# Privacy

> Understand Illegalcord privacy-related plugins and limits.

Illegalcord includes privacy-oriented plugins and settings, but it cannot make Discord anonymous. Discord still receives the normal traffic needed for messages, voice, media, authentication, and account state.

## What to inspect

Search the Plugins tab for:

| Search term         | Why                                                                   |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Privacy`           | Shows plugins tagged for privacy-related behavior.                    |
| `SilentTyping`      | Controls your typing indicator behavior and related UI indicators.    |
| `WebRTC`            | Helps review browser or client leak-prevention behavior when present. |
| `Securecord`        | Shows bundled encryption-oriented plugins in this fork.               |
| `NoTypingAnimation` | Removes the CPU-intensive typing dots animation.                      |

## Practical privacy steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Read plugin source">
    Privacy plugins are security-sensitive. Review the source folder before enabling one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use local backups">
    Export settings from **Backup & Restore** before changing privacy-related plugins.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check plugin settings">
    Use the cog wheel on plugin cards to review defaults and scope.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Avoid untrusted forks">
    Build from source you control. Never run a plugin or binary that you cannot audit.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Limits

Illegalcord can change local client behavior and block or modify some client-side actions. It cannot:

* Hide your account from Discord's servers.
* Prevent Discord from processing messages you send.
* Guarantee anonymity.
* Make abusive automation safe or acceptable.
* Protect you from code you install without reviewing.

<Warning>
  Treat privacy plugins as local controls, not as a promise of anonymity. Use Discord and client mods at your own risk.
