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.

Just a quick note for the Privacy Policy, Data Processing Agreement and Cookie Policy: this EU law (GDPR) and is mandatory for all EU states. So its not specific to Germany.
