit one active appeal per punishment.
• Moderators who issued a punishment cannot review the appeal for it.
• Decisions (Approve / Deny) are final unless escalated through the regular staff chain.
5. Messaging data
• Messages are retained for moderation and audit purposes.
• Deleted messages remain as a placeholder visible to moderators only.
6. Account termination
• Accounts may be terminated by an Admin or Owner for severe rule violations.
• Termination removes site access only; it does not affect your Discord account directly.
7. Questions & concerns
• If you have privacy questions, please DM a developer directly before making it public.
• We are happy to clarify anything transparently.
8. Changes
• These Terms may be updated at any time.
• You will be required to re-accept on next login when the version changes.Changelog
