Permissions
The invite requests View Channels, Send Messages, Embed Links, Read Message History, and Use Application Commands. The bot does not need Message Content Intent. Keep its role high enough to post in the channels you select.
Privacy
For each installed server we store the guild id, chosen channel ids, notification toggles, delivery cursors, and the list of followed game ids. We do not read message content. See the Privacy Policy for site-wide practices. Personal Discord webhook alerts on your WhatALaunch account remain separate from this bot.
