What Is Discord?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Discord is a real-time chat and voice platform used by friends, gaming communities, fan groups, classrooms, and professional teams. It\u2019s free to use, with optional Nitro upgrades<\/a> and platform-run promotions such as Quests (rewarded ads). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discord recently increased investment in sponsored content and expanded Video Quests to mobile, while keeping controls to hide promotions and opt-out options. However, there are ways you can stop these promotions and opt out of the platform easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Discord Get Information?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Discord collects account-level data, including your email, device details, and in-app activity signals. This information is used to operate the service, recommend content, and personalize sponsored features like Quests, with your consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can manage how your data is used for personalization in the Data & Privacy section under Privacy & Safety settings. Turning off these options will stop personalized recommendations. You may still see promotions, but they won\u2019t be based on your activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro Tip:<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>You can manually adjust these settings anytime, or save time by using Privacy365 to bundle your Discord opt-out with data removals from other services in one simple request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why You Should Learn How to Delete Your Data on Discord<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Opting out lets you keep using Discord while reducing risk and unwanted promotions. By emailing Discord to opt out of arbitration, you retain the right to sue or join a class action instead of being limited to private arbitration. Discord explicitly allows this and states you won\u2019t be penalized for opting out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning off personalization prevents Discord from using your data or third-party data for targeted ads like Quests. You may still see promotions, but they won\u2019t be tailored to you. It\u2019s also a good idea to cancel Nitro to stop future billing while keeping your account active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discord occasionally runs experiments without a universal opt-out option. You can reduce your exposure by turning off personalization, declining Quest invitations, and avoiding optional beta programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
