Fair Use Policy

1. It's Free

HyveHeim is free to use for anyone — researchers, journalists, students, NGOs, governments, companies, individuals. No paywall, no sign-up, no catch.

This covers the web platform, map embeds, screenshots, and data exports.

2. Credit Us

All use requires attribution. This is non-negotiable. When you cite, share, or republish HyveHeim data:

The attribution must be visible and reasonably prominent — not buried in a footnote, not hidden in mouse-over text, not in size-6 font at the bottom of page 47. We built this for free. A visible credit is the only thing we ask in return.

If we see our data, maps, or analysis used without attribution, we will request correction. Repeated failure to credit will result in access being revoked.

3. Credit Original Sources

HyveHeim aggregates intelligence from open sources across 220 countries and territories — including news agencies, government feeds, satellite data, and social media. Each event on our platform lists the original source(s) with clickable links.

When republishing specific events, you must also credit the original source outlet. Example:

This ensures compliance with copyright law and respects the journalists and organisations producing the original reporting.

4. AI-Generated Content

Event summaries on HyveHeim are generated by artificial intelligence. They are not verbatim excerpts from source articles. Our AI translates, paraphrases, and synthesises information from multiple sources into concise English summaries.

This means:

• Summaries may differ in wording from the original source
• Non-English content is machine-translated
• Multiple sources may be combined into a single summary
• Original source titles and links are always provided for verification

Always verify critical information against the original source before acting on it.

5. If You're Profiting, Help Us Keep It Running

HyveHeim is built and maintained by one person, with no investors, no ads, and no corporate backing. The platform costs real money to run — servers, APIs, infrastructure.

If you or your organisation are generating revenue from our data — whether that's news broadcasts, risk assessments, consulting reports, corporate intelligence, or any other commercial use — we ask that you contribute to keeping the platform alive.

This isn't a licence fee. It's a fair ask. You're making money from something we built for free. Help us keep building it.

6. Restrictions

Regardless of who you are:

• No weaponisation — don't use our data to target individuals, plan attacks, or facilitate violence
• No doxxing — don't use aircraft, vessel, or event data to track, harass, or endanger individuals
• No disinformation — don't fabricate, manipulate, or deliberately misrepresent our data
• No passing it off as yours — don't present HyveHeim data as your own original work

Violation of these restrictions will result in access being revoked without notice.
