 Discord bot to give questionable elevator therapy
 
+## Privacy
+
+This bot does not persistently store any data except for the numerical
+IDs of each server it's in, and the numerical ID of the channel it
+creates for itself in each server.  It does not make use of any data
+except for the list of channels.  It does not read message
+contents. It only creates one channel for itself, and does not
+interact at all outside of that channel.
