Privacy
Short version: the bot keeps only what it needs to run the daily limit. Nothing about users is ever shown publicly.
What the bot stores
- Your Telegram user ID.
- When you accepted the terms, and which version.
- The VINs (last 7 characters) you generate files for, and when.
- The time of your last generation (for the 1-minute pause).
- Your chosen language.
- Star ratings and messages you send with 💬 Feedback, and whether we already asked you for feedback. With feedback, the owner also sees your Telegram name and @username, so they can answer you.
Why
- To check you accepted the terms.
- To run the limits: 1 car per minute, 3 cars per day.
- To let you re-generate your own cars with /myvins.
- To read your feedback and answer you in the bot.
Feedback messages
About a day after you make files, the bot may ask once how it went. It asks at most once a month, and the 🔕 button stops it for good.
Who can see it
Only the bot owner. The public website and the bot's /stats show just two things: whether the bot is online and the total number of FSC files made. No user counts, Telegram IDs or VINs are ever shown publicly.
The data is kept in a private database (Supabase) that only the bot can read. It is never sold or shared.
