Summary

This is Hugging Face's privacy policy — the document that explains what personal information the company collects when you use its AI tools and website, how it uses that information, and who it might share it with. Hugging Face collects things like your email, IP address, payment details, and how you use the platform, and uses this to run the service, improve it, and communicate with you. If you are in the EU, you have rights to access, delete, or move your data, and you can contact privacy@huggingface.co to exercise them.
