Privacy Policy

What We Store

• Shared Content: The text you submit is stored in our data store until it expires. Content is not indexed for search engines.
• Expiry Metadata: Each share has a creation timestamp and an expiration time (1 day, 1 week, 1 month, or 3 months).
• Operational Logs: We may store basic logs (timestamps, request IDs, rate-limit counters) to maintain reliability and prevent abuse.
• Shortened URLs: URL shortener records include the original URL, short ID, creation time, and click count.

What We Don't Collect

• No passwords or traditional account data.
• No tracking pixels, invasive analytics, or behavioral profiling.
• No sale of personal data.
• No storage of wallet private keys. Wallet connections are read-only, used only to check your $HSHARE balance for gated tiers.

Content Is Not Encrypted

Shared content is stored as plain text in our database, not encrypted at the application layer. Anyone with the share link can view it until it expires. Do not share secrets, credentials, or sensitive personal data through HoodShare.

Content Responsibility

HoodShare is a conduit for user-submitted content. We are not responsible for the contents of shared links. If you encounter illegal or inappropriate material, use the report mechanism on the share page so we can review and act accordingly.

Third-Party Services

We use infrastructure providers including Vercel (hosting), Upstash/Redis (share storage), UploadThing (media uploads), and an RPC provider for RobinHood Chain balance checks. These providers may process IP addresses and request metadata as part of normal operation.

Data Retention

Shares are automatically removed when they expire, based on the TTL you selected at creation (1 day to 90 days). Operational logs and rate-limit counters are short-lived. We reserve the right to remove content earlier if it violates our terms or applicable law.

Security

We take reasonable measures to safeguard stored content, including encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest on our storage provider. However, no system is perfectly secure, and content is not end-to-end encrypted. Do not share secrets, private keys, or sensitive credentials.

Your Choices

• Do not share sensitive or personally identifiable information.
• Use shorter expiration times for content that should not persist.
• Be mindful that anyone with the link can view a share while it's active.
