Privacy, in plain words.
Updated 17 September 2026
This notice covers the BotBento public website, its early-access email list and messages you send us. The BotBento application is in development; this notice does not describe future app or connected-provider data practices.
Who to contact
BotBento operates this website. For privacy questions, requests to access or correct your signup information, or removal from the list, email privacy@botbento.com or use our contact form.
When you join early access
We collect the email address you enter and your agreement to receive early-access and product emails. We use this information to maintain the list and send related updates and invitations. Signup records may include the time of signup and consent so we can administer the list.
Joining puts your address on the update list straight away, with no confirmation link to click, because the consent checkbox on the form is the record of your agreement. We send a short welcome email, then updates while we build and an invitation when access opens. Every one of those emails carries an unsubscribe link.
Joining the list does not create an app account. You can withdraw your email consent at any time by using an unsubscribe option in our emails or contacting us. We may retain a minimal record of an unsubscribe request to avoid adding you back to future mailings.
When you subscribe to the newsletter
The weekly newsletter has a separate signup from early access. We store your email address, your consent and subscription status. We send a confirmation request and activate the subscription only after you confirm. You can unsubscribe using the link in each newsletter or request help through our contact form.
We use an email delivery provider to send early-access updates, newsletter confirmations and newsletter issues. That provider processes your email address, message content and delivery information for that purpose. Delivery records, including bounces and unsubscribe requests, help us maintain the list and stop messages when appropriate. Email open and click tracking are disabled for these messages.
When you suggest a plugin or a bot
The plugins and bots directories each have a suggestion form. We store what you suggested, any link you added, the email address you entered, your consent and the submission time, so we can follow the suggestion up with you.
Sending a suggestion does not add you to the early-access list and does not publish anything. Nothing appears in a directory without a person reading it first, and we will not put your email address on a public page.
When you contact us
We receive the name (if provided), email address and message you enter in the contact form, along with your consent and submission time. Messages are saved in our support inbox. We use this information to handle your request and can reply using the email address you provide. Please avoid sending sensitive information or account secrets.
If you email us directly, Cloudflare Email Routing forwards your message to our team inbox hosted by Hostinger. Those providers process your email address, message and delivery information to deliver and protect the correspondence. We use it to handle your request.
Running and protecting the website
Our hosting, DNS and security providers process technical information needed to deliver and protect the website. This can include IP addresses, requested URLs, browser information, timestamps and security events. Signup requests may be checked or limited to prevent spam and abuse.
Optional analytics
When optional analytics is configured, we ask before loading it. If you allow it, we use Umami to understand website visits, including pages viewed, referring sites, browser and device categories, and approximate location. Technical request information, including an IP address, reaches the analytics service as part of receiving the request.
We do not intentionally send your signup email address or form contents to analytics. Your analytics choice is stored in your browser’s local storage. You can change it through “Analytics preferences” in the footer when analytics is available. Declining analytics does not affect signup or access to the website. Browser extensions or privacy settings can also prevent analytics from loading.
Service providers
We use infrastructure and service providers to host and protect the site, store and deliver email, and operate optional analytics. Information needed for those functions may be processed by those providers. Infrastructure can be located in countries other than your own. We do not sell the early-access list.
How long we keep information
We keep early-access information while it is needed for the list and its purpose. You can request removal at any time. Support correspondence and technical logs may be retained as needed to respond to requests, investigate problems and maintain security. Some information may remain temporarily in backups or where retention is required.
Your choices
You can ask us to access, correct or delete information you provided. Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights. We may need to verify that a request comes from the person associated with the information. For signup requests, use the address associated with your signup in the contact form.
Changes to this notice
We will update this page when the website’s data practices change. Before app access opens, we will publish information that reflects the application and any connected services.
