Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to the Yorkshire Chat Discord server! This community is dedicated to connecting people across Yorkshire through discussion, events, and shared interests. By joining or interacting with the server, you agree to these Terms of Service.

These Terms outline the rules, responsibilities, and expectations for all members to ensure a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable experience.

Server Use

Yorkshire Chat is intended for community engagement and social interaction. Members are expected to:

• Be respectful to all other members.
• Avoid harassment, hate speech, or offensive content.
• Refrain from sharing illegal or pirated material.
• Follow Discord's Community Guidelines in addition to these Terms.

The server administrators reserve the right to moderate content and enforce rules, including muting, kicking, or banning members who violate these Terms.

Data Collection

Yorkshire Chat collects no personal information from members, except for basic Discord analytics used to monitor server activity (e.g., number of active users). No messages, voice chats, or personal data are stored or tracked by the server outside of Discord’s standard functionality.

Third-Party Services

The server does not rely on external analytics platforms, advertising services, or third-party software that collects member data. All interactions occur within Discord’s platform.

Content Responsibility

All content shared by members—messages, images, links, or other media—is the responsibility of the member who posted it. The server administrators are not liable for member-generated content.

Prohibited Conduct

Members must not:

• Engage in illegal activity.
• Share harmful, abusive, or explicit content in violation of Discord rules.
• Attempt to hack or exploit server settings or Discord infrastructure.

Repeated violations may result in removal from the server.

User Rights

Members retain full control over their own data shared on Discord. They may delete their messages, leave the server, or adjust Discord privacy settings at any time.

Server Safety for All Ages

The server is intended for general community discussion. While the server does not actively collect personal data, members are responsible for sharing appropriate content. Parents and guardians should supervise younger users.

Changes to These Terms

Yorkshire Chat may update these Terms of Service to reflect changes in server policy, Discord features, or legal requirements. The effective date at the top indicates the current version. Members are encouraged to review these Terms periodically.

Contact Information

Questions, concerns, or feedback regarding these Terms can be submitted via Discord direct message to the server administrators or by email at [email protected].
