Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Welcome to hn30. We believe in privacy by design. This policy outlines the minimal information we collect and how we use it to provide our service while respecting your privacy.

Information We Collect

We only collect information that is essential for the functionality and security of our service.

1. Server Logs for Security

When you use our service, our backend server temporarily logs technical information for security and abuse prevention. This includes:

• Your IP Address
• The endpoint requested (e.g., for summaries or images)
• The time of the request

Your IP address is used for rate-limiting our AI summarization and image proxy features. This is crucial to prevent misuse, manage costs, and ensure the service remains available to everyone. These logs are not used to identify you and to create personal profiles.

2. Anonymous Website Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-first analytics tool, to understand website traffic. Plausible does not use cookies or generate persistent identifiers. It collects only anonymous, aggregate data, including:

• The pages visited
• The source of traffic (e.g., another website)
• General information like browser, OS, and country

3. Your Browser's Local Storage

We use your browser's localStorage and Indexed Database to locally save your preferences, such as:

• Your theme choice (light or dark mode)
• Your bookmarked stories

This data is stored only on your device and is never sent to our servers. Clearing your browser data will remove it.

How We Handle Third-Party Services

• AI Summaries (Google Gemini): When you request an AI summary, the content of the article is sent to the Google Gemini API. We do not send any personal information about you to Google.
• Image Proxy: To protect your privacy from third-party sites, all article images are routed through our backend proxy. This prevents websites from seeing your IP address or using tracking cookies when images are loaded.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the minimal data we handle from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access.

Your Rights

You have the right to know what data we collect. If you have any questions about this policy, please don't hesitate to reach out.
