How We Enforce Rules


HOW DISCORD WORKS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT

These guidelines are intended for law enforcement and other authorized
government entities seeking information/records about Discord users. Discord
provides user information to these entities  when we are in receipt of
enforceable legal process. Discord works with law enforcement agencies in cases
of immediate danger and/or self-harm, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2702. We swiftly
report child abuse material and the users responsible to the National Center for
Missing and Exploited Children.

Note: Usernames have changed on Discord. Usernames are now lowercase,
alphanumeric, limited to certain special characters, and do not have
discriminators. During the transition from old usernames to new usernames, some
users will still have old usernames with discriminators (#0000) while other
users will have new usernames. For more information see our Help Center article
here. You can also read the blog post about this change from our co-founder
here.


WHAT IS DISCORD?

Discord is a voice, video, and text chat app that's used by tens of millions of
people ages 13+ to talk and hang out with their communities and friends.

The vast majority of servers are private, invite-only spaces for groups of
friends and communities to stay in touch and spend time together. There are also
larger, more open communities, generally centered around specific topics. Users
have control over whom they interact with and what their experience on Discord
is.

More information about Discord and our community goals can be found here.




CONTACT INFORMATION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS

Please submit your inquiry in our Government Request Portal at:
https://app.kodex.us/discord/signin.

Our online portal will guide you through how to submit a request. You will need
to:

1. Verify your email address via the link sent to your email address (only valid
law enforcement or government domains will be accepted);
2. Fill in the required fields in the webform;
3. Upload a copy of any relevant documents in PDF format (for example, a copy of
the subpoena or search warrant, as well as any non-disclosure order you may
have).

Our online portal also allows you to add information, ask us questions, and
download the information when it is available.

 * All legal correspondence should be sent on company or agency letterhead with
   requisite signatures included.

 * We will not comply with overly broad or vague requests.

 * The legal process should identify the user for whom information is being
   requested.
 * Users should be identified by their 17-18 digit user identification number.
 * If the user identification number is unattainable, a username and four-digit
   discriminator should be provided.
 * Note: Usernames are changing on Discord. New usernames are lowercase,
   alphanumeric, limited to certain special characters, and do not have
   discriminators. During the transition from old usernames to new usernames,
   some users will still have old usernames with discriminators (#0000) while
   other users will have new usernames. For more information see our Help Center
   article here. You can also read the blog post about this change from our
   co-founder here.
 * Instructions on how to identify a user can be found here.

 * Be advised, users are allowed to change their usernames and four-digit
   discriminators, thus responses rendered by Discord may list different
   usernames and four-digit discriminators than those originally requested.
 * All legal processes should comply with 18 U.S. Code § 2701-2712.




EMERGENCY REQUESTS

 * If you believe that an emergency involving danger of death or serious
   physical injury to any person requires disclosure without delay, please
   submit an emergency disclosure request via our Government Request Portal at:
   https://app.kodex.us/discord/signin. You will be asked to provide the factual
   basis for the request so that we may evaluate it under 18 U.S.C. § 2702.
 * We provide emergency disclosure responses only when enough information is
   provided for Discord to, in good faith, believe that the exigent situation
   requires disclosure of user information, as outlined in 18 U.S.C. § 2702.
 * We do not disclose information for emergency requests unless they are from
   law enforcement.




PRESERVATION REQUEST

 * Discord accepts requests to preserve records pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2703(f).
 * We take steps to preserve account records once proper requests have been
   received and processed.
 * Content and non-content information is preserved for 90 days, from the time
   of processing, and can only be extended for an additional 90 day period,
   pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2703. In certain cases, an additional 90 days may be
   requested.
 * Please reference the initial preservation request by providing the assigned
   ticket number and clear date range when sending legal process to obtain the
   preserved information.
 * We are not permitted to disclose user information when solely in receipt of a
   preservation request.




INTERNATIONAL LEGAL REQUESTS

 * For requests of user data other than EEA or UK user data: Discord Inc. is
   headquartered in the U.S. and subject to U.S. law which may prevent the
   production of certain information. Requests should be addressed to Discord
   Inc. Discord Inc. will respond to valid legal process issued by a U.S. court
   and properly served on it in the U.S. To achieve this, you will need to work
   through the applicable process for international legal assistance. See 28
   U.S.C. § 1782. For more information, you may wish to contact the Office of
   International Judicial Assistance at the U.S. Department of Justice.
   https://www.justice.gov/civil/evidence-requests. 
 * For requests of EEA or UK user data: Discord Netherlands BV is the data
   controller for users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.
   Requests for information should be addressed to Discord Netherlands BV and
   requested via the European Investigation Order under Directive 2014/14/41/EU
   where possible. Where not possible, requests for information should be
   directed through the appropriate Dutch authorities by way of other mutual
   legal assistance agreements.
 * Orders against illegal content under Article 10 of the EU Digital Services
   Act should be submitted through our Government Request Portal (Kodex) under
   the DSA - Illegal Takedown section: https://app.kodex.us/discord/signin
 * If international legal process includes reports of child exploitation,
   Discord will investigate and take steps to archive these materials, remove
   them from our platform, and report any exploitative content.




CHILD SAFETY POLICY

 * When we are made aware of potential Child Safety concerns on our platform,
   our Trust & Safety team reviews the content and reports the content to the
   National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) or law enforcement
   where appropriate as required by 18 U.S.C. § 2258A. NCMEC will then work with
   local and international law enforcement as necessary.
 * User accounts reported to NCMEC are archived and banned from our platform at
   the time of reporting.
 * When submitting legal processes prompted by NCMEC reporting, include cybertip
   number and all of the user information provided.
 * Law enforcement officials should indicate if a request pertains to a NCMEC
   report in the body of the email.




DATA RETENTION POLICY

 * Discord does not require and generally does not possess names, addresses or
   other personal information, as we do not require that information on sign-up.
   The subscriber information that we possess is limited to an email address,
   and, if the user is a paid user, we might have limited billing information.
   In certain circumstances, we might also have a phone number the user has
   verified.
 * Due to privacy concerns, Discord removes most user identifiers once a user is
   deleted, including username and discriminator.
 * Users can always be located by their 17-18 digit UID number.
 * More information regarding Discord's data retention and user privacy policy
   can be found here.
 * Questions regarding Discord's privacy policy can be sent to
   privacy@discord.com.




USER NOTIFICATION

It is our policy to notify Discord users and provide them with a copy of the
legal process seeking their account information. We do not provide notice if we
are prohibited by law or under exceptional circumstances such as child sexual
exploitation investigations or threat to life emergencies. We ask that your
non-disclosure order (18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)) or similar legal authority include a
time limitation, as we provide delayed notice upon expiration of this limitation
and when we believe the exceptional circumstance no longer exists. If no
non-disclosure provision or exception is included with your legal request,
Discord will confirm with law enforcement before providing user notice. In order
to expedite your legal request for account information, we ask that you include
or inform us initially of one of the following:

 * Clearly state you have no objection to Discord providing user notice.
 * Include a time limited non-disclosure order (18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)) or similar
   legal provision with your legal request.
 * Provide us with details on why an exceptional circumstance exists (e.g.,
   child sexual exploitation, threat to life emergency) in providing user
   notice.

Note:

Discord reserves the right to not notify users if doing so would pose a risk to
Discord or its users general welfare.

If your data request places Discord on notice of an ongoing or prior violation
of our Terms of Service, Community Guidelines or other policies, we may take
action to prevent further abuse, including account termination and other actions
that may notify the user that we are aware of their misconduct.




COST REIMBURSEMENT

 * Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2706, Discord may require cost reimbursement if the
   legal process is unduly burdensome or has associated cost.

‍




‎EU CONTACT POINTS

 * Under EU Regulation 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), Discord’s Article 11
   contact point is our Government Request Portal (Kodex):
   https://app.kodex.us/discord/signin. English or Dutch may be used to
   communicate through our contact point.
