Privacy Notice
You do not need an account or login to read RoboHot's public content. We process relevant information to provide news, handle feedback, maintain security and understand visits, and we do not sell personal information.

1. Browser data and search requests
Bookmarks, read history, appearance settings, recent search terms (up to 10), changelog read status and unsubmitted feedback drafts are stored locally in your current browser. Return positions, scroll positions and expanded states use the current tab's session storage and are cleared when that tab closes. Bookmarks, read history and appearance settings can be exported and imported through the site.
These local records are not uploaded as a complete set to form a server-side account profile and do not automatically synchronize across devices. Clearing website data in your browser also resets the corresponding local records and settings.
When you run a search, the query is sent to our server for retrieval and may appear in the results page's URL parameters. Text, an email address or a screenshot that you choose to submit as feedback is also sent to the server. Local records not being automatically synchronized does not mean that no action sends data.
2. Analytics and Umami Cloud
RoboHot uses Umami Cloud to understand traffic trends, referral sources and device compatibility on public pages. Analytics may include page paths, referring pages, browser and operating-system categories, device and screen information, language, times and visit counts, as well as regional or visit statistics derived by the service from network requests.
Before sending analytics, the site removes query parameters and fragments from the current page and referrer URLs, so search terms and similar URL parameters are not sent directly as analytics content. Administrator-page visit events are excluded from visitor analytics. This does not change the search request itself or mean that servers do not receive URL parameters while handling requests.
Umami analytics do not depend on the site's administrator login cookie. The analytics service receives relevant network information when handling requests; see its documentation and Data Processing Agreement for its processing practices. RoboHot uses the Umami Cloud Hobby plan, which retains online analytics data for 6 months; see the official retention information. RoboHot has not yet verified this account's specific storage region. Contact the operator to request clarification.
Local bookmark, read-history and feedback-draft records are not uploaded to form an account profile.
3. Feedback, email and screenshots
When you submit feedback, we store the text, optional email address, relevant page URL, any screenshot you choose to upload, handling status and necessary handling records to investigate, reply and follow up. An email address is processed only if you provide it. Submit only information needed to handle the issue.
The current deployment does not forward feedback to an internal Feishu chat. Feedback and screenshots are stored on our server. Administrators may view submitted screenshots to handle feedback; RoboHot currently sets no fixed automatic deletion period for feedback text, email, page URLs or screenshots. Administrators may erase them according to handling needs or verified deletion requests.
If feedback forwarding is enabled or the processing service changes, this notice will be updated to identify the recipient and actual processing arrangements.
4. Security, rate limiting and operational logs
While handling requests, servers receive network addresses, request paths, browser information and related data to return content and maintain security. Feedback abuse controls compute a keyed hash from the network address and browser category for rate limiting, identifying repeated abuse and blocking sources. This identifier is not a login account or public attribution.
Application logs may record request times, methods, paths, response statuses, processing durations, failures and operational activity. Application API logs omit URL query parameters and apply protections to authentication information. This does not mean that every network layer, server or third-party service has identical logging settings.
Operational logs, rate-limit identifiers, handling records and backups are retained under their respective actual configurations and maintenance processes. RoboHot has not yet verified their full rotation and expiry cycles. Contact the operator with access or deletion requests concerning these records.
5. Administrator login and cookies
Ordinary readers do not need to log in to view public content. Administrators must authenticate to use the management area. Session cookies maintain login and protect against request forgery; administrator sessions currently last 30 days, and authentication is required again after logout or invalidation.
Administrator login may also involve account identifiers, display names, email addresses, login times, browser information and audit records. If an administrator uses Feishu login, authentication also involves Feishu. Ordinary readers are not required to use that login method.
6. Retention and backups
Different information is handled separately:
- Local browser records remain until you clear them, a feature replaces them or a local storage limit is reached. Tab-session state is cleared when the corresponding tab closes.
- Administrator sessions currently last 30 days. Account data and security audit records have separate retention arrangements.
- Feedback text, email, page URLs and screenshots currently have no fixed automatic deletion period. Administrators may erase them according to handling needs and verified deletion requests; necessary handling records are retained separately.
- Online analytics data on the Umami Cloud Hobby plan is retained for 6 months. This is separate from backup retention; the provider's backup copies follow its ordinary retention and backup cycles. This account's specific storage region has not yet been verified.
- Server operational logs, rate-limit identifiers and backups are retained under actual operational configurations and maintenance processes; their full retention cycles have not yet been verified.
Backups are separate from data in active use. After online material is erased, backup copies leave retention through the applicable replacement and backup process. Erasure from every backup and third-party system at the same instant cannot be promised.
7. Your choices and access or deletion requests
You can omit an email address or screenshot, or choose not to use feedback. Browser controls can clear local website data, restrict scripts, or stop use of related features. Clearing local data does not erase feedback already submitted or statistics already generated on a server.
To request access to, correction of or deletion of information associated with you, use the feedback page and provide necessary details such as the feedback number, submission time, relevant page and email address you used. We will handle requests to the extent that the association can be verified and do not ask for unrelated identity documents or other sensitive material.
The current administrator erasure function clears the corresponding feedback text, email, page URL and local screenshot while retaining necessary handling records. It does not automatically delete historical messages already forwarded to a third party. Backup or third-party copies are handled through the actual mechanisms, with the scope explained as appropriate.
8. Public sources and third-party content
RoboHot collects material from public sources and may use model services for selection, summaries, translation, grouping and editions. These processes handle source material; visitors' local bookmarks, read history and unsubmitted feedback drafts do not thereby become model inputs.
Following an original-source or other external link takes you to that website and its rules. Refer to third-party services' own documentation for their processing practices. RoboHot does not make unverified retention or erasure promises on another provider's behalf.
9. Updates and contact
Changes to actual processing will be reflected in the version and effective details of this notice. Changes that materially affect normal use will be explained through appropriate channels. Chinese and English should describe the same processing practices.
