Privacy Policy

Beergress IGN is a small, independently run Telegram bot. This page explains what it stores about you, why, and how you can see or remove it. It's a plain description of actual behavior, not a formal legal document.

What is stored

Your Telegram account: Your numeric Telegram user id, used to recognize you across chats and groups.
Your IGN: Your Ingress In-Game Name, only if you choose to save one via /start or /edit. If you don't save one, your Telegram username (or first name) is used instead wherever a name is needed.
Groups: The id and title of any group the bot has been added to.
Meetups: Each meetup you organize or join: which group it's in, its location (if any), and the name (IGN or Telegram handle) recorded for each participant.

Why

All of it exists to run the bot's actual features: posting meetups, tracking who's joined, and showing the right name for you instead of a Telegram handle that might not match your IGN. Nothing is used for advertising, analytics, or shared with anyone outside of running the bot.

Who can see it

The organizer name and participant count for a meetup are visible to anyone in the group where it was posted — that's the point of the feature. Your saved IGN itself is never shown to anyone except through that same mechanism (it's what gets displayed as your name), and it's never posted anywhere on its own.

How long it's kept

There's no automatic expiry. A saved IGN and your meetup history stay until you remove them yourself. Using /delete clears your saved IGN and disconnects your Telegram account from every meetup you've ever joined or organized — the names already posted in groups stay as they were, but the bot can no longer tell they were you.

Your rights

Everything above is self-service, straight from a private chat with the bot:

/check: See your currently saved IGN and the meetups still linked to your account.
/edit: Change your saved IGN.
/delete: Remove your saved IGN and disconnect your account from your meetup history.
/useign <IGN>: Use a name for today's meetups without saving anything long-term.
