Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 15, 2026

Data Collected

Files you upload are sent to the Hive AI API for analysis purposes. The original full-resolution file is not retained after processing. However, a reduced-size thumbnail, analysis results, and forensic artifacts (such as ELA heatmaps and FFT spectrums for Pro users) are stored to enable result viewing. The content fingerprint (SHA-256 hash) is retained for caching purposes.

Data Stored

The email address you provide when creating an account, your analysis results, and subscription information are stored. We retain thumbnails, forensic artifacts (ELA, FFT images), and video files for Pro analysis result display. The content fingerprint (SHA-256 hash) and normalized analysis output are recorded for caching and history.

Cookies

On most of the site we use only essential cookies, for session management and user preferences.

The blog section is an exception. Those pages carry Google AdSense advertising, and third-party vendors including Google use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info. Pages outside the blog do not load advertising scripts at all.
