Effective date: 19 October 2026
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information Hypespool ("we", "us") collects when you use hypespool.com (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. We do not offer accounts, we do not sell personal information, and we do not run advertising.
1. Information we collect
You give us directly. If you email us (for example to send a source, a correction or a copyright notice), we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and the contents of your message and any attachments.
Collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers collect:
- Usage data: pages viewed, links clicked, scrolling, time on page, referring page, and approximate location derived from your IP address (country or city level).
- Device data: browser and device type, operating system, screen size and language settings.
- Session recordings and heatmaps: Microsoft Clarity records how pages are used (mouse movement, clicks and scrolling) so we can see where the design works or confuses. Clarity masks text you type into fields.
- Log data: our hosting provider records standard request data, such as IP address, time and the page requested, to deliver and secure the Site.
2. How we use it
- To run, secure and fix the Site.
- To understand which campaigns, articles and features people use, so we can improve our coverage and design.
- To measure loading speed and reliability.
- To reply to you, review your corrections or sources, and handle copyright notices.
- To meet legal obligations and protect our rights.
We rely on our legitimate interest in running and improving an editorial website, on your consent where the law requires it, and on our legal obligations.
3. Analytics and the services we use
| Service | Provider | What it does | Cookies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web Analytics | Vercel Inc. | Counts page views and visits in aggregate | None |
| Speed Insights | Vercel Inc. | Measures page speed in real browsers | None |
| Google Analytics 4 | Google LLC | Usage statistics | Yes, see Cookie Policy |
| Microsoft Clarity | Microsoft Corp. | Heatmaps and session recordings | Yes, see Cookie Policy |
| Hosting | Vercel Inc. | Serves the Site | None |
Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity load only after your first interaction with a page (scrolling, tapping, moving the pointer or pressing a key). Each provider processes data under its own privacy terms.
4. Sharing
We share information only with the service providers listed above, who process it on our behalf; with professional advisers where needed; with authorities when the law requires it; and with a successor if Hypespool is ever transferred. We never sell personal information.
5. International transfers
Our providers may store and process data in the United States and other countries whose data-protection laws differ from yours. Where required, transfers rely on safeguards such as the providers' standard contractual clauses.
6. How long we keep it
Analytics data is kept for the retention periods set in each tool (Google Analytics: 14 months; Clarity: up to 13 months for aggregated data and 30 days for recordings by default). Emails are kept for as long as needed to handle your message and any follow-up, then deleted.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the EU and UK GDPR, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict its use, to withdraw consent, and to complain to a data-protection authority. Email contact@hypespool.com and we will respond within 30 days.
You can also limit tracking yourself: block cookies in your browser settings, use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, or use a content blocker.
8. Security
We use HTTPS everywhere, security headers and reputable infrastructure providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. When we do, we will change the effective date above, and for significant changes we will add a note on the Site.
