Privacy Policy
This policy explains the categories of information Eli handles, why it is needed and the choices available to account users.
Last updated: 19 October 2026
Information we handle
- Account details such as your name, email address, authentication records and workspace role.
- Company and onboarding details such as websites, competitors, buyer questions, brand information and publishing preferences.
- Content, instructions and files you submit or connect, plus the results and approvals created while using the service.
- Technical and usage information such as device, browser, IP address, page activity, security events and feature interactions.
- Subscription and transaction references from our payment provider. Eli does not need your full card number to operate your account.
- Messages you send to support or during sales and onboarding conversations.
Why we use information
- Create and secure your account, remember your workspace and provide the features you request.
- Run monitoring, research, content, publishing and reporting workflows configured for your workspace.
- Process subscriptions, provide support and communicate service or security information.
- Measure product performance, diagnose problems, prevent abuse and improve the service.
- Meet legal obligations and enforce applicable agreements.
Service providers and connected tools
We use service providers for functions such as hosting, authentication, analytics, email and payment processing. They receive only the information needed for their role and process it under their own applicable terms and our arrangements with them.
When you connect a CMS, analytics account, search service or another integration, information is exchanged as needed to perform the action you request. When a feature uses an AI or search provider, the prompt and relevant context needed for that request may be sent to that provider.
Cookies and similar storage
Eli uses necessary browser storage and cookies to authenticate you, protect sessions and remember account choices. These are required for Eli to work and are not used for advertising.
When you arrive from an AI assistant, Eli may show a small source-aware continuation. Before you choose it, that control makes no attribution request and stores no visit state. If you choose to continue, Eli processes the source, current page and choices needed to provide the requested answer and next step.
We count visits to hireeli.io anonymously, without cookies, for every visitor whose browser does not send Global Privacy Control. Three counts run on public pages only, never inside your account. Vercel Web Analytics records the page viewed (its path, without the query string; an id or a company domain in the path is replaced by a placeholder), the referring site, and the country, device type, browser and operating system it reads from the request; it sets no cookie, and Vercel states that it tells visits apart only with a hash of the request that is discarded within a day. Eli's own counter adds one to a daily total for the page a visit landed on and the kind of source it came from (an AI assistant, search, social media, email, ads, direct or another website), and stores nothing else: no IP address, no browser details, no identifier. Neither of these two counts sets or reads cookies or local storage, and the totals cannot be used to recognise you or follow you across visits or other websites. DataFast (datafa.st), in its cookieless mode, records the page viewed, the referring site and the screen size; it sets no cookie, and keeps a random session and visitor id in your browser's session storage, which the browser deletes when you close the tab. We rely on our legitimate interest in measuring, in aggregate, how many people visit and where they come from.
With your permission, we also use Google Analytics, PostHog, Vercel Analytics custom events and Eli analytics to understand page and product interactions, and the Meta Pixel and Meta Conversions API to measure advertising results. These optional tools may process page activity, campaign information, device and browser details, IP address and identifiers such as Meta click or browser IDs.
Optional analytics and marketing tracking stays off until you choose Accept all or enable it in Privacy choices. You can reject it or change your choice at any time with the Privacy choices button. Eli treats a Global Privacy Control signal as a request to keep all optional tracking off, and then does not count your visit anonymously either.
How long information is kept
We keep information for as long as needed to provide the account, maintain security and records, resolve disputes and meet legal obligations. Retention can differ by data type. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or remove identifying details where practical.
Security and international processing
We use technical and organizational safeguards intended to protect account information. No online system can promise absolute security. Providers may process information in countries other than your own, subject to the protections required for the relevant relationship and location.
Your choices
You can update many workspace details in the product. You may also ask to access, correct or delete personal information, or raise a privacy objection, by emailing us. Some information may need to be retained for security, billing or legal reasons. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to withdraw consent or opt out of targeted advertising, sale or sharing. Use Privacy choices to turn off optional analytics and marketing tracking.
Children
Eli is a business service and is not directed to children. Do not create an account if you are not legally able to agree to the service terms in your location.
Policy updates
We may update this policy as the service or legal requirements change. The date above identifies the current version. If an update materially changes how active customer information is handled, we will use a reasonable method to provide notice.
