HiveBounty stores the minimum account and activity data required to operate the marketplace, including profile settings, bounty metadata, and dispute records.
Submission payloads are encrypted at rest in the API database and are only returned to authorized participants (submitter, bounty creator, or moderators). On-chain settlement records remain publicly visible by design.
Authentication uses Hive signature verification and JWT sessions. You can deactivate your account from settings, which revokes active sessions and withdraws pending submissions.
