1. Information Collection
Hound collects only your email address when you join our early access waitlist. Once the service launches, we may collect basic qualification details and exam preferences that you explicitly provide to personalize your tracking experience. We do not collect any sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary for the service.
2. Credential Vault & Security
Your privacy and data security are our top priorities. Any documents or credentials you choose to store in the Hound Credential Vault are secured using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. This encryption occurs locally or in a manner where we do not have access to your raw data. Only you can unlock and access your vault contents.
3. Data Sharing & Selling
We have a strict no-sale policy. Hound does not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third-party advertisers or data brokers. Your information is used exclusively to facilitate exam tracking and critical notifications.
4. Compliance
Hound operates in full compliance with the Indian Information Technology Act, 2000 (IT Act 2000) and its subsequent rules and amendments regarding data protection and privacy.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as we add new features. We will notify you of any significant changes via the email address associated with your account.
