# Data Collection ## How We Collect Data Astro collects data once a user invokes the bot with a command; the data we collect is purely related to the command used. ## Why We Collect Data ### Prefixes Astro stores data for prefixes to be able to figure out what prefix to listen to in every single server it's in. ### Suggestions The data Astro collects for suggestions is used to find out how many suggestions a server has, to decide the outcome of a suggestion, as well as find the specific message we are looking for. We also store data so we're able to send logs to suggestion log channels as well as suggestion channels. We store role/member-related data whenever a role and or member is allowed to decide the outcome of a suggestion. ## What Data We Collect Astro collects message IDs, server IDs, channel IDs, role IDs, and member IDs for the further improvement of Astro. Any data that Astro stores are kept secure and safe within several walls set in place to deter anyone interested in stealing our data. ## Deletion Of Data If you would like all data linked to your account and or server to be deleted permanently please join our [Support Server](https://discord.gg/Q27U4pZ) and message anyone with the Management role stating that you would like your data deleted. They will then forward this to the Developer who will go into our database and delete any data linked with your account and or server. To verify that you are a server manager we will require you to invite us to your server. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
