PRIVACY POLICY

At Hyenai, we build local-first developer workspaces. Your data security is foundational to our architecture. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, process, and protect your information.

1. DATA COLLECTION

We collect information that allows us to improve SOVEREIGN and serve our users:

• Identity Data: Name, email address, and professional affiliation when provided.
• Technical Data: IP addresses, browser types, and hardware identifiers used to access our platforms.
• Usage Data: How you interact with our website and services.
• Payment Data: Processed through secure, encrypted gateways (Stripe, PayPal). We do not store raw card numbers.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

Your information is used to:

• Maintain and optimize our services and website.
• Verify licensing for SOVEREIGN software.
• Develop and improve our testing tools.
• Ensure the security of our infrastructure.

3. THIRD-PARTY API KEYS (BYOK)

For desktop products like SOVEREIGN, AI-powered features require you to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) for third-party LLMs (e.g., DeepSeek, Gemini). We strictly adhere to the following privacy promises:

• Zero Telemetry: We do not transmit, collect, or store your third-party API keys. They exist solely encrypted on your local hardware.
• Local Sovereignty: Prompts sent and data generated via your API keys exist only between your machine and your chosen AI provider. Hyenai has ZERO visibility into your test scripts or proprietary system data.
• User Responsibility: You are fully responsible for reading and opting into the privacy and data retention policies of the API providers you choose to integrate.

4. COOKIE POLICY

We use session and persistent cookies to maintain state across our web interfaces. You may opt-out through your browser settings, though some functions may be limited.

4. DATA RETENTION

We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined. Encrypted archives are maintained for legal compliance and security audits.

5. YOUR RIGHTS

As a global entity, we respect international standards (GDPR, CCPA):

• Access: Request a copy of the data we hold on you.
• Erasure: Request the "Right to be Forgotten" from our active databases.
• Correction: Update inaccurate information.
