Our Commitment to Your Privacy
At H0pe.ai, we believe that privacy is a fundamental right. We've built our platform with privacy-first principles, collecting only what's necessary to provide you with evidence-based hope interventions.
What Data We Collect
Information You Provide
- Email Address: When you sign up for early access or our newsletter, we collect your email address to send you updates about H0pe.ai and your personalized Hope Protocol.
