Privacy Policy

Effective date: February 1, 2025 · Last updated: February 1, 2025

Overview

Luhive ("we," "us," or "our") is a community management platform that helps organizers and members connect, coordinate events, and build meaningful communities. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform at luhive.com and any related services. By using Luhive, you agree to the terms described here.

We do not sell your personal data. Ever. Your data exists to power your experience on Luhive — nothing else.

  • Full name and display name
  • Email address
  • Profile avatar and biography

Information from third parties

When you sign in using a third-party service (such as Google), we receive basic profile information as permitted by that service and your privacy settings there.

Google OAuth Data

Luhive uses Google OAuth 2.0 to allow you to sign in quickly and securely using your Google account. When you choose to authenticate via Google, we request only the minimum permissions necessary to create and maintain your Luhive account.

Data we receive from Google

  • Your name (as registered with Google)
  • Your email address associated with your Google account

Luhive's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Revoking Google access

You can revoke Luhive's access to your Google account at any time by visiting myaccount.google.com/permissions. Revoking access will not delete your Luhive account or data; you may still log in with email and password if configured.

How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect to:

  • Create and manage your Luhive account and profile
  • Enable community creation, membership, and event management
  • Send you relevant notifications about communities and events you follow
  • Personalize your feed and recommendations using AI
  • Power gamification features (points, badges, leaderboards)
  • Provide organizers with anonymized analytics about their communities
  • Improve, debug, and develop new platform features
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

AI and personalization

Luhive uses artificial intelligence to match users with relevant communities and events, generate content suggestions for organizers, and surface personalized notifications. AI models are trained on aggregated and anonymized platform data and are never used to make automated decisions that significantly affect your legal rights.

Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:

Service providers

We work with carefully selected third-party providers (hosting, authentication, analytics) who process data strictly on our behalf and under confidentiality agreements. These include:

  • Supabase — database hosting and authentication
  • Google — authentication (OAuth 2.0)
  • Email delivery and notification services

Community organizers

When you join a community, basic profile information (name, avatar) is visible to community admins and other members as part of normal platform functionality.

Legal requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Luhive, its users, or the public.

Business transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified via email before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on secure servers provided by Supabase, with data centers operating under strict security and compliance standards. We implement technical and organizational measures including encryption in transit (TLS), encryption at rest, role-based access controls, and regular security reviews.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time (see Your Rights below).
