Introduction and Scope
Hivemanager Inc. (“Hivemanager,” “we,” “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”).
This Privacy Policy is effective June 6, 2024, and governs our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information (as defined below) that we collect from individuals in connection with the Hivemanager Service (as defined below).
Please note that Hivemanager provides the Hivemanager Service on behalf of its customers and clients, such as health and wellness clinics and businesses (“Clients”). As such, Hivemanager processes Personal Information collected through the Hivemanager Service on behalf of the Client as the Client’s service provider. The Client is ultimately accountable for and in control of your Personal Information collected through the Hivemanager Service.
We also collect Personal Information directly from individuals who contact us to ask a question, request information about our company and services, or otherwise submit Personal Information to us through our website contact form. In such cases, Hivemanager will be acting as the controller of such Personal Information.
Definitions
- Consent: Voluntary agreement to the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information for defined purposes. Consent can be either express or implied. Express consent can be given orally, electronically, or in writing but is always unequivocal and does not require any inference on the part of Hivemanager. Implied consent is consent that can reasonably be inferred from the circumstances or from an individual’s action or inaction.
- Hivemanager Service: The Hivemanager web-based service clinic management service provided by Hivemanager.
- Disclosure: Making Personal Information available to a third party for that party’s own use.
- Personal Information: Information, recorded in any form, that identifies an individual or could be used to identify an individual, but does not include aggregated, anonymized, or depersonalized information that cannot be associated with an individual, or business contact information such as your name, title or position, business address, business telephone, or fax number.
- Transfer: Making Personal Information available to a third party for processing, storage, or otherwise, solely to be used on behalf of Hivemanager.
- Use: The treatment, handling, and management of Personal Information by and within Hivemanager.
Accountability
Hivemanager is responsible for Personal Information under our possession and control. We have designated a Privacy Officer to be responsible for our compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable privacy legislation. Hivemanager will make known, upon request, the title and contact information of the person or persons designated to oversee Hivemanager’s compliance with this Privacy Policy.
Hivemanager is responsible for Personal Information in its possession or custody, including information that has been transferred to a third party for processing. Hivemanager shall use contractual or other means to provide a comparable level of protection while the information is being processed by a third party.
Hivemanager shall implement policies and practices to give effect to these principles, including:
- Implementing procedures to protect Personal Information;
- Implementing an internal process to receive and respond to complaints and inquiries relating to this Privacy Policy; and
- Training staff and communicating to staff information about the organization’s policies and practices.
As noted above, when we collect Personal Information through the Hivemanager Service, it is on behalf of our Client as the Client’s service provider. In these circumstances, the Client is accountable for the Personal Information that we process on their behalf.
What Information Do We Collect?

Non-Personal Information
Non-Personal Information (“NPI”) means information that is aggregated, anonymized, or otherwise cannot be linked with any individual. Hivemanager collects NPI about individuals when they interact with our company website. NPI may include, but is not limited to, browser name, type of computer or device, IP address, geo-location information, pages accessed or visited, and technical information about a user’s means of connecting to the site, such as operating system, Internet service provider utilized, and mobile network information.
How Do We Use Your Personal Information?
Information Collected Through the Hivemanager Service
We collect and use such Personal Information to provide the service to our Clients, including utilizing our payment processor to provide payment services. This may also include responding to your questions on behalf of our Client.
All Other Personal Information
We use Personal Information for the following purposes:
- To establish and maintain commercial relations with you;
- To respond to your questions that you send by email or our website contact form;
- Subject to applicable law, to provide you with newsletters and articles;
- To improve the Hivemanager Service, and help us develop new services, tools, and product features;
- To support our business functions such as internal business processes, security, marketing, and advertising; and
- To meet any legal or regulatory requirements.
How Long Will We Retain Your Personal Information?
Hivemanager will retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected the information, to ensure your compliance with our terms of service, and to comply with our legal or contractual obligations. When we act as a service provider to our Clients, we will retain such Personal Information in accordance with our Client’s instructions.
Consent
We respect your privacy and, unless otherwise required by law, we will not collect, use, transfer, or disclose your Personal Information without your prior consent. Your consent may be expressed or implied. You may expressly give your consent in writing, verbally, or through any electronic means. In certain circumstances, your consent may be implied by your actions. For example, providing your contact information in conjunction with a product inquiry implies consent for Hivemanager to contact you.
In certain circumstances, consent with respect to use or disclosure may be sought after the information has been collected but before use (for example, when Hivemanager wants to use information for a purpose other than those identified above). The form of consent sought by Hivemanager may vary, depending upon the circumstances and type of information disclosed. In determining the appropriate form of consent, Hivemanager shall consider the sensitivity of the Personal Information and the reasonable expectations of the individual. Hivemanager will seek express consent when the information is likely to be considered sensitive. Implied consent will generally be appropriate where the information is less sensitive.
When we process your Personal Information as a service provider to our Client, our Client is responsible for obtaining your consent, and you will need to make any consent withdrawal request to the Client directly.
Limiting Collection
We limit the collection of Personal Information to that which is necessary to fulfill the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy, and we collect, use, and disclose your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Do We Disclose or Transfer Your Personal Information to Others?
Hivemanager will maintain the strict confidentiality of all Personal Information collected and will not sell, transfer, or otherwise disclose any of your Personal Information to any third party without your knowledge and consent except for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.
When we act as a service provider to our Clients, we will only collect, use, and disclose your Personal Information to provide the Hivemanager Solution on the Client’s behalf in accordance with the Client’s instructions.
We may share your Personal Information with third-party service providers that help us with our business operations or to support the Hivemanager Solution. For example, we may share your Personal Information with service providers that help with our operations or our products, including, without limitation, for customer service, billing, and payment processing. Such service providers may only use your Personal Information as provided herein.
We may also disclose your information, including Personal Information, in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (including corporate reorganization, merger, or amalgamation with another entity, dissolution, or liquidation).
From time to time, we may disclose your Personal Information to third parties under the following limited circumstances:
- When necessary to protect our safety, property, or other rights, our representatives, customers, and users of the Hivemanager Solution, including to detect and prevent fraud;
- With your consent; or
- When otherwise required or permitted by law.
Any Personal Information that we process as a service provider to our Client will remain under our Client’s control and will not be disclosed to a third party except on our Client’s instructions or when required by law.
How Do We Collect, Use and Share NPI?
Hivemanager uses NPI in an ongoing effort to better understand and serve our customers and to improve the content and functionality of our website.
In addition, Hivemanager may use Personal Information, on an aggregated de-identified basis, for research purposes to improve our website or services. This aggregated de-identified information does not identify any individual and therefore is considered and treated as NPI under this Privacy Policy. For instance, Hivemanager uses NPI to monitor traffic and to collect statistical data.
Specific uses of NPI by Hivemanager include:
- To conduct internal research on our customers and potential problems to better understand and serve them, including usage patterns, demographics, interests, and behaviors.
- To diagnose or service technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated with the IP addresses controlled by a specific web company or ISP.
- To use anonymized and aggregated information about users’ interaction with our site to test our systems, data analysis, developing new services, and improving and/or personalizing your experience on our site.
The NPI collected by Hivemanager will not be shared with third parties, except as expressly indicated in this Privacy Policy, or for other lawful purposes.
Data Processors in Other Countries
We may engage third-party service providers to perform certain services on our behalf. These providers may store, process, and transfer Personal Information on servers located outside of your home country in jurisdictions whose data protection laws may differ from those of your home country. As a result, Personal Information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in those jurisdictions according to the laws in those jurisdictions. For example, information may be shared in response to valid demands or requests from government authorities, courts, and law enforcement officials in those countries. Subject to applicable laws in such other jurisdictions, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure that appropriate protections are in place to require our service providers to maintain protections on personal information that are equivalent to those that apply in your home country.
How Do We Protect Your Personal Information?
Hivemanager protects your Personal Information by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. We maintain technical, physical, and administrative security safeguards to protect your Personal Information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access or disclosure. Any Personal Information that you provide to us is exchanged on a secure server. Although we take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect the security of your Personal Information, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your username, password, and any other account information. We also take reasonable steps to ensure that our employees, contractors, and vendors are aware of the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of personal information and have signed confidentiality/non-disclosure agreements with them as applicable. We endeavor to limit access to Personal Information to those personnel that require access to such personal information on a ‘need to know’ basis to perform their obligations.
How May I Access and Modify My Personal Information or Make a Complaint?
If you have questions or concerns about Personal Information collected by us and would like assistance accessing that information and/or would like to confirm its accuracy, please contact us at support@hivemanager.com. In limited circumstances, we may not be able to provide you with access to your Personal Information if the information cannot be separated from the personal information of others, cannot be disclosed for reasons of security or commercial confidentiality, or is protected by legal privilege. If we cannot provide you with access to your personal information, we will advise you of the reasons access is being denied, unless we are prohibited by law from doing so.
Please note that where we process your Personal Information as a service provider to our Client, you will need to make your request to the Client directly.
You may request to update and change your Personal Information in our control at the contact information set forth below. We shall endeavor to correct or complete any Personal Information which you advise us is inaccurate or incomplete. Where appropriate, the amended information shall be transmitted to third parties having access to such information. Where we process your Personal Information as a service provider to our Client, you will need to make your request to the Client directly.
