Passing a scan does not guarantee a file is harmless
You're reading a notice. This page doesn't change any of your settings.
We’re showing this because a “scanned” result can feel reassuring. We don’t want you to mistake a security check for a guarantee.
When file processing is enabled, supported attachments or files reached through links may be sent to ASCA and its processing services for security checks and text extraction. Information inside those files may then be used for moderation, so avoid submitting sensitive documents.
File checks, malware scanning, and size limits provide multiple layers of protection, but new or hidden threats can still get through. A completed scan is not proof that a file is safe. A failed or unavailable scan has not cleared it.
Continue to use caution when opening files. We do not sell their contents or use them to train general-purpose AI models.
Processing and sharing
ASCA receives applicable content to provide moderation. Approved infrastructure and processing services may handle it for that purpose under access and purpose restrictions. ASCA does not sell moderation content to advertisers or data brokers or use it to train general-purpose AI models.
Retention and access
How much earlier activity is used depends on your features, settings, and plan. Records needed for security checks, abuse investigations, or audits may be kept longer. Some protected moderation records used for security checks and troubleshooting currently have no automatic deletion date. Backups and legal holds can delay deletion. Authorized personnel may access relevant records when needed for support, security, review, or legal obligations; access is restricted and audited where applicable.
Controls and limitations
Administrators choose the rules, content limits, moderator approvals, and bot access available with their plan. Removing a bot stops future access but does not erase existing records. You can request an account export or closure in privacy settings. Sign-in protection, restricted access, encryption, request checks, and access records reduce risk, but no online service can guarantee absolute confidentiality or security.
Revisit or change your choice
Review your choices and manage account privacy requests in Privacy and transparency. Your server settings control moderation, and Discord lets you change which channels the bot can access. When we show this notice before a choice, closing it without continuing keeps your current settings. Removing a bot stops future access but doesn't delete records already kept for security or audits.
