Information users provide
We collect information you provide directly, including your name, email, phone number and interests when creating a profile or booking a gathering.
Account & profile information
Your profile may include a first name, photo, interests and areas of Abu Dhabi you gather in, used to help you find relevant gatherings and community.
Booking & activity data
We keep a record of gatherings you book or host, so you can manage upcoming plans and Hive can maintain safe, accurate attendance.
Attendance & community information
Information about circles you join and gatherings you attend helps personalise recommendations and community suggestions.
Contact form submissions
Messages sent through Contact, Membership or Host forms are stored to respond to your enquiry.
