Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
HiveMind ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights as a user of the HiveMind mobile application.
1. Information We Collect
- Account information: When you sign up, we collect your name, email address, and username via Clerk, our authentication provider.
- Usage data: Cards you have read, categories you follow, predictions you vote on, comments you post, and your daily card count.
- Advertising: We serve non-personalised ads via Google AdMob. We do not use your device advertising identifier (IDFA) and do not track you across apps or websites.
- Subscription data: If you subscribe to HiveMind Premium, payment is handled entirely by Apple or Google. We do not store your payment card details.
- Device information: Basic device and operating system information used to provide a consistent app experience.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To provide, personalise, and improve the HiveMind feed
- To record your votes and show aggregated prediction results to the community
- To manage your account, streak, and subscription status
- To serve non-personalised advertisements to free-plan users
- To analyse usage patterns and improve the app experience
- To communicate service updates or changes to this policy
3. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:
- Clerk: authentication and user identity management
- Supabase: database and backend infrastructure
- Google AdMob: non-personalised advertising (free plan users only)
- RevenueCat: subscription lifecycle management
- Apple / Google: payment processing for in-app purchases
4. Advertising
Free plan users see non-personalised ads served by Google AdMob. We do not request or use your device advertising identifier. Ad content is determined by contextual signals only, not your personal profile. Premium subscribers see no ads.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with the third-party service providers listed above, and only to the extent necessary to deliver the app's functionality.
6. Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account remains active. Prediction votes and card history may be retained in anonymised, aggregated form after account deletion. You may request full deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.
7. Your Rights
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your personal data
- Cancel your subscription at any time via App Store or Google Play account settings
- Opt out of interest-based advertising via your device settings
8. Children's Privacy
HiveMind is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.
9. International Users
HiveMind is operated from Singapore. If you access the app from outside Singapore, your data may be transferred to and processed in Singapore or other jurisdictions. By using the app, you consent to this transfer.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via an in-app notice. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
