Terms and Conditions

Last updated: June 23, 2025

Welcome to Hint! By using our services, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with one or more points, please do not use the platform and we thank you for your cooperation.

1. Service Description


Hint is a platform that allows anonymous posting of text posts. You do not need to create an account to read posts. However, to comment, favorite a post (by clicking the heart), or access advanced features, you can create an account completely free of charge.

All published content is publicly visible, whether submitted by anonymous or registered users.

2. Account Creation and Management (Optional)


a) Registration

You can create an account by providing a valid email address and choosing a secure password known only to you.

You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activities performed through your account.

b) Account Management

You can delete your account and associated data at any time using the deletion feature in your profile or by contacting support at support@we-hint.com.

It is your responsibility to provide accurate information and keep it up to date.

3. Personal Data


We collect only the data necessary for the functioning of the service, including email, username, registration date, and password (stored encrypted; staff have no access to it).

Your data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

You have the right to request modification or deletion of your personal data.

4. User-Generated Content


a) Content Ownership

You retain intellectual property rights to the content you post. However, you grant Hint a global, non‐exclusive, royalty‐free license to host, reproduce, distribute, and display your content on the platform.

b) Prohibited Content

You agree not to post content that:

  • Violates applicable laws or regulations
  • Is offensive, defamatory, or incites hate or violence
  • Infringes intellectual property, copyright, or privacy rights
  • Contains spam, malware, phishing, or deceptive links
  • Contains personal data of others (faces, sensitive data, personal details, contacts, addresses), under no circumstances, not even with the explicit consent of the person concerned.

c) Prohibited Multimedia Content

It is strictly prohibited to post images, videos, or other multimedia content containing:

  • Violent, discriminatory, sexist, or hate-inciting content (gore)
  • Pornographic and/or child‐pornographic material
  • Personal data of third parties (faces, sensitive information, personal details, contacts, addresses), under no circumstances, even with explicit consent.
  • References to illegal activities (e.g., drug trafficking, weapons, etc.) as defined by applicable law.

Violation of any of the above will result in a ban. What does a ban on Hint entail? Your account will remain active, but you will lose access to core features (e.g., posting hints, commenting, advanced features). You will still be able to view notifications, posts, and others’ comments or proceed to delete your own account.

5. Moderation


a) AI‐Powered Automatic Moderation

Submitted content is analyzed in real time by AI algorithms and then by our team to detect community rule violations. This analysis is anonymous.

b) Human Review

Content flagged by AI or users is reviewed by human moderators to ensure correct rule enforcement. In case of violations, the team reserves the right to:

  • Remove content deemed inappropriate
  • Permanently restrict user access to the platform (ban)

c) Reporting

If you believe content violates the Terms of Service, you can report it using the dedicated feature or by contacting abuse@we-hint.com.

6. Rooms


Rooms (duo, group, party) are spaces for discussion. In them you can:

  • Discuss content and topics with mutual respect
  • Share personal opinions and viewpoints that respect others’ safety and dignity

It is prohibited to:

  • Offend, denigrate, or harass other users
  • Share personal data of others
  • Use vulgar or discriminatory language or incite violence

7. User Content Liability


Hint allows users to post content independently. Although a moderation system is in place (described in section 5), we assume no responsibility for user-posted content. Each user is directly responsible for their own submitted content, including comments, posts, or other material.

For users aged 16 to 17 (the minimum age to access the platform), responsibility for site use and posted content lies with parents or legal guardians. By using the site, such users confirm they have obtained parental or guardian consent.

8. Limitation of Liability


To the maximum extent permitted by law, Hint and its affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the use of the service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties


We provide no express or implied warranties, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

10. Indemnification


You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Hint, its officers, directors, and employees from any claim, liability, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the service or breach of these Terms.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction


These Terms are governed by Italian law. Any disputes will be resolved in the competent courts of Rome, Italy.

12. Intellectual Property


All platform content, including logos, text, design, and technologies, is owned by Hint and respective rights holders. Reproducing, duplicating, or commercially exploiting any element without prior written authorization from Hint and the rights holders is prohibited.

13. Scope of Legal Matters


These Terms apply solely to facts, behaviors, and disputes arising on the Hint platform. Hint does not recognize or intervene in disputes, proceedings, or legal matters outside the context of Hint’s services. Any disputes or legal actions between users regarding matters external to the platform do not involve or bind Hint.
