Privacy Policy

Transparent data practices for Discord RPC Manager.

Quick Summary

All data is stored locally on your device — nothing is sent to external servers.
Your RPC profiles, settings, and logs never leave your machine.
The weather feature makes optional API calls only when you explicitly use it.
No ads, no analytics, no telemetry of any kind.

01 Local Data Storage

Discord RPC Manager stores all application data locally on your device. On Windows: %APPDATA%\Discord RPC Manager. In portable mode: next to the executable. This data is never transmitted externally:

RPC Profiles: Your custom Rich Presence configurations (titles, descriptions, images, buttons, timers, rotation settings).
Application Settings: Theme, language, auto-launch preference, notification settings.
Activity Logs: Recent connection events and errors, stored locally for troubleshooting.

02 Network Access

The application makes the following limited, user-initiated network requests:

Discord RPC (Local IPC)

Connects to Discord's local Rich Presence socket (named pipe on Windows, Unix socket on macOS/Linux — port 6463–6472). This is a local-only connection; no internet traffic is involved.

GitHub Releases API

The app periodically checks GitHub's public releases endpoint to notify you of available updates. No account or personal data is transmitted.

Discord Asset API (Optional)

When you enter a Discord application ID in the profile editor, the app may fetch that application's public assets (name, icon) from Discord's API to display a preview.

Steam API (Optional)

If Steam detection is active, the app reads your local Steam registry to identify the current game ID, then queries Steam's public API to retrieve the game name. No authentication or personal data is sent.

Weather API — wttr.in (Optional)

If you use the {weather:City} variable in a profile, the app queries wttr.in with the city name you specified to fetch current weather data. No personal information is included in the request.

03 System Access

To detect currently playing media, the app reads system-level media information using platform-native APIs: Windows Media Session (SMTC) on Windows, playerctl via MPRIS on Linux, and AppleScript on macOS. This data is used exclusively to populate your Rich Presence and is never stored or transmitted.
