Security & privacy

Permissions and why

• Read messages / message history — to see what to translate.
• Send messages, manage webhooks — translations are posted through webhooks so they appear as the original speaker.
• Manage messages — only for stealth mode (deleting the original after translating) and delete sync.
• Add reactions — reaction mirroring on routed messages.
• Use application commands — slash commands.

The bot is server-scoped: it can only read channels it has been given access to.

What is stored

• Translations (source text, translated text, languages, server, channel, message id) for 30 days, so replies can be quoted and stats shown. Then deleted automatically.
• The links between an original message and its routed copies, for 30 days (powers delete sync and reply quoting).
• Per-member settings: your chosen language per server and monthly counters.
• Anonymous usage events for product analytics.

What Talksy never does

• It never sends translations by DM and never posts your message content in bot embeds.
• It never translates a member’s messages inline unless that member opted in with /talksy.
• It doesn’t sell data. Translation is performed by our AI translation provider under our terms.
