Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

HypeCurve ("we," "us," or "our") operates hypecurve.co — an AI-powered movie and TV show excitement analysis tool. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website.

2. Information we collect

We collect minimal information necessary to operate the service:

• Search queries: The movie or show titles you search for are sent to our AI system to generate analysis. These queries are not stored or linked to individuals.
• Usage data: We collect standard anonymous analytics data — page views, general location (country level), browser type, and device type. This data is aggregated and never linked to individuals.
• Contact form submissions: If you contact us, we collect the information you provide (name, email, message) solely to respond to your inquiry.

3. Information we do NOT collect

• We do not require account creation or registration
• We do not collect email addresses unless you voluntarily provide them
• We do not track individual users across sessions
• We do not collect payment information
• We do not collect or store personal viewing history

4. How we use information

The limited information we collect is used only to:

• Provide and improve the HypeCurve service
• Understand aggregate usage patterns to improve features
• Respond to contact form submissions
• Maintain security and prevent abuse

5. Third-party services

HypeCurve uses the following third-party services:

• Anthropic AI: Movie analysis queries are processed through Anthropic's API. Anthropic's privacy policy governs how they handle this data.
• Netlify: Our website is hosted on Netlify, which collects standard server logs.
• JustWatch: We link to JustWatch for streaming availability. Clicking these links is subject to JustWatch's privacy policy.

6. Cookies

HypeCurve uses minimal cookies for basic site functionality. We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting your ability to use the service.

7. Data retention

We do not maintain user profiles or session data. Anonymous analytics data is retained for 12 months before deletion. Contact form submissions are retained for 24 months.

8. Your rights

Since we do not collect personal data linked to individuals, most data rights requests (access, deletion, portability) are not applicable. If you have submitted a contact form and wish to have that data deleted, please contact us.

9. Children's privacy

HypeCurve is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us for immediate deletion.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. We will note the date of the last update at the top of this page. Continued use of HypeCurve after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
