Telegram bot privacy for VibeGuard groups

VibeGuard is Telegram-first and group-scoped. The Telegram group is the main workspace, and group-owned records stay tied to that group.

That means one group’s safety rules, member profiles, moderation state, recaps, AI usage, music settings, relationship data, and Mini App context should not become another group’s setup by accident.

For admins, this matters because different communities need different privacy and safety expectations. A public crypto group may run strict moderation and threat review. A private creator community may use recaps and profiles. A marketplace may focus on posting rules and scam reports.

The common rule is simple: keep the data scoped to the Telegram group, and make admin-controlled features explicit.

VibeGuard can only perform Telegram actions that admins allow and that the bot has permission to perform.

Deleting spam requires delete-message rights. Muting, restricting, kicking, or banning members requires member restriction rights. Join request workflows require the relevant approval permissions. Invite-link actions require the proper Telegram admin rights.

You do not need to grant every permission on day one. Many groups start with a lighter setup, use audit mode, and add stronger permissions only when they are ready to enforce.

If an action fails, check permissions before assuming the rule is broken. Missing Telegram admin rights are one of the most common reasons moderation actions cannot run.

The VibeGuard Mini App gives admins and members a clearer interface for profiles, AI, recaps, settings, and Security Center workflows.

Mini App access should be tied to Telegram context. Sensitive admin surfaces should check that the user is authenticated through Telegram, belongs to the relevant group, and has the right admin or moderator access for the action they are trying to perform.

Browser clients should not receive Telegram bot tokens or internal service secrets. Bot tokens and privileged Telegram API calls belong on trusted backend services, not in public web pages.

For admins, the practical result is straightforward: open the right group, confirm your access, and use Security Center to review settings, permissions, incidents, cases, and diagnostics.

VibeGuard should support deletion of group-owned data through an authorized admin or operator path.

A deletion flow should focus on data owned by the Telegram group, such as group configuration, profiles, moderation state, recap history, AI usage, music settings, relationship data, and Mini App context where applicable.

Some records may need a documented lifecycle. Audit logs may be preserved only when required by policy and documented. External artifacts, such as generated images, voice recap files, or other stored media, should either be deletable or clearly documented if managed by a separate lifecycle.

For legal policy language, use the privacy policy. For operational group cleanup, use the data deletion guide.

Safety tools are more trustworthy when admins can understand what happened.

VibeGuard moderation and safety actions should create enough audit context for admin review: what rule matched, what action was allowed, what Telegram permission was required, what failed, and whether a case or appeal path exists.

This is especially important for warnings, mutes, bans, kicks, purges, raid incidents, threat entries, join decisions, and false-positive review.

Audit logs are not an excuse to keep unnecessary message content forever. The goal is useful review, not excessive data collection.

VibeGuard includes AI help, AI recaps, group memory, optional voice recaps, and AI image surfaces where enabled. AI usage should stay controlled.

Each group member can use up to 10 AI help/prompts for free. Paid expansion applies only when a group needs more AI attention, higher usage, advanced security, automation, or multi-group control.

AI responses should not be treated as automatic public group posts unless the group explicitly sets up that workflow. In normal usage, AI output stays controlled through the product experience so members or admins can review before sharing.

VibeGuard should also avoid logging unnecessary AI prompts or message content beyond operational need, keep model routing server-side, and respect group-level feature flags. If AI is disabled for a group, related AI surfaces should stay hidden or blocked.

Admins need a way to report abuse, suspicious behavior, or privacy concerns.

Use abuse reporting for spam networks, scam patterns, impersonation, harmful use, or policy concerns. Use moderation cases and appeals for group-level decisions that need review. Use data deletion paths when a group owner needs operational cleanup of group-owned records.

VibeGuard helps with safety workflows, but it should not be described as guaranteed protection, financial advice, legal advice, or a replacement for human moderation.
