Introduction

We are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognize the need to protect and manage any personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") you share with us.

HiveSight stores your usage history of our website. That includes the information that you entered (such as search queries and login information), information that is supplied by your web browser such as Internet domain and host names, Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser software and operating system types, clickstream patterns, and dates and times that our Platform is accessed Some information is stored by us in a personally identifiable manner, i.e., it is tied to your user account. Other general information is stored on site that is not tied to any specific user.
