Privacy — News by Hottub

News by Hottub (https://hottub.news) is operated by Hottub, Inc. (https://joinhottub.com). Updated 2026-11-05.

What we collect

• Reading the API, feeds, pages or MCP: no account and no cookies. Requests pass through Cloudflare and AWS, which process your IP address to deliver and protect the service; we use it briefly for rate limiting and don't store it with your requests.
• Add to CRM: the details of a company or person you add travel to CRM by Hottub in the part of the address after the #, which browsers never send to us. Nothing about it is recorded here.
• Optional API keys: the name and contact you give when creating a key, the key's hash (never the key itself), and daily request counts per key.
• Subscriptions: the query and webhook URL you register, delivery status and errors.
• Paid placements: business details sent by Hottub Business for labeling (see joinhottub.com's privacy policy for payment data).

What we don't do

We don't sell data, profile readers, or run ad trackers. Links and pictures from publishers load without a referrer from our pages. Fonts are served from here, not a font service.

Models

Headlines are embedded and classified on our own servers, and translated and summarized by Amazon Nova on AWS Bedrock (which doesn't use them for training). Search queries are embedded to find matching stories and are not stored.
