Your trust matters. Here’s how we handle your data.

ExploreHub is built with transparency at its core. We collect the minimum information needed to run the platform, secure your account, and evolve our curated library. This policy explains what data we gather, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Account information

When you register we store your email, hashed password, and optional profile preferences securely.

Usage analytics

We use privacy-friendly analytics to measure page views, search performance, and feature adoption. No cross-site tracking.

Link submissions

Links shared through suggestion forms are reviewed by our curation team and retained for auditing.

How we use information

Delivering the service

We process your data so you can browse categories, save favorites, and receive recommendations.

Improving discovery

Aggregated analytics help us spot broken links, uncover new topics, and optimize the AI assistant.

Communication

We’ll only contact you about critical account updates, product changes, or newsletters you opt into.

Data retention

Account data is stored until you delete your account or request removal. Content analytics are retained in aggregate form for as long as they are useful for improving ExploreHub. If you close your account we purge personal details within 30 days.
