Privacy Policy

This service is operated by HunterXtop Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (頂尖獵人數位科技股份有限公司). Bonfire and HunterXtop are two products of the same company, but they are separate account systems: unless you link them yourself, data does not move between them.

For questions about personal data, please write to hello@bonfire.tw.

We only collect what is necessary to provide the service. Mainly the following:

We use your data only for the following purposes:

Bonfire has a few AI-assisted features: helping you tidy up a spark description, suggesting roles and skill tags, recommending people who might fit, and drafting reference text for an agreement.

When you use these features, the text you type or select at that moment is sent through Vercel AI Gateway to a model provider (Anthropic Claude, with OpenAI as fallback) for processing, and the result is returned to you.

What the AI produces is a suggestion. The decision is yours. The AI does not submit applications for you, does not conclude agreements for you, and does not decide who you work with.

We do not give your data to model providers for training their models.

We use the following third-party services to operate Bonfire. Each has its own privacy policy and security measures, and we engage them only to the extent necessary to provide Bonfire:

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure how the site is used: how many people visit, which pages they look at, and where they came from.

We chose this tool because it is relatively respectful of privacy: it does not use cookies, does not leave an identifier on your device, does not build a cross-site profile of you, and does not identify who you are. What we receive is aggregated, anonymous numbers, not individual browsing records.

We have not installed Google Analytics, advertising pixels, or any cross-site ad tracking.

Please note: Bonfire is fundamentally a place for people to find each other, so some data is meant to be seen by others.

You may choose to sign in to Bonfire with LINE. When you do, we obtain your LINE user ID, display name, profile picture and email address from LINE.

The email address is used to create your account and to send notifications the platform needs to work: registration results, someone applying to your spark, an agreement waiting to be signed, a password reset. We do not use it to send marketing.

You can choose not to provide your email on LINE's consent screen. You can still use Bonfire without it, but we will ask you to fill in an email address on the site — without one you will not receive those notifications, and you will not be able to sign agreements or reset your password.

We do not obtain your LINE friend list or your chats, and we never post or send messages from your LINE account.

You can unlink LINE at any time in settings. Before you do, please make sure you still have another way to sign in.

Linking a HunterXtop account is entirely optional. Once linked, we store a snapshot of the trust information you have already made public on HunterXtop and show it on your Bonfire profile, so the people you work with have more to go on.

You can unlink at any time; after that the snapshot is no longer shown on Bonfire.

We only use cookies necessary to run the service. We do not place advertising trackers:

While your account exists, we keep your data so the service can work. Once you delete your account from the account settings page, we immediately delete everything that identifies you: name, email address, avatar, bio, sign-in links, and push device identifiers.

Because of the nature of collaboration evidence, agreement records, revenue amounts and their hashes that have already been established are kept in de-identified form and shown on the site as "a deleted user" — otherwise the records held by other participants would be broken. After deletion, your original email address can be used to register again.

Error logs and audit logs are kept only for as long as necessary.

Under the Personal Data Protection Act of the Republic of China (Taiwan), you may request to inquire about, review, obtain a copy of, supplement or correct your personal data, and you may request that we stop collecting, processing or using it, or delete it.

Most of it you can change yourself on the settings and profile pages. For anything else, write to hello@bonfire.tw and we will reply within a reasonable time.

Bonfire is not designed for children. If you are under eighteen, please use it with the consent of your legal guardian. If we find that we have collected a minor's data without such consent, we will delete it on our own initiative.

We may update this policy as the service changes. Where there is a significant change we will announce it on the site or notify you by email. The date shown at the top of this page is the last updated date.
