How We Protect Your Information

Last Updated: August 27, 2026

Protecting personal information is an important part of how Help The Hive is built.

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or loss.

Sensitive Information

Sensitive Information

Help The Hive treats certain information as especially sensitive, including:

  • Benefit-application information

  • Household-income information

  • Benefit participation information

  • Connected financial-account information

  • Plaid-derived financial information

We do not use these sensitive categories for advertising.

Financial Connections

Financial Connections

Financial-account connections may be provided through Plaid.

Help The Hive does not directly receive your online-banking username or password.

Connected financial information is used to provide financial and budgeting features you choose to use.

Access and Security

Access and Security

We design our systems so access to personal information is limited to what is reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, support, and protect Help The Hive.

We also use security and monitoring practices intended to detect suspicious activity and protect our systems.

Third-Party Providers

No System Is Perfect

No System Is Perfect

No website, application, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
