XBGuide Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 16, 2026

XBGuide is a Discord bot that shows Xbox Live information (profiles, achievements, gamer cards, Game Pass and store listings). This policy explains what data the bot stores and how to remove it.

Data XBGuide stores

XBGuide stores the minimum needed to work:

  • Account link (only if you run /link set): your Discord user ID, your Xbox gamertag, and your Xbox user ID (XUID).
  • Preferences: your saved card theme.
  • Feedback: messages you voluntarily submit with /feedback, along with your Discord user ID so we can follow up.
  • Usage counts: anonymous per-command usage totals (a number per command, with no user information attached).

Data XBGuide does NOT store

  • Discord message content or server content
  • Xbox or Microsoft credentials of any kind
  • Xbox profile data - profile, achievement, presence, and store information is fetched live from the OpenXBL API (public Xbox Live data) and held only in short-lived in-memory caches (minutes) to reduce API load

Where data lives

Stored data lives in a private database on the bot's hosting server. It is never sold, shared, or used for anything except operating the bot.

Third-party services

  • OpenXBL (xbl.io): used to fetch public Xbox Live data. Gamertags you look up are sent to this API.
  • Discord: the bot operates within Discord's platform under Discord's own privacy policy.

Removing your data

  • /link remove immediately deletes your account link and preferences.
  • To request deletion of feedback messages or anything else, contact us with /feedback or through the support server listed in /about.

Children

XBGuide does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. Discord requires users to be at least 13.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the updated version will be posted at this location with a new "last updated" date.

XBGuide is a fan-made project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft Corporation or Xbox.
