Discord collects your messages, activity, device data, and behavioural signals, and uses them for personalisation and sponsored content targeting — but it doesn't sell your data, encrypts voice and video end-to-end, and gives you genuine in-app controls over most processing. The biggest risks are public server content being used to train AI systems and third-party bots operating largely outside Discord's privacy guarantees.

Their own ad platform doesn't use data brokers or cross-app tracking. Private personal data isn't used to train Apple's AI models. The main caveats are health, fitness, and financial data collection, government ID in some cases, and personalised ads that exist but are easy to turn off.
