How Hive handles account, usage, and local app data.
Last updated: October 2026. Hive ("we", "Apis") makes the Hive desktop app and the hivetools.pro website.
What we collect
- Account data: your email and account profile information when you sign up.
- Purchase data: Checkout is not open yet; no Hive purchases can currently be made through this site.
- Usage data: token and voice-session counters, so your daily quota is enforced on our side rather than only on your machine.
- Local data stays local: your chats, settings and transcripts live on your machine, not on our servers. They are not synced between your devices.
How we use it
To run your account, enforce quotas, provide product information, and improve Hive. We do not sell your data and we do not show ads.
Sharing
We use Supabase for account hosting, authentication and database services, and Google when you choose Google sign-in. Model requests are sent to the provider selected in the app. Payment processing is not active while checkout is closed.
Your rights
Email apis.new.world@gmail.com to ask for a copy, correction or deletion of your data at that address. Deleting your account removes your profile, quota and subscription rows; PayPal keeps its own transaction records.
Retention
We keep account and purchase records while your account exists and up to 3 years after, for fraud prevention and accounting. Anonymized usage stats may be kept longer.
