Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum data necessary to operate and improve our service:

• Usage Data — pages visited, videos watched, watch duration, and interaction patterns (likes, shares)
• Device Information — browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and language preferences
• IP Address — used for security monitoring, spam prevention, geographic analytics, and legal compliance
• Submission Data — if you submit a video, we store the email address, video file/URL, and description you provide

How We Use Your Information

• Operating, maintaining, and improving the platform
• Preventing abuse, spam, and unauthorized access
• Communicating with submitters regarding their content
• Displaying relevant advertisements through third-party ad networks
• Generating anonymized, aggregate analytics to understand usage trends

Cookies & Tracking

Essential cookies are used for session management (login state, CSRF protection, video playback tracking). These cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the site to function.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. This data is anonymized and aggregated.

Third-party cookies may be set by our advertising partners (e.g., Adsterra) to serve relevant ads. You can manage these through your browser's cookie settings.

Third-Party Sharing

We may share anonymized, aggregate data with advertising partners to improve ad targeting. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.

In the event of a legal request (subpoena, court order, or law enforcement inquiry), we may disclose information as required by law.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Opt out of analytics tracking by adjusting your browser settings
• Withdraw previously granted consent at any time

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), secure session management, CSRF protection, and rate limiting to protect your data from unauthorized access.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of HoodAsia after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
