Age restriction & verification
Ather Hive is intended for users aged 13 years or older. We do not knowingly collect, use, or store personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a user under 13 has registered, we will immediately terminate the account and delete all associated data.
Any attempt to bypass age restrictions or impersonate an adult by a minor will result in permanent account suspension. We cooperate with law enforcement for any credible child exploitation or safety threats.

If we make significant changes to our privacy practices, we will notify you via in-app notice (visible when you open the app) and by email (if you provided one). The latest version of this policy will always be available at this page. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
