Effective Date: July 31, 2026
Overview
This service operates an instance of
Out of Your Element (OoYE), which bridges conversations between Discord and Matrix. The purpose of the bridge is to allow users on both platforms to participate in the same conversations.
By participating in bridged channels or rooms, you acknowledge that your activity will be transmitted between Discord and Matrix.
What Information Is Processed
To provide bridging functionality, the service processes information including:
Message edits and deletions (where supported).
Attachments, images, videos, and other files you share.
Display names, usernames, avatars, and user IDs.
Membership events (joining, leaving, nickname changes, etc.).
Typing indicators and read-related events, where supported by the platforms.
Other events required for the bridge to function.
This information is transmitted between Discord and Matrix so that users on both platforms have a consistent view of the conversation.
Data Storage
The bridge may temporarily or permanently store data necessary for its operation, including:
Room and channel mappings.
Configuration information.
Logs generated for debugging, abuse prevention, or operational purposes.
The bridge is
not intended to archive conversations beyond what is necessary to operate the service. However, messages may exist in:
Bridge logs or databases where technically required.
Client devices used by participants.
Third Parties
Messages sent through the bridge are transmitted to:
Matrix homeservers participating in the conversation.
Once information reaches those services, it is subject to their respective privacy policies and data handling practices.
Visibility of Messages
Anything posted in a bridged room or channel should be considered visible to users on both platforms.
Deleting or editing a message may not immediately or completely remove copies that have already been synchronized, cached, or retained by participating servers or clients.
Data Retention
Operational logs and bridge data are retained only as long as reasonably necessary to operate, troubleshoot, maintain, or secure the service. Retention periods may change based on operational requirements.
Security
Reasonable efforts are made to protect the bridge and the information it processes. However, no Internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices
If you do not want your messages or other activity transmitted between Discord and Matrix, you should not participate in bridged channels or rooms.
If you have questions about data associated with this bridge or would like to request deletion of bridge-specific data where feasible, contact the administrator using the information below.
