Hive (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how Hive handles information when you use our mobile application.

All operations performed by Hive happen entirely on your device. This includes:
- Scanning photos and videos
- Detecting duplicate or similar files
