Standard Bot Privacy Policy

As previously announced, all Bots and Mini Apps must provide a Privacy Policy detailing how they handle user data.

To facilitate this process, we published a Standard Privacy Policy which applies by default to all Bots and Mini Apps that don't have their own. This policy broadly covers the data handling practices of most apps on Telegram, simplifying compliance for developers and adding transparency for users.

Alternatively, you can now set up your own Privacy Policy directly on @BotFather – allowing users to access it from a dedicated button in your Mini App's settings menu.

Please ensure our Standard Policy suits your needs – and publish your own via @BotFather if it does not.

For more details, please reference Section 4 of the Bot Developer Terms.

Standard Privacy Policy for bots

In early July, all bots and mini apps were required to provide a Privacy Policy detailing how they handle user data.

Yesterday, Telegram published a Standard Privacy Policy which applies by default to all bots and mini apps that don't have their own. This Policy broadly covers the data handling practices of most apps on Telegram, simplifying compliance for developers and adding transparency for users.

Additionally, developers can now set their own Privacy Policy directly within @BotFather bot. This Policy will be available to users through a special button in the settings menu of their mini apps.

More information can be found in Section 4 of the Bot Developer Terms.

The Default Lifetime of New Accounts Has Been Increased to 1½ years

Our subscribers report that some accounts created in 2022 or later have the default privacy setting "Delete my account if away for" set to «548» days, or a year and a half.

Changing this setting still prevents users from specifying a value greater than a year.

For older accounts, nothing has changed.

The @tginfo editorial team has no information about the date from which the auto-deletion period for new accounts is one and a half years, or whether owners of new or old accounts will be able to set such a period in their settings in the future. In addition, we do not know whether this change affects all new accounts.

Let us remind you that previously the default period for automatic account deletion due to inactivity was 6 months.
