Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons via Google Analytics) to access or store information. We only use cookie technology to improve visitors’ online experience and Website content and functionality. 

The Company informs the User that Hivebrite, as well as its subcontractors, uses a tracking technology on its terminal such as cookies whenever the User navigates on the Community Platform. A cookie is a message that, subject to the User settings, is sent to its terminal when the User navigates on a website. The aim is to collect data regarding the internet navigation of the User to send tailor-made services to its terminal (computer, mobile phone or tablet). 

Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies, and/or you may wish to install Google Analytics’ Opt-Out add-on.

We keep your personal information for as long as is necessary for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). We have implemented appropriate security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we collect and/or store. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.

Accessing Your Information

Submitting personal information through any form on the Website does not automatically create a user account, meaning you cannot access information you have submitted directly to us through this Website.

When the User creates an account on the Community Platform, that data is saved to the HiveBrite system, some of which is accessible to the User for editing through your User Profile; some of which is only accessible by Community Platform Administrators. 

If you would like at any time to review or update your information or remove your information from our database and/ or Community Platform, please email us at  [email protected] 

Collecting Information from Minors

Because our Website and its Services are aimed primarily at youth aged 10 through 23 (informally capped 8-25), we strongly encourage parents/ guardians to oversee any and all use of the Internet, including this Website, by their child.

When we intend to collect and use personal information from minors, we take the following steps to protect children’s privacy, including:

• Notifying parents/ guardians about our information practices with regard to children, including the types of personal information we may collect from children, the uses to which we may put that information, and whether and with whom we share that information;

• Obtaining consent from parents/ guardians for the collection of personal information from their children, for the use of personal information from their children, and/ or for sending information about our Services directly to their children.

• Limiting our collection of personal information from children to no more than is reasonably necessary to participate in our Services; and

• Giving parents/ guardians the ability to request access to personal information we have collected from their children and the ability to request that the personal information be reviewed, updated, or deleted.

• Identifying minors publicly only by First Name, Last Initial and City/ Country so as not to reveal specific identifying information
