Does a FOSS App need TOS and Privacy Policy? (feddit.de)

I'm currently working on a FOSS Discord bot. When I host an official instance of said bot, do I need a TOS and or Privacy Policy, or is a link to the license (in my case GPLv3) enough?

I live in Germany, if that makes a difference.

Thank you. This is very helpfull.

I think I'll have to sleep on this one.

It sucks that I have to dox myself in order to provide a free service, where I don't receive any economic benefits. It doesn't seem fair.
