Your space. Your data.

The short version

HiveMind hosts provider websites in a native Windows workspace. There is no HiveMind-hosted cloud sync, conversation archive, or API-key manager. Messages and files you submit go to the provider you use, under its policies. Microsoft WebView2 and Windows components have their own network behavior and policies.

Service profiles separate browser storage between providers. They are not anonymity tools, and session-only Media history is not a private-browsing mode.

On your Windows device

Personal data lives under %LOCALAPPDATA%\HiveMind, separately from the installed app under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\HiveMind.

• workspace.json: preferences, custom services, and saved tab URLs.
• media-library.json: recent file paths, service/tab associations, source URLs, timestamps, sizes, and activity state.
• Browser\: WebView2 profiles, cookies, cache, website storage, and sign-ins.
• diagnostics.log: timestamps, operation context, exception types, and HRESULTs. HiveMind's logger omits exception messages, URLs, cookies, and page contents.

JSON settings/history are ordinary local files, not an encrypted vault. Provider websites may retain conversation data in browser storage. Treat the entire personal data directory as private.

Saved links and files

Saved page URLs must use HTTPS and match the service hostname. Query strings and fragments are stripped; common authentication paths and temporary media URLs fall back to the service home. Conversation identifiers may still appear in paths.

Custom service home URLs are stored as configured, including any query parameters. Use a clean HTTPS home address without credentials or tokens.

Attachments stay at their original file locations. Downloads go to the selected folder. Media records metadata and uses Windows thumbnails, without copying those files into app data. The app assigns only files selected or dropped by the user to supported attachment inputs. Provider validation and upload completion remain with the provider.

Your retention controls

Media can remember up to 300 recent entries. Turn off remembered history and save Settings to clear its persisted list and use session-only history. Clear/remove actions keep files and active transfers. Clearing Downloads does not clear Media.

Removing a custom service does not erase its browser profile. Uninstall keeps your personal app-data directory and downloaded files. For a reversible fresh start, close HiveMind and rename the data folder to a private backup. That backup still contains personal information.

What is in the installer

The installer contains application files and runtime prerequisites. It is built from a fresh publish directory, not a running app profile. It does not contain the developer's sign-ins, cookies, workspace, Media history, attachments, or personal files.

Distribution builds strip debugging information/source paths, and a packaging audit checks known personal-state files, paths, and identifiers. This is a finite packaging check, not a complete security review. The sanitized audit summary is available for the current release.

This website

This website does not add advertising trackers, analytics scripts, account forms, or browser storage for visitor profiles. Theme controls are a local demonstration and are not saved. The site, fonts, images, video, and installer downloads are served from Cloudflare.

Cloudflare processes connection data such as IP addresses, request metadata, and security signals to deliver and protect the service. Sampled operational Worker logs may include request metadata and are accessible to the account owner under Cloudflare's platform retention settings. This is not a promise of zero logging.

The site contains no forms for submitting personal information. Do not send private app data or credentials in reports. Downloaded files and AI-provider activity are governed by the relevant software/provider policies.
