Privacy Policy

What We Store

HippoBox is designed with privacy as a core principle. Here's exactly what we store:

On Your Device (Local Storage)

• All message content - Your LinkedIn conversations never leave your browser
• Contact information - Names, profile data, and conversation history
• Snippets - Your saved message templates
• Application settings - Your preferences and configurations

On Our Servers

• Account details - Email, name, and authentication credentials
• Message IDs - Unique identifiers to sync tags and reminders (not message content)
• Tags and reminders - Your organizational labels and follow-up reminders
• No message data - We deliberately do not store the actual content of your messages

How We Use Your Information

We use the minimal data we collect to:

• Authenticate your account and provide access to HippoBox
• Sync your tags and reminders across devices
• Provide customer support when you reach out to us
• Improve the product based on aggregated, anonymized usage patterns

Data Security

We take security seriously:

• Encryption - All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS
• Secure storage - Account credentials are hashed using bcrypt with salt
• Limited access - Only essential team members have access to server data
• No third-party sharing - We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes

Your Rights

You have complete control over your data:

• Data export - Request a copy of your data at any time
• Account deletion - Delete your account and all associated server data
• Tag removal - Delete individual tags or reminders whenever you want

• Do not have access to your LinkedIn password
• Only read messages you have access to through LinkedIn's interface
• Store messages locally on your device, not on our servers

Cookies and Tracking

• No ad tracking - We don't track you for advertising purposes
