Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Alt Hunt ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website and platform at https://althunt.io (and its associated domains). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your personal information is handled responsibly. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use Alt Hunt to create, publish, or read SaaS alternative and comparison pages.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide and secure our platform services:

• Authentication & Account Data: When you sign in using a secure single sign-on (SSO) provider, we receive basic profile information, including your email address, full name, and avatar profile picture URL.
• User-Generated Content: Information you voluntarily submit when creating comparison pages (product URLs, feature comparison matrices, pricing tables, uploaded logos and cover images) and community discussion comments/replies.
• Usage & Telemetry Data: Page view counts, upvote interaction signals, and basic browser parameters used solely for rate limiting, spam prevention, and analytics.

3. How We Use Your Information

We process your data for the following specific purposes:

• To authenticate your identity and allow you to manage and edit your published comparison pages.
• To display your public avatar picture and name on community discussion comments you author.
• To enforce our platform terms and free-tier publishing limits (e.g. 1 comparison page per product, 1 edit post-publish).
• To filter out automated link spam, abuse, and malicious submissions.
• To communicate important product updates and waitlist notifications for upcoming features (such as the Pro Plan).

4. Cookies & Local Storage

Alt Hunt uses browser local storage and essential session cookies to remember your display preferences (such as Light/Dark theme settings) and keep you signed in securely across sessions. We do not use intrusive third-party cross-site tracking cookies.

5. Data Sharing & Service Providers

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only where strictly necessary to operate and secure the platform — namely with reputable, industry-standard third-party service providers that support functions such as hosting, database storage, authentication, and content delivery. These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and confidentiality obligations, and only to the extent required to deliver the service. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

6. Your Rights & Data Deletion

As an owner of a published comparison page, you have the right to delete your comparison pages at any time directly through your Maker Dashboard. You may also request complete removal of your account and associated data by emailing us.
