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.
