Privacy Policy
Last updated 14 November 2026
We collect as little as we can: an email address if you make an account, what you upload, anonymous counts of what is watched, and the technical data needed to run and protect the site. Your feed only learns your taste if you say yes. We don't sell data or show ads based on it. We use Google Analytics cookies to count visits; you can switch them off on this page.
1. Who is responsible
The controller of your personal data is AIPORNHIVE.COM. For anything about your data, write to admin@aipornhive.com.
2. What we collect
- Account data: your email address, username, password (stored only as a secure hash), whether you confirmed your email, and your account role.
- Uploads: the video files you upload, and the title, tags, style, AI tool and other details you add. We keep the original file privately and publish converted copies, previews and still images.
- Activity on the site: when you use these features, the videos you like or save, your votes on tags, and the reports you send.
- What is watched: for each video the feed shows, how long it played, whether it was watched again, skipped or shared, whether the sound was on, and which feed it came from. We store this without your name, account or IP address, unless you have an account with "Personalise my feed" switched on (see below).
- Your taste profile, only if you switch on "Personalise my feed": with an account, we link what you watch, like and save to your account and keep a profile of the tags, styles, lengths and creators you watch more or less of. Without an account, the list of videos you watched stays in your own browser: it is sent along when the feed asks for new videos, used for that one answer, and not kept on our servers.
- Removal requests: what you write in the removal form, including your name and email if you give them.
- Technical data: your IP address, browser and device type, and the pages you request, in our server logs. Where we only need to tell visitors apart (for example for reports), we store a scrambled, salted hash of the IP address instead of the address itself.
- Emails you send us.
We do not collect payment data, real names (unless you give them in a removal request), or special categories of data such as health data.
3. Why we use it, and on what legal basis
| Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|
| Running your account, publishing your uploads, likes, saves and votes | Performing our contract with you (art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Emails about your account: confirming your address, password resets, moderation decisions | Contract (art. 6(1)(b)) and legal obligation (art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Moderating content, keeping out illegal content, preventing spam, abuse and attacks | Our legitimate interest in a safe, lawful site (art. 6(1)(f)) and legal obligations (art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Handling removal requests, copyright notices and requests from authorities | Legal obligation (art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Counting views, watch time, rewatches and skips per video, without knowing who watched, to rank videos for everyone (For you, Hot, Top) and to improve the site | Legitimate interest (art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Personalising your feed: your taste profile (accounts) or the watch list kept in your browser (guests) | Your consent (art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time |
| Measuring how the site is used with Google Analytics and its cookies (see section 4) | Legitimate interest in knowing how the site is used (art. 6(1)(f)); you can switch the cookies off at any time |
4. Cookies and browser storage
We only use cookies the site needs to work, plus Google Analytics cookies to count visits. They are not used for advertising or to follow you across other sites.
| Cookie | What it does | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
| hive_age | Remembers that you confirmed you are 18 or older | 1 year |
| ai-porn-hive-session | Keeps your session (and log-in) working | 120 minutes after your last visit |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | Same as the session |
| remember_web_… | Keeps you logged in between visits | Up to 5 years, or until you log out |
| _ga, _ga_… | Lets Google Analytics tell visits apart and count returning visitors | Up to 2 years, or until you switch them off below |
The site also keeps a few things in your browser's own storage. They are never sent to anyone but us.
| Stored item | What it does | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
| hive-visit | The videos already shown during this visit and how the last 20 went, so the feed does not repeat itself and can adapt as you watch | Until you close the tab |
| hive-personalise | Your answer to "Personalise my feed", if you don't have an account | Until you clear your browser's storage |
| hive-taste | Only if you said yes and don't have an account: the last 200 videos you watched (video number, time watched, rewatches, day) | Up to 90 days per video; deleted when you switch personalising off |
| hive-analytics | Only if you switched Google Analytics cookies off: remembers that choice | Until you switch them back on or clear your browser's storage |
We use Google Tag Manager and the Google tags it loads, such as Google Analytics, to see how the site is used. Google Analytics sets the _ga cookies listed above and receives technical data such as the page address, the time, your browser type and your IP address, which it uses for statistics we only see in aggregate. Advertising and ad personalisation storage are always switched off: we don't use Google for ads. If you switch Google Analytics cookies off, we delete them and Google only receives cookieless signals.
Google Analytics cookies are off in this browser.
When our sign-up, log-in or removal forms use Cloudflare Turnstile (a check that you are not a bot), Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address and browser details for that check.
5. Who we share it with
- Hosting: the site and its videos run on servers we rent; the hosting company only stores the data for us.
- Email: account emails are sent from our own server.
- Cloudflare: for DNS and, where enabled, the Turnstile bot check and content delivery.
- Google: receives the Google Analytics data described in section 4.
- Authorities: when the law requires it, for example reports of child sexual abuse material or a valid court order.
- People who send copyright notices: if you send a counter-notice, we may forward it to them, as the DMCA requires.
We never sell personal data or share it for advertising.
6. Transfers outside Europe
Cloudflare and Google may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Such transfers are covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
7. How long we keep it
- Account data: while your account exists, and up to 30 days after you close it (longer only where we must keep it for a legal reason, such as an ongoing dispute).
- Uploads: until you or we remove them; the private original is deleted with the video. Copies in backups disappear as the backups are replaced.
- Server logs: up to 90 days.
- Anonymous watch records: up to 90 days. After that only daily totals per video remain, which say nothing about who watched.
- Your taste profile (accounts): until you switch "Personalise my feed" off or close your account. Switching it off deletes the profile at once and unlinks your past views from your account; older interests also fade out on their own over a few weeks.
- Reports, removal requests and moderation decisions: up to 3 years, so we can show how we handled them.
8. Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask us to:
- give you a copy of your data (access) or a machine-readable export (portability);
- correct it (rectification) or delete it (erasure);
- limit how we use it (restriction), or object to uses based on our legitimate interest.
Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time: switch off "Personalise my feed" in the menu. With an account this deletes your taste profile; without one it deletes the watch list in your browser.
Write to admin@aipornhive.com from the email address on your account; we answer within one month. You can also complain to a data protection authority, in particular the one in the country where you live or work.
9. Security
The site only works over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), passwords are stored as secure hashes, original uploads are kept outside the public web, and only our moderators and administrators can see account and report data.
10. Minors
The site is for adults only. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, and we delete any account we learn belongs to a minor.
11. Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version, and we announce important changes on the site and, if you have an account, by email.
