Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 5, 2026
1. Introduction
Hive is an execution layer for autonomous AI agents that safely interact with smart contracts, DeFi protocols, and DAOs using permissioned action graphs and on-chain verification.
This Privacy Policy describes how Hive collects, uses, and protects personal information when you use our services, website, and platform. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
2. Information We Collect
We collect limited information necessary to operate and improve Hive:
- Email addresses: When you join our waitlist, request early access, or subscribe to updates, we collect your email address to communicate with you about Hive.
- Basic usage data: We may collect basic analytics data about how you interact with our website, such as pages visited and time spent on the site. This helps us understand how to improve our services.
- Voluntary information: Any information you voluntarily provide when contacting us, participating in surveys, or providing feedback.
Important: Hive does not collect private keys, wallet credentials, or other sensitive cryptographic information. We do not have access to your wallet or funds.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate and improve the Hive platform and services
- Communicate with you about product updates, access notifications, and important information about Hive
- Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
- Maintain security, prevent abuse, and protect against fraudulent or unauthorized activity
- Analyze usage patterns to improve our website and services
4. On-Chain Data
When you use Hive to execute transactions on blockchain networks, it is important to understand that:
- Blockchain transactions are public: All transactions executed on public blockchains are visible to anyone who views the blockchain. This is a fundamental characteristic of public blockchain networks.
- Hive does not control blockchain data: We do not control, modify, or have the ability to hide public blockchain data. Once a transaction is recorded on-chain, it becomes part of the permanent, public record.
- Independent visibility: Your on-chain activity may be visible to others through blockchain explorers, analytics tools, and other services, independently of Hive.
Hive may display information about on-chain transactions that you or your agents have executed, but this information is derived from public blockchain data that is already accessible to anyone.
5. Cookies and Analytics
We may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Essential cookies: These are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled.
- Analytics cookies: We may use basic analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website. This helps us improve our services and user experience.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our services, such as email delivery services or analytics providers. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government regulation, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
When you request deletion of your information, we will delete it within a reasonable timeframe, except where we are required to retain it for legal or legitimate business purposes.
8. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encryption of data in transit and at rest where appropriate
- Access controls and authentication measures
- Regular security assessments and updates
- Secure hosting and infrastructure
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Rights
You have certain rights regarding your personal information, which may include:
- Access: You can request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction: You can request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
