Terms of Service
Effective May 19, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Ghostwire Discord bot
and the related website at https://security.girlsnetwork.dev (together, the "Service"). The
Service is operated for, and runs only in, the
Girls Discord server; it is
not a publicly installable bot. By interacting with Ghostwire in the
Girls server, or by authorising it through one of its OAuth flows, you
agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. What the Service does
Ghostwire is the private moderation bot of the Girls Discord server. It provides anti-raid heuristics, automated moderation (URL, attachment, and message scanning), structural backups of the server, opt-in member recovery via Discord OAuth, creator-role verification via Twitch and YouTube OAuth, watchlists, mod notes, and related utilities used by the Girls moderation team. The server-backup component is open source and published at https://github.com/Girls-Network/ServerBackup; the rest of the bot's source is private.
2. Eligibility
You must meet Discord's own minimum age requirement for your country (generally 13, or higher where local law requires) to use Discord and therefore to interact with the Service. The Service is intended for members and moderators of the Girls server. It is not directed at children under 13.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service to violate Discord's Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, or Developer Policy.
- Attempt to bypass, disable, or interfere with the Service's moderation, rate-limiting, or anti-abuse features.
- Attempt to access data belonging to other users that you are not authorised to access.
- Use the Service to harass, dox, threaten, or harm other people, or to facilitate illegal activity.
- Reverse engineer, probe, or stress-test the Service in ways that disrupt it for other Girls members.
We may, at our discretion, restrict your access to the Service or remove you from the Girls server for violations of these Terms.
4. Operator responsibilities
Ghostwire is operated by the moderators of the Girls server, who act as the data controllers for the moderation actions the bot supports. We are responsible for:
- Making the existence and behaviour of the bot discoverable to Girls members via this site and in-server announcements.
- Configuring the bot's permissions and features in a way that complies with Discord's policies and applicable law.
- The accuracy of moderation actions we take using data the bot surfaces (watchlists, mod notes, etc.).
- Promptly handling deletion and access requests submitted through the routes described in the Privacy Policy.
5. OAuth flows (backup & creator verification)
Ghostwire offers optional flows that ask you to authorise the Service through
Discord, Twitch, or Google (YouTube). These flows are opt-in. What we store and for
how long is described in the Privacy Policy. You may revoke
consent at any time using the /backup gdpr-clear command in the Girls
server, which deletes your stored backup data, activity rank levels, and any
alt-account links referencing you.
6. No warranty
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Ghostwire is a moderation aid — it does not replace human moderators, and we do not guarantee that it will detect or prevent any specific attack, raid, or policy violation.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither Ghostwire, its operators, nor its contributors will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, goodwill, or profits, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
8. Changes to the Service
The Service is under active development. Features may be added, changed, or removed at any time. We may update these Terms; when we do, we will update the "Effective" date above. Material changes will be communicated in the project repository. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
9. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time by leaving the Girls server,
and (where applicable) by running /backup gdpr-clear first so we also
delete the data the bot stored about you. We may suspend or terminate your access to the
Service for violations of these Terms or for operational reasons.
10. Contact
Questions, complaints, or legal notices regarding these Terms should be sent to [email protected].
