Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide a better streaming experience to our users, including:

• Account Information: When you register on Hento, we collect your username, email address, and hashed passwords.
• Usage History: We keep track of your viewing logs (watch history, progress tracking timestamps) and reading logs (last page read) to allow playback resuming across your devices.
• Device & Connection data: IP addresses, browser agents, operating system information, and local cookies used to identify session state.

2. How We Use Information

The information we log is used for the following functions:

• Maintaining and validating your active authenticated session.
• Enabling "Continue Watching" and "Continue Reading" bookmark counters.
• Generating aggregate search metadata to update "Trending Searches" values.
• Analyzing platform activity metrics to improve streaming stability.

3. Cookies & Session Persistence

We use secure cookies (such as the HTTP-only authentication token cookie) to recognize your device and persist your login state securely. You can control cookie preferences in your browser settings, though disabling cookies may disable account login features.

4. Data Security

We prioritize protecting your data. Hashed passwords use cryptographic bcrypt algorithms to restrict unauthorized security access. Standard transport protocols (TLS/HTTPS) are applied to transmit data safely to PostgreSQL endpoints.

5. User Rights

You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal account information stored in our database. To delete your account or viewing logs, contact the Hento support email or delete cookies to terminate session stores.
