Privacy protocol

Minimal data by design.

HiveBuzz keeps discovery open, scans artifacts locally, and avoids identity collection for downloads.

Effective 2026-08-02

Account-free browsing

You can browse and download without a HiveBuzz account, wallet, Nostr signature, or Buzz identity. HiveBuzz does not create a personal download history.

Local file inspection

Snapshot and Persona Pack checks run in your browser. Files selected on the submission page are not uploaded to HiveBuzz. A file leaves your device only when you deliberately attach it to a public GitHub request.

Aggregate download counts

HiveBuzz stores a release-level total after a completed download. The counter is not intended to identify a person and is never presented as a safety or reputation score.

Hosting and public requests

The hosting provider may process ordinary security and delivery logs. GitHub applies its own privacy terms when you open a contribution request or follow a repository link.

Security reports

Do not include credentials, private keys, memory exports, personal data, or live secrets in an issue. Report sensitive vulnerabilities privately through the repository security policy.
