This Privacy Policy explains how What is Hype ("Platform", "we") handles the personal data of our visitors and users.
What We Process
You do not need to create an account to use the Platform, and we never ask for your name, email, or similar identifying information. The data we process is limited: — Your IP address: processed only to prevent the same person from voting multiple times in "Give Hype" battles, using a one-way hash that cannot be reversed. We never store your raw IP address. — Browser/device information and your preferred language, country, and theme (light/dark): kept in your browser (localStorage) to personalize your experience; never sent to us. — If you've given cookie consent: standard web analytics and advertising data is processed via Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, and Google's advertising systems. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Why We Process It
To operate the Platform safely and fairly (preventing vote manipulation), to understand usage patterns, and — with your consent — to show relevant advertising.
Sharing With Third Parties
Your data is never sold. It is only shared with our hosting provider (Vercel), our database provider (Supabase), and, where you've consented, Google's analytics/advertising services.
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of your data, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
