Your privacy options

Community means respect. This includes respecting your personal information. We do need some details to deliver the best possible experience, but remember - it's your data, your rules.

Let's run through what we need and why:

Email address

Think of your email as the master key to your Hivenet account. It's unique to you and is how we identify you. Yes, we'll drop you an occasional email about our newest features or updates, but you can opt out at any time by unsubscribing through the email you received.

(Note: Important notifications about your account and other essential communications will still come through - as long as you're using a service by Hivenet.)

Name and Country

Just for invoicing purposes. You will be prompted to share this info with Stripe when you opt for one of our paid plans.

Location

We have this cool map feature that allows to show where our contributors are and position your device on the map. We only use an anonymized id of your account so no personal details will ever be shared with anyone.

Cookies

You are at the helm of your personal data. You can access and change it whenever you like, and we are here to help you if you are unable or don't know how to do so.

You can check our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy by clicking on one of the buttons below, but if for any reason you are not happy with how we approach privacy, you can close your Hivenet account under Account Settings -> 'Delete your Account'.

In case you decide to delete your account, rest assured we will permanently erase your data from our servers within 30 days.

You control your info

Browser settings allow you to manage your cookies. Check out AboutCookies.org to learn more. Disabling cookies might affect some of Hivenet's functions, so bear this in mind.

GDPR compliance and your rights

We fully comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which gives you greater control over your personal information
‍1. You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
2. If you find any information we have is incorrect or incomplete, you can ask us to update it.
3. You can request the deletion of your personal data, and we will remove it from our systems promptly.
4. You have the right to limit how we use your data.
5. You can ask for your data in a structured, commonly used format to transfer it to another service.
6. You can object to how we handle your data at any time.

‍If you’d like to exercise any of these rights, simply reach out to our support team at support@hivenet.com or send us a message through our chat and we’ll guide you through the process.

Your privacy is a promise we don't take lightly

These are all covered in our Privacy Policy below, but here are a few things you should also know:

1. We protect your data with encryption and regularly test our systems. If something goes wrong, we promise to notify you and the authorities within 72 hours.
2. Hivenet isn't meant for kids under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If we ever discover that we've accidentally collected a child's data, we'll delete it right away.
3. You might find links to other sites on our website; if you decide to explore them, make sure to check out their privacy policies, as we can't control their practices.

Our Privacy Policy might change from time to time, and if we make any significant updates, we'll let you know through a notice on our website and/or an email (if you are using our services)—so be sure to check back here to stay up to date!
