privacy policy

We take your privacy
seriously.

This policy describes what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it. We've written it in plain language because we believe you deserve to understand how your data is handled.

Last updated: June 2025 · Effective immediately
01

Information we collect

Account information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and any profile information you choose to add (display name, username, bio, avatar). We use this to identify you and provide your account.

Content you create

We store the HTML pages you create, import, or edit on our platform. This is your content, and we only use it to provide the service to you.

Payment information

We use Razorpay to process payments. We do not store your card details, UPI handles, or banking credentials. Razorpay's privacy policy governs how payment information is handled.

Usage data

We collect basic usage information such as which features you use, page loads, and error logs. This helps us improve the platform. We do not sell this data.

Uploaded files

If you upload images or documents to use in your pages, we store them securely in our cloud storage. They are used solely to provide your requested functionality.

02

How we use your information

To provide the service

We use your information to create and manage your account, host your pages, process payments, and operate the platform.

To communicate with you

We may send you emails about your account, subscription, important service updates, or responses to your support requests. We do not send marketing emails unless you opt in.

To improve Hyphertext

We analyse aggregate usage patterns to understand how the platform is used and to prioritise improvements. This analysis is never tied to individual user identities in a way that's shared externally.

03

Content and public pages

Published pages are public

When you publish a page on Hyphertext, it becomes publicly accessible at its URL. Anyone with the link can view it. If you want a page to be private, keep it in draft status (unpublished).

Your public profile

If you set a username, your profile page at /u/[username] is publicly visible and will show your published pages. You can choose not to set a username to avoid having a public profile.

Content moderation

You are responsible for the content you publish. We reserve the right to remove content that violates our Terms of Service, including illegal content, spam, or content that harms others.

04

Data sharing

We do not sell your data

We never sell personal information to third parties. Full stop.

Service providers

We share data with providers that help us run the platform: Supabase (database and storage), Razorpay (payments), and Anthropic (AI services for page generation). Each is bound by data processing agreements.

Legal requirements

We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the public.

05

Data retention and deletion

Account deletion

You can delete your account at any time by contacting us at support@hyphertext.com. We will permanently delete your account data, pages, and uploaded files within 30 days.

Retention period

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, we retain anonymised aggregate data (no personal identifiers) for analytics.

Backups

Deleted data may persist in encrypted backups for up to 90 days, after which it is permanently purged.

06

Security

What we do

We use industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, secure database access controls, and encrypted storage. Passwords are never stored in plaintext.

What you should do

Use a strong, unique password. Do not share your account credentials. Contact us immediately at support@hyphertext.com if you suspect unauthorised access.

07
