HIVE CONNECT

HiveConnect early access: how we use your information

You're seeing this because LigeroNex invited you to try an early version of HiveConnect. This notice explains what we keep about you, why we keep it, who can see it, and how to leave.

Who we are

HiveConnect is built by LigeroNex. LigeroNex decides how your information is used in this early-access test.

Contact: info@ligeronex.com

This is an early, test version

• HiveConnect early access is a development version, not a finished service. Some features are incomplete, and the known privacy limitations are listed below.
• Most of the colleagues you'll see are invented, so the app feels like a real company. Only the other people invited are real.
• Please don't enter sensitive information, for example about your health, beliefs or finances, in your profile, notes or feedback.
• HiveConnect does not replace your employer's IT, HR or emergency channels.

What we keep

What LigeroNex enters when it invites you

• your email address;
• your first and last name;
• your job title and department;
• optionally, your location.

You can't change your name, job title or department in the app. Ask us at info@ligeronex.com to correct them.

What you add or choose in your profile

• your location, skills, and the topics you can help with or mentor in;
• your availability and weekly capacity;
• your “Open to” choices for Meet, Help, Learn and Belong;
• optionally, a profile photo. The photo is stored as a small copy (256 × 256 pixels), with location and camera details removed.

What you do in HiveConnect

• requests you send and receive, with any note, topic or meeting details;
• whether a request was accepted or declined, and any feedback you give on it;
• the communities you join;
• people you hide, block or report, and reports made about you.

Sign-in and administration

• when your invite was sent;
• your first and most recent sign-in;
• your sessions, which last 8 hours;
• one-time sign-in codes, stored only in scrambled (hashed) form and valid for 10 minutes;
• failed sign-in attempts and temporary locks;
• a log of what LigeroNex staff did to your account, such as adding you or sending an invite.

Not collected

• your private messages;
• your email content;
• what you do in other apps;
• tracking or advertising cookies.

HiveConnect sets one cookie, which keeps you signed in.

Why we use it

We use it to let you try HiveConnect, to show your profile to other people invited, as you choose, to send your sign-in codes and invite, to keep the service secure, and to learn from your feedback how to improve HiveConnect.

We rely on our legitimate interests in running an early-access test that you have agreed to join. You can object at any time by emailing info@ligeronex.com, and we'll remove you.

Who can see your information

• Other people invited, once signed in, can see your name, job title, department, location, skills, topics, photo and availability. Your “Open to” choices start switched off. You appear in Meet, Help, Learn and Belong only after you switch them on.
• LigeroNex staff running early access can see the list of people invited, when invites were sent and when each person last signed in. They don't see your notes or requests through the app.

Our service providers hold or pass on the data, and use it only to provide their service to us:

• Google Cloud, London region runs the app. Its request logs, which include IP addresses, are kept for up to 30 days by default.
• Neon, on Amazon Web Services in London, holds the database.
• Microsoft 365 sends the invite and sign-in emails, from info@ligeronex.com.

No AI service receives your information: HiveConnect's AI matching is switched off in early access. We don't sell or share your information with anyone else.

Known limitations in this early version

We are telling you these so you can decide what to put in your profile:

• “Everyone” in Find people lists everyone invited, including people who haven't switched on any “Open to” choice.
• Blocking someone hides them in most places, but they can still appear on your Home screen.
• Feedback described as private can be seen by the other person in the connection.
• Deleting your profile hides it at once, but doesn't erase it automatically. To have it erased completely, email info@ligeronex.com.

How long we keep it

We keep your information until early access ends or you ask to leave, whichever comes first. We then erase it within 30 days. Google Cloud's request logs are deleted after up to 30 days.

Your choices and rights

• Change your profile: you can change your profile and “Open to” choices at any time.
• Download your data: you can download your profile from the Profile page.
• Leave or have your data erased: you can leave at any time. Email info@ligeronex.com, or reply to your invite, and we'll remove you and erase your information.
• Your legal rights: you can ask for a copy of your information, have it corrected or erased, or object to how we use it. Email info@ligeronex.com.
• Complaints: if you're unhappy with how we handled your information, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live. In the UK, that is the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes to this notice

If we change this notice during early access, we'll update this page and tell everyone invited by email.
