Version 2026-10-15
PeerHive helps members find learning partners, exchange skills, participate in communities, and communicate. You are responsible for the information you submit, your account credentials, and your interactions with other members.
Do not harass, impersonate, threaten, discriminate against, or deceive others. Do not share unlawful material, malware, another person's private information, or content you do not have permission to share. Do not use PeerHive to cheat on assessments or misrepresent academic work.
Keep profile information accurate. Course and expertise labels are self-described and do not grant administrative permissions or confirm professional competence. Qualification approval is a separate process and does not guarantee the quality of a learning exchange.
Agree on expectations, availability, and meeting arrangements with your partner. Learning materials may contain mistakes. Check information before relying on it for assessed work or important decisions. Share only information you are comfortable disclosing.
You retain your rights in content you submit. You allow PeerHive to store and display that content as needed to provide the service. Administrators may review reports and remove posts or comments that violate these rules. Use the available report controls for inappropriate community content.
Features may change or become temporarily unavailable. Keep your own copies of important learning materials. Updated terms will be published here with a new version. Registration records the version accepted at that time.
Contact your PeerHive project administrator for questions about these terms or your account. Read the Privacy Policy to understand how information is handled.
Version 2026-10-16
PeerHive stores account details such as your name, email, hashed password, and profile picture; optional usernames, descriptions, course, expertise labels, school and city/campus; and activity such as availability, swaps, communities, posts, comments, messages, attachments, reactions, reports, and qualification submissions. Login security features also use verification codes, trusted-device records, session data, and activity timestamps. Registration stores the time and policy versions you accepted. Usernames are visible to members and searchable; group creation also supports lookup by a full email address.
Study-session bookings, host attendance records, participant confirmations, weekly goals, timezones, points entries, and unlocked cosmetic rewards are stored to provide schedules, personal progress, and rewards. Meeting details are shown to booked participants and the host. Progress totals and points history are available to the account owner. Any profile frame you apply is visible on your profile.
This information supports account access, peer discovery, learning exchanges, communication, qualification review, moderation, and troubleshooting. Login and password-recovery emails are sent to the address you provide through the service's configured email provider.
Your name, email, picture, description, and other existing profile activity may be visible to signed-in members. Course, expertise, school, and city/campus are optional and hidden from other members until you enable their individual profile visibility switches. You can change those switches in Profile. They do not hide information you include in messages, posts, comments, images, or documents.
Conversation participants can see messages and shared files. Administrators review qualification documents and community reports. Some uploaded files are currently served through shareable storage URLs; do not upload sensitive personal records or assume a file URL is access-restricted. Profile switches control the new profile fields, not uploads or content already copied by another person.
PeerHive uses session and security cookies for sign-in and request protection. Choosing to trust a device stores a device cookie. Hosting, email, and externally loaded assets may involve service providers. Their handling depends on the deployment configured by the project administrator.
You can edit your profile and change visibility settings. Contact the PeerHive project administrator about account deletion, access, correction, or other privacy questions. Records may remain until removed by the relevant account or content-management process; backups and security records depend on the administrator's deployment and retention arrangements.
Updates are published here with a new version. Existing accounts are not recorded as accepting a new version automatically. See the Terms and Conditions for participation rules.
