Who sees the answers?

Everyone in the chat where you ask. In a private chat with the bot, that is just you.

What does the bot store?

Your time zone, if you set one. If you share your location, we only use it to work out your time zone and do not keep the location itself.

Can the bot read my group’s messages?

No. In groups it only sees commands sent to it, like /clock and /team.

Why doesn't it know my teammates' time zones?

Telegram does not share them. Each person sends /settz once, or you link a team board.

In a private chat, open the bot profile and tap Stop bot. In a group, remove the bot from the members list. The board link is deleted when the bot is removed.
