Agent Readiness is a derived signal — a synthesis of two existing cells (Access, Portability) plus one sourced factor (API access), not an independently measured grade. API access scale: Best (2) consumer-grantable API · Moderate (1) partial / encumbered · Restrictive (0) manual export only. What is Agent Readiness?

1Frictionstated
Self-serve but asynchronous: "You should receive your data packet within 30 days"; not instant.
Discord Privacy Policy · accessed Jun 2026 ↗
1Deletionstated
Self-serve account deletion permanently removes identifying info but Discord retains/anonymizes other data and continues to display content shared with other users.
Discord Privacy Policy · accessed Jun 2026 ↗
2Sells / sharesstated
Discord states "We don't sell your personal information ... not based on selling your personal information to third parties"; the policy makes no explicit GPC commitment.

1Trains AIstated
Discord uses automated / machine-learning systems on user data to power and improve services and safety; a settings opt-out ("Limit use of data to improve our services") exists.

1API access — feeds Agent Readiness, not the /12stated
Discord's OAuth2 supports refresh tokens and can read your profile, connections and server list, but no scope returns the content of your own direct messages (dm_channels.read is metadata-only and approval-gated), so full message history comes from the manual "Request Data" package.
Discord — OAuth2 · accessed Jun 2026 ↗
Discord offers a free structured JSON export and an explicit no-sale-of-data commitment, but asynchronous delivery, retained/displayed content after deletion, default ML use of data (with opt-out), and no explicit GPC commitment keep it mid-tier. Source-verified Jun 2026; all cells stated (read from published policy/support docs), none yet tested via live export.

How to request your data from Discord

  1. Go to https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004027692-Requesting-a-Copy-of-your-Data — Discord's data-request entry point.
  2. User Settings → Data & Privacy → Request Data.
  3. Expected wait: within 30 days — Discord's stated turnaround (we haven't independently timed a request yet).
  4. No self-serve option, or want a formal request? Contact Discord — Privacy: https://discord.com/privacy.

These steps reflect Discord's documented process as of Jun 2026. The wait time is the company's stated figure, not yet independently measured by us.
