Hut12 Platform Policy

Hut 12 gives people tools to make them more effective and connected at work. By accessing the Hut 12 API, you agree to the below policies:

2.      Don’t use email, phone numbers, or any other contact information obtained from Hut 12 APIs for communication on another channel (example: mailing lists). 

3.      Sharing Customer Data. Unless expressly authorized by a user, you will not share data obtained through the Hut 12 API in any manner which is inconsistent with the restrictions imposed by the Hut 12 Privacy Policy and the laws of the jurisdiction of both you and the User. Non-limiting examples of this are provided below:

1.      Don’t transfer any data, including app secrets and access tokens, you obtain through the Hut 12 API, either in aggregated or individualized form, to any third party (ex: ad provider, ad network, data broker, or another developer).

3.      Don’t create cross-user benchmarks or comparisons. 

4.      Securing Customer Data. You must implement reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational security measures in accordance with the best industry practices to ensure the protection of Customer data and any API access tokens you obtain against loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and/or destruction.
