The JSON file contains **all information** Arklynn stores about you across every server you share with the bot.\ It includes (but is not limited to): * Your Discord user ID and username (as last seen). * For each server: * Level, XP, total XP * Gems, inventory items * Voice minutes, message counts (daily/weekly/monthly total) * Warnings (if any) * Privacy settings and theme preference * Game playtime (if enabled) * Credibility score and change history (last 30 days) * Premium status (if applicable) {% hint style="info" %} The export is **exactly** the data stored – no additional formatting, no summaries.\ This ensures complete transparency and allows you to verify everything we hold. {% endhint %} #### Example Snippet (Simplified for Illustration) *Below is a **non‑technical example** to give you an idea of the structure. The actual export is a raw JSON file with all fields exactly as stored.* ```json { "user_id": "123456789012345678", "username": "nex.tm", "servers": { "876543210987654321": { "level": 27, "xp": 3245, "total_xp": 42891, "gems": 1250, "inventory": { "potion": 5, "sword": 1, "lucky_charm": 2 }, "voice_minutes": 1234, "message_count": 5678, "daily_messages": 12, "weekly_messages": 89, "monthly_messages": 345, "warnings": [], "theme": "midnight", "privacy": { "message_content": true, "server_members": true, "presence": true, "privacy_dms": true } } }, "activity": { # Not available (For Now) "Valorant": 45240, "Roblox": 19200 }, "credibility": { "score": 187, "history": [...] } } ``` {% hint style="danger" %} **This is only an example.** The actual export contains all fields exactly as they are stored in our databases.\ The data is presented without any interpretation – you get the raw information. {% endhint %} *** ### **Data Retention & Deletion** * **Active data** (e.g., your current level, gems, inventory) is kept as long as you use the bot. * If you leave a server, your data for that server is automatically deleted after a short grace period (usually 30 days). * You can request **full deletion** of your data at any time by contacting us in the [Support Server](https://arklynn.xyz/support). We’ll process it within 7 days. *** ### **Frequently Asked Questions?** {% stepper %} {% step %} ### **Do I have to disable anything to be safe?** No, the default settings are completely safe – we only store the minimum data needed for the features you use. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Can admins see my privacy settings or my exported data?** No – your privacy settings are personal and never shared. The export is sent **only to you** via DM. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### **I ran `/getmydata` but didn’t receive a DM – why?** Make sure your privacy settings allow DMs from server members. Also check that you haven’t accidentally blocked the bot. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### **How long is my data kept?** As long as you remain in a server with the bot. If you leave, your data for that server is deleted within 30 days. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### **I want to delete all my data. How?** Join our [Support Server](https://arklynn.xyz/support) and open a ticket. We’ll help you. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Is the example above my real data?** No – it’s just an illustration. Your actual export is a raw JSON & DB (raw .txt) file containing **exactly** what we store. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
