If you do not agree to the Terms and Conditions for Accessing Website and Privacy Policy, you are not permitted to access the Website and you should not do so.
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ACCESSING THE HOODHOOT WEBSITE AND PRIVACY POLICY. THE ACT BY YOU OF ACCESSING THIS WEBSITE USING ANY PART OF THE CONTENTS OF THE SITE, USING ANY PART OF THE SERVICES THEREON, FOLLOWING ANY LINK ON THE WEBSITE OR MAKING ANY PURCHASE ON THE WEBSITE OR ON ANY OTHER WEBSITE ACCESSED THROUGH A LINK FROM THE WEBSITE CONSTITUTES YOUR EXPRESS ACCEPTANCE OF ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE TO THE EXCLUSION OF ANY TERMS AND CONDITIONS NOT EXPRESSLY SPECIFIED HEREIN.
We reserve the right to change or otherwise update this Terms and Conditions for Accessing Website and Privacy Policy at any time. Such changes or updates are effective immediately after we give notice of the change or update, which we may do by revising the “Last Updated” date of this Terms and Conditions for Accessing Website and Privacy Policy or by otherwise posting on the Website, or by email or conventional mail, and/or by any other means which provides reasonable notice. Your use of the Website after such notice is posted means that you accept these changes or updates.

We understand and respect your desire for privacy. To that end, we would like you to know how we use the personal information you provide to us.
HoodHoot is an online community where the content is provided by you, the user, as well as third party sites. You are responsible for the content that you post on HoodHoot and any content that you post on any content from a third party site. Anything you post may be accessed and viewed by anyone who can access the HoodHoot website or the third party sites. The HoodHoot website is organized by community and region so that each separate community or region has its own HoodHoot online community. Anything you post can be accessed by your friends and neighbors around the block or people around the world. To those ends, we may (both directly and through third parties) collect personally identifying information when you register for the Website. This personally identifiable information may include, without limitation, your name, zip code, and email address. We may also collect non-personally-identifiable information (such as your IP address or domain, or about your use of the Website) both directly and through third parties, including through the use of Web beacons, for purposes of administration for the Website and to compile aggregate information about usage of the Website.
You may be asked for your credit card information in connection with a purchase from companies advertising on or through links accessed through the Website. Your credit card information, along with the personal identifying information you submit, may be stored in the Website database for payment, not deleted and never provided to any third parties, except to third party financial institutions to verify the credit card numbers and to authorize the processing of the transaction. If you make a purchase from a website you accessed through the HoodHoot Website your credit card information, along with the personal identifying information you submit, may be stored on such third-party website. Be sure to review all privacy policies published by our third-party providers and contact them directly if you have questions as they may have privacy terms that differ from our Privacy Policy.
We maintain the Website in a manner to help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security and to make proper use of the information that we collect. However, no transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. Thus, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot absolutely guarantee the security of any information you provide to us.
To unsubscribe from any communications from us, please email Support@hoodhoot.com and ask to be taken off any or all mailings.
The fact that you have signed on the HoodHoot website means that you are representing to us that you are at least 13 years old and if you are not yet 18 years old that you have the consent of your parent or guardian to access the HoodHoot website. If you are not at least 13 years of age or if you are under 18 years of age and do not have the consent of your parent or guardian to be on the HoodHoot website, you do not have permission to be on the HoodHoot website and we require that exit the HoodHoot website immediately. No information should be submitted to the Website by any person who is not at least 13 years of age or by a Minor (a user under 18 years of age) without parental consent. Unless otherwise disclosed during collection, we do not knowingly provide any personally identifying information about Minors, regardless of its source, to third parties, nor is this information knowingly used by us for any marketing or promotional purposes.
We may collect personal information from the Website users over 18 years of age in order to provide users with a personalized online experience. We may share the personal and aggregate information we collect with our affiliates and other sites operated by and for us. On a confidential basis, we may also share personal information with our corporate affiliates or consultants, or with third parties that perform a particular service on our behalf (such as fulfilling orders or for general administration purposes for the Website). We may elect to share aggregate information with third parties for marketing and promotional purposes. If all or part of the HoodHoot website is merged or is otherwise transferred to another entity, the information you have provided on or through the Website may be transferred to such entity as part of that transaction. We may also disclose personal information in response to legal process, such as a request by law enforcement, a court order or subpoena, or to protect the integrity of the Website if we believe that a user has committed unlawful or otherwise harmful acts.
With the permission of users 18 years or older, information submitted at the time of registration or submission may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by us.
If any individual submits content for publication, we may publish his or her name and any other information submitted by that individual.
A California privacy law that went into effect on January 1, 2005, the "Shine the Light" law, allows California residents to obtain a list of third parties to whom a business has disclosed personal information if it shares such information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. However, if a business adopts and discloses in its privacy policy a policy of not disclosing customers’ personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and by providing a cost-free means to exercise that right.
As stated earlier in this Privacy Policy, personal information submitted at the time of registration or submission may be used for marketing and promotional purposes only with the user’s permission. Whenever a user agrees to allow us to collect personal information, we provide the user with an option to prevent such information from being shared for marketing and promotional purposes with third parties. Furthermore, you may exercise this cost-free option at any time by clicking on the link below:
Email: Support@hoodhoot.com if you wish to opt-out.
Because the Website has a comprehensive privacy policy and provides you with details on how you may opt-in or opt-out of the use of your personal information by third parties for direct marketing purposes, we are not required to provide you with the third party list.
If you purchase a product or service from the Website, information may be collected from you, including your credit card and contact information, for transfer to and use by third party providers of the product or service. Unless otherwise stated, we do not have any responsibility in connection with such purchases and all transactions and use of any customer information are the sole responsibility of the product/service provider. Be sure to review the product/service provider's privacy policy and contact them directly if you have any questions. They may have privacy terms that differ from our Privacy Policy.
The Website may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that HoodHoot is not responsible for the privacy and other practices of such other sites. HoodHoot is not responsible for the quality or suitability of products purchased from other websites, for delay and/or errors in shipping products purchased from other websites or for any other problems or disputes arising from your using a link on the HoodHoot website to another website. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave the Website and to read the privacy statements, terms of use and rules and procedures concerning purchases made from each and every website accessed through a link on the HoodHoot website. This statement of Terms and Conditions for Accessing Website and Privacy Policy applies solely to the HoodHoot website.
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever you log on to the Web. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address, so when a user requests pages from the Website, our servers log the user's IP address. The IP addresses of our users are collected only for the purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers, our corporate affiliates or consultants, or with third parties that perform a particular service on our behalf. We do not combine IP addresses with any personally identifying information, nor do we compile any session activity reports by IP address.
In cyberspace, cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes.
Cookies make Web surfing easier for you by saving your passwords, purchases and preferences while you're online. The use of cookies is an industry standard. You'll find them at most major websites.
We use cookies to help us see which areas are popular and which are not. This helps us to improve and update the Website based on such data as total number of users and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies.
A cookie allows us to store the personal preferences that you set during each visit to the Website, which in turn allows us to speed up your future activities at the Website. Similarly, the stores hosted by the Website usually use cookies to track which products, services or virtual gifts you've chosen to purchase while shopping, if any. Letting cookies do the record keeping saves you the trouble of entering information over and over again. If you have registered to access the subscriber-only portion of the Website, an identifying cookie will be placed on your computer. During future visits to the Website, we will only read and retrieve information that we set in a cookie during an earlier visit to the Website.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you'd prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some parts of the Website will not function properly if you do so.
All disputes shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, any conflict of laws rule to the contrary notwithstanding, to the greatest extent possible without violating any law. You consent to the confidential arbitration of any dispute, with such arbitration to be held in the City of New York before a three-judge panel in conformance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You consent to the binding effect of any such arbitration. You consent that the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of Queens and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction of any action which you may bring. You consent that, to the greatest extent permissible by law, you will not bring or join any class action against HoodHoot or any owner or employee thereof.
