‍Privacy Policy

Insightly Analytics, Inc. (accessible via the website www.hivel.ai), referred to as Hivel, is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) sets out how we collect and process personal information about you when you visit our website Hivel, when you use our products and services (our “Services”), or when you otherwise do business or make contact with us.

Please read this policy carefully to understand how we handle and treat your personal information.

What information do we collect?

Hivel collects data to enable us to operate the Services effectively, and to provide you with the best experiences on our website and our Services. You provide some of this data to us directly, such as when you register to use our Services, subscribe to a newsletter, respond to a survey, make an inquiry through our website, contact us for support, or contact us as a prospective customer, vendor, supplier, or consultant. We get some of your data by recording how you interact with our website and our Services by, for example, using technologies like cookies. We also obtain and process data in the context of providing the Services.

The data we collect depends on the context of your interactions with Hivel, he choices you make (including your privacy settings), and the Services you use. The data we collect can include the following:

• Name and contact information. We may collect your first and last name, email address, password, social logins, phone number, company information, and other similar contact data.
• Payment information. When you make purchases on our website, a secure window will be opened directly to our payment provider (currently, Stripe), and any payment information that you provide is sent directly to the payment provider. We have no access to that information.
• Customer information. When you subscribe to our service, we collect metadata about your team’s activity from version control systems (ex: GitHub, BitBucket, Gitlab etc.) you integrate. Our systems may access the code to generate data from the ephemeral instance and then discard all the code. We store the metadata that’s available from Bitbucket to allow us to create the dashboards and generate insights. As part of the metadata, we have access to the users and repositories in the workspaces that are accessible through your primary account. All information such as names, email addresses, are encrypted using AES-128 bit encryption.
• Device and Usage information. We may collect data about your device and how you and your device interact with Hivel and our Services. We use Google Analytics to track your usage and provide better experience.
• When you visit or log in to our website, cookies  and similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate these activities with other personal information they or others have about you, including by association with your email or home address.  We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these email or home addresses.  You may opt out of receiving this advertising by visiting https://app.retention.com/optout
• Hivel app respects your privacy and complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy. We limit the use of data from Google APIs to enhancing user-facing features, as outlined in the policy. We don’t transfer or sell your data. For details, see Google API Services User Data Policy.

Examples of such uses include the following:

Communications

We use data we collect to communicate with you, and to personalize our communications with you. For example, we may contact you to inform you when your subscription is ending, to discuss your account, to let you know when updates are available, to remind you about features of the Services that are available for your use, to update you about a support request, or to invite you to participate in a survey.

How do we protect your information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. We use Stripe for accepting payments and managing subscriptions.

Your data is secure, and available

We implement a variety of measures to ensure that our processing systems remain confidential, resilient, and available. Specifically, we have implemented processes to help ensure high availability, business continuity, and prompt disaster recovery. We commit to maintaining strong physical and logical access controls, and conduct regular penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

Business Continuity. We keep encrypted backups of data every hour in multiple regions on Amazon Web Services. While never expected, in the case of production data loss (i.e., primary data stores loss), we will restore organizational data from these backups.

Penetration Testing. We engage an independent, third-party agency to perform black box penetration testing on a regular basis. Information about security vulnerabilities that are successfully exploited through penetration testing is then used to set mitigation and remediation priorities. All medium and high vulnerability issues are identified and resolved as early as possible.

Do we use cookies?

Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service providers systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.
