Privacy Policy

1. Application hosting and service-provider questions

The application and database are hosted by OVHcloud in France. Account information and saved calculation history, when enabled, are processed on this infrastructure. Other providers, including Google Analytics, may process information in different countries.

To obtain information about our policies and practices concerning service providers outside Canada, or to ask about their collection, use, disclosure, or storage of personal information, contact the privacy contact for Code Hive Bee at support@codehivebee.com.

2. Account information

When you sign up, the application stores your name, generated username, email address, password hash, account status, and timestamps. It also stores your terms acceptance time, accepted terms version, and the privacy policy version presented at signup. Passwords are hashed rather than stored as readable passwords. Account information is used to authenticate you, operate your account, apply your preferences, and address security or support needs.

3. Calculations and optional history

Calculators and formatting tools process their inputs in your browser. For new public signups, saved history is off unless you select it. If you enable history, completed operations can send their tool name, equation or operation, input values, results, units, source page, language, and time to the application database, associated with your account. This includes text or JSON you process with these tools.

You can activate or deactivate history in Configuration. Deactivation stops new records and retains existing records. History is available only through authenticated access scoped to its owner. Avoid entering confidential or personal information you are not authorized to store. Older accounts retain their existing history preference until changed.

4. Browser storage and technical information

Authentication tokens are stored in browser cookies and local storage to keep you signed in. The browser also stores your theme, language, analytics preference, and temporary dismissal of the free-account invitation. Cookies and local storage are described on the Cookies & Analytics page.

Serving a request necessarily involves network information such as IP address and browser headers. Hosting infrastructure and security logs may process this information for delivery and protection of the service. Do not include secrets or personal information in search terms or URLs.

5. Optional analytics and service providers

Google Analytics runs by default on public pages unless you disable it in Cookie preferences. There is no first-visit permission banner. Existing unexpired opt-outs are respected. The application's manual page-view events measure public pages, including converter, formula, signup, policy, and search pages. Search visits use a generic page identity without search text or URL query strings. Tool-view and completed-action events include only catalog tool names, types, groups, and action labels, not entered values or results. Successful signup events identify the email signup method, not the person's name or email. Account pages are excluded. When the browser provides a referral source, external referring sites are identified by their origin only, without their page paths or query strings. Later page views use the previous measured public page. Analytics can involve browser, device, network, cookie identifiers, and usage information processed by Google. Advertising storage, ad personalization, and Google signals are disabled by this integration. Microsoft Clarity session recording is disabled in this version.

Application hosting, database infrastructure, and any optional analytics provider process information to deliver their services. Provider processing can involve countries different from your own. A consent choice does not override applicable legal restrictions on processing or transfers. The application and database hosting arrangements are described in the hosting section of this policy. That hosting location does not mean all processing by Google or other providers takes place in the same country. OVHcloud VM backups and snapshots are not enabled. This does not establish the retention of separate provider operational records; contact the privacy contact for questions about provider practices.

6. Retention and deletion

The application does not currently apply an automatic expiry to account data or saved calculations. This describes the current storage behavior and is not a promise of permanent storage. These remain in the live application database until the account is deleted, records are otherwise removed, or a lawful retention obligation requires different treatment. Deleting your profile removes its authentication tokens and saved calculation history from the live database.

Deleting a live record does not necessarily remove copies immediately from infrastructure logs or provider systems. Application-managed technical logs are scheduled for daily cleanup once older than 365 days. Separate web-server, VM, container, and provider operational logs require their own retention configuration; this application does not control those systems. OVHcloud VM backups and snapshots are not enabled, and the operator has not established a backup and recovery plan. Recovery of lost account data or calculation history is not guaranteed. Any future backup process and its retention will be documented when established. Optional analytics data is subject to Google's processing and the analytics property's configured retention. Your browser analytics choice expires after 180 days; clearing browser storage can reset it earlier. Once the choice expires or is cleared, analytics is enabled again by default.

7. Your choices and requests

Use Profile to view or correct your account details, change your password, or delete your account. Use Configuration to control history and Cookie preferences to change your analytics choice. Refusing analytics or history does not prevent you from using the standard tools or creating a free account.

Contact the operator to request access, correction, deletion, or information about processing that is not available through the account controls. Rights and exceptions depend on applicable law; you can also contact the relevant privacy regulator. Do not send passwords or sensitive project material with a request.

8. Security and policy updates

Account authentication, password hashing, and owner-scoped history access are used to protect information. No website or transmission method can guarantee complete security. Use HTTPS and a unique password. Updates to this policy will be dated; material changes in collection or use may require further notice or consent.
