Hivemind's whole job is holding things you wrote. This page says exactly what it holds, what it refuses to hold, and how to remove it.
AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md,
.cursorrules and their equivalents. It does not read
transcripts.
npx hivemind-cli init looks for context files in your
repositories and home directory. Before anything is sent it
prints every file it found, its size, and how many memories it would
become, and waits for you to agree. --dry-run prints and
sends nothing. A non-interactive run sends nothing unless explicitly told to.
Nothing is passed to a model to be summarised. The files are read, split on their own headings, and stored — which is possible precisely because you wrote them to be read by an agent already.
Every request resolves to your account before any data is read, and every query is bound to it. Accounts cannot see each other's memories, threads, documents or usage. This is enforced by a single accessor that every query passes through, and verified continuously by the test suite rather than assumed.
Connector credentials are encrypted before storage and are never returned by the API.
No advertisers, no data brokers, and no model training — not ours and not anyone else's. The only third parties involved are the ones required to run the service:
| Who | What they handle |
|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosting, storage, and the embedding model that makes retrieval work. Your content stays on their network. |
| Stripe | Payments, as merchant of record. They receive your email and billing details; we never see your card. |
| Google / GitHub | Sign-in only. They tell us your email, name and avatar. |
Content may be disclosed if legally compelled. Where it is lawful to do so, you will be told.
Memories are kept until you delete them. Nightly maintenance may demote or prune low-value short-term entries, which is a feature of how memory tiers work and is described in the documentation. Deleted content is removed from the database and from the search index, not flagged as hidden.
| How | |
|---|---|
| One memory | Memories in the dashboard, or Undo when it is captured |
| Many at once | Describe what should go — you see what would be removed before confirming |
| A whole folder | Deletes its memories and threads |
| A document | Removes the file and everything extracted from it |
| A connected tool | Settings → Connected tools → Revoke |
| Everything | Settings → Delete account |
You may ask for a copy of your data, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Most of this you can do yourself in the dashboard; for anything you cannot, email us and it will be handled within thirty days.
If Hivemind is ever discontinued you will get at least sixty days' notice and a way to export everything first.
Hivemind is not intended for anyone under 16, and accounts are not knowingly created for them.
Material changes are announced by email to the address on your account and noted here with a new date.
