Privacy Policy

Profile

As part of the social-networking aspect of Streetscrack.com called myHood, some Personal Information of Members and postings may be automatically displayed to the public on myHood as part of a Member’s profile page. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information that you disclose publicly or allow to be part of your Member profile page. A Member’s profile page is, by default, set up to display information such as the Member’s display name within the myHood Community, thumbnail image, age, gender, location (city/state/country), friends, communities that the Member has joined, recent activity Feed, and optional information added by the Member including, for example, the Member’s tagline, relationship status, occupation, interests, favorites (music, movies, etc.). Member profiles are public (unless made private) and postings to myHood and the forums are public, and therefore can be indexed by third-party search engines and appear in search results on third-party web sites. We reserve the right to make any changes or to terminate any account on Streetscrack.com without notice as we see fit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Regardless of which profile modules a Member removes from public view, the Member’s thumbnail, display name, general location, and gender may still appear publicly: (i) as a search result if another Member conducts a community search using matching criteria, such as location, gender, age criteria, etc.; and (ii) on myHood that displays featured thumbnails, for example, pages showing most active Members, recent Members, most popular Members, etc.

NOTE TO PARENTS ABOUT CHILDREN

The myHood Community is not directed to children younger than 13, and we do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children younger than 13. If you are younger than 13, do not send any information about yourself to us. If we discover that a person younger than 13 or the required greater age per applicable eligibility requirements has provided us with Personal Information, we will delete the Personal Information and may remove the account.

LINKS

The myHood community site and portions of Streetscrack.com may contain links to other web sites, whose information practices may be different from ours. You could be directed to other web pages or online content through links that are beyond our control. These other web pages may set their own cookies, collect data, and/or have their own privacy policies. This Privacy Policy only covers information collected by us at Streetscrack.com, and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any other web site you visit.

PHISHING

Phishing attacks attempt to steal consumers' personal identity data and financial account credentials. "Phishers" use 'spoofed' e-mails to lead consumers to counterfeit websites designed to trick recipients into divulging Personal Information such as credit card numbers, account usernames, passwords, and social security numbers. WE DO NOT SEND E-MAILS ASKING YOU TO PROVIDE OR CONFIRM SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION OR YOUR USERNAME OR PASSWORD! If you receive such a fraudulent e-mail communication, please do not reply or respond to it. You may contact us using the Contact form.

Cookies

Streetscrack may write and read so-called cookies and DART cookies to store the preferences, search keywords or login information of users to serve advertisements better and to make the access of their profile easier.

Information sharing and disclosure

Streetscrack may provide business partners with non-personal information related to search terms and/or downloads. We do not sell, rent or otherwise share your personal information with any third parties except in the limited circumstances described in this privacy policy, or if we are forced to do so by law. We may change our privacy policy at any time without notice.
