At Ureka, your privacy is fundamental.
This website prioritizes user privacy and data protection through a privacy-by-design approach. It is built as a front-end interface for the decentralized Hive blockchain.
Ureka does not collect, process, or store any personal data on the Ureka server. There is no user database, and we do not use cookies or third-party trackers.
The core Ureka website is entirely browser based (client side only), meaning that once you connect to the Ureka server and download the website code to your device, you, no longer communicate with the Ureka web server. The built-in chat system is currently hosted by the team at Peakd.com and is optional. If you opt to make use of the chat system, be aware that your private messages may be stored on a PeakD server and you should review the Peakd Privacy Policy to understand your relationship with them.
At this time, Ureka is only served from Ureka.social - do not trust any other sources claiming to be Ureka.
