Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. Overview

HiveLog is built on a simple principle: your beekeeping records are private and yours. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how you stay in control.

2. Information We Collect

  • Account information — your name and email address, used to create and secure your account.
  • Records you enter — apiaries, hives, inspections, queens, feeding, treatments, harvests, equipment, expenses and sales data that you choose to log.
  • Technical data — basic server logs such as IP address, browser type and timestamps, used to keep the Service secure and functioning.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide, maintain and improve the Service.
  • To keep your account secure and to respond to support requests.
  • To understand aggregate usage so we can make the product better.

We do not use your records for advertising, and we do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

4. Cookies

We use a single session cookie to keep you logged in. It is required for the Service to function. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on our servers with access limited to authorized personnel. We use industry-standard safeguards, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and password hashing. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information to the best of our ability.

6. Data Sharing

We do not share your personal information with third parties except: (a) with service providers who help operate the Service under strict confidentiality obligations, or (b) where required by law, such as a valid legal request or to protect our rights.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

You can export or delete your records at any time. If you delete your account, we delete your personal information and records from our systems within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, export or delete your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Service. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
