Hold/Privacy Policy

Effective 2026-04-18 · In development

Privacy Policy

Hold is built to minimize data collection. This page is a placeholder covering the baseline commitments. Full policy is in active drafting with counsel.

What we collect

  • URLs you submit to be scanned (and the AI-generated report from each)
  • Handshake session cookies (HttpOnly, 30-day maxAge, scoped per handshake)
  • Basic request logs (timestamp, IP, user-agent) for rate-limiting and abuse prevention
  • Dispute / deletion requests you submit, including the contact you provide

What we don't

  • Accounts or sign-ups — Hold is usable without registration
  • Tracking pixels or third-party advertising tags
  • Selling or sharing personal data with third parties for advertising

Retention

Handshake rows and attached scan data are deleted 30 days after creation. We keep aggregate, non-identifying metrics indefinitely.

Sub-processors

  • Supabase (database hosting — US region)
  • Perplexity (AI investigation API)
  • Vercel (application hosting)

Your rights

If you are a California, Virginia, Colorado, or Connecticut resident — or the subject of any Hold scan — you can request access, correction, or deletion of your data at sendhold.link/dispute. We respond within 7 days.

Security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards per NY SHIELD Act. Session cookies are HttpOnly and transmitted over HTTPS in production.
