Privacy policy
Welcome to Hint. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our platform and website.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Personal Information
We collect personal information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, and company details, when you register for an account, request early access, or contact us.
1.2 Connected Data Sources
When you connect a website or domain to Hint, we access AI visibility data — including citations, mentions, brand positions, and related GEO metrics — solely to power the dashboards, alerts, and AI recommendations you've requested. We do not access data beyond what's needed to provide these features.

3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or trade your personal information or GEO data. We may share information with trusted third-party service providers (such as hosting, database, or AI-model providers) strictly to operate the platform, and only to the extent necessary for them to perform that function. These providers are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in and to understand how the platform is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may limit certain features.
5. Your Choices
You can update your account details, disconnect any connected domains, or unsubscribe from communications at any time. You may also contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information.
6. Security
We take security seriously. All data transmitted to and from Hint is encrypted in transit (HTTPS), and data stored in our systems — including connected account credentials and GEO data — is encrypted at rest. Access to your account is protected through secure authentication. That said, no method of transmission or storage is completely immune to risk, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the platform. If you disconnect a domain or close your account, we will delete or anonymize the associated data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We'll post the revised version on this page, and continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
