Welcome to Hive ("we" or "Hive"). Your privacy is our top priority, and we are committed to safeguarding your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding the collection, use, and sharing of information on our website ("Site") and through our services ("Services"). By accessing our Site, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy. We may update this policy from time to time, and any changes will become effective upon posting. Please review this policy regularly to stay informed. Last updated: January 7, 2025.
Hive is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to use or access the Site or Services.
We automatically collect information about your interactions with the Site and Services, such as device type, IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, pages viewed, and ads clicked. Cookies may be used to enhance your experience, but you can disable them in your browser settings.
When creating a profile, we may collect your username, email address, birthdate, gender, and other information you choose to provide. If certain information is not provided, we may not be able to create your profile. Photos you upload (including private photos) may reveal your identity and can be accessed by authorized users.
We may also obtain information from third-party sources, such as linked accounts like Facebook, subject to your privacy settings on those platforms.
We use Non-PII to personalize your experience, make your profile searchable, and deliver relevant advertisements. Non-PII may be shared with third parties, including advertisers and consultants, for research and service improvement.
Your credit card information is processed through third-party services (e.g., Apple iTunes or Google Play), and their privacy policies govern the use of your PII. We do not share PII with advertisers, even if you click on ads displayed on the Site.
Hive may display third-party advertisements. Clicking on these ads may redirect you to other websites that are not under our privacy control. We may also access certain information from social sites (like Facebook) based on your privacy settings on those platforms. We encourage you to review and adjust these settings as necessary.
We may disclose your PII if required by law, court order, or to protect the safety and property of our users or the public. This includes scenarios where false information is provided or identity impersonation occurs.
In the event of a sale, merger, or other business transformation, PII may be transferred as part of the business assets.
Hive respects "Do Not Track" ("DNT") signals. You can configure your browser to indicate that you do not want certain information collected about you.
We retain your information as long as your profile is active or hidden. If your account remains inactive for over 24 months, your PII will be deleted unless retention is required for legal or backup purposes.
Hive does not send unsolicited emails. You can opt out of emails at any time. If you receive unsolicited emails purporting to be from us, please report them immediately.
While we generally do not monitor private communications, we reserve the right to do so if policy violations are suspected. Publicly submitted content is subject to review, and inappropriate content may be removed.
We employ industry-standard practices to protect your PII, including encryption and firewalls. However, due to the inherent uncertainties of the internet, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You control your PII and can request access, correction, or deletion by editing your profile or contacting us at [email protected].
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal information, please contact us at [email protected].
We are dedicated to protecting your privacy and ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience on Hive. Please review our Privacy Policy regularly for updates and changes. Your trust is important to us, and we strive to maintain the highest standards in privacy and security.
