By email
Email privacy@helpthehive.com from the email address associated with your account.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a deletion request.

What We May Keep

What We May Keep

Some information may be retained where reasonably necessary for:


  • Legal or regulatory requirements

  • Security and fraud prevention

  • Accounting and transaction records

  • Resolving disputes

  • Protecting Help The Hive and its users

  • Enforcing our Terms of Service

De-identified or aggregated information that no longer reasonably identifies you may also be retained.


Limited copies may remain temporarily in secure backups before they are overwritten or deleted through our normal backup processes.

Connected Financial Accounts

Connected Financial Accounts

If you connected a financial account through Plaid, deleting your Help The Hive account stops Help The Hive from continuing to use that connection.


You may also manage your financial connections directly through Plaid.


Deleting your Help The Hive account does not automatically delete information independently maintained by Plaid or your financial institution.

Government Applications and Third Parties

Government Applications and Third Parties

Deleting your Help The Hive account does not delete information that you previously provided directly to:


  • Government agencies

  • Retailers

  • Financial institutions

  • Apple or Google

  • Other third-party services


Applications or forms you have already downloaded, printed, mailed, shared, or submitted are outside Help The Hive's systems and cannot be recalled through account deletion.

Subscriptions

Subscriptions

Deleting your Help The Hive account does not automatically cancel an active subscription purchased through Apple or Google.


You must cancel your subscription through the App Store or Google Play to stop future charges.
