Privacy.

Information you provide

Video submissions may include a source link, category, optional name and email, and your notes. Contact messages include your name, email, topic, message, and an optional clip URL. Editor accounts include authentication details managed through our database provider.

Information collected automatically

We assign a random browser identifier to count page views, clip views, reactions, and shares. We do not attach this first-party analytics identifier to your name or email. Essential cookies or browser storage may also remember sign-in status, reactions, sensitive-preview choices, feed position, and similar site preferences.

How we use information

• Review, moderate, and respond to submissions and messages.
• Operate authentication and protect the editor panel.
• Understand which pages and clips are useful.
• Detect duplicate submissions, spam, abuse, and technical problems.
• Handle credit, safety, legal, and removal requests.

Service providers and embeds

We use service providers for hosting, databases, authentication, and temporary media storage. Published pages may include media from services such as YouTube, Vimeo, Reddit, or X. Those services may receive technical information when their media loads and handle it under their own policies.

Sharing and sale

We do not sell personal information. We disclose information to service providers that help operate the site, when you ask us to, or when reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance, or protecting rights and safety.

Retention and security

We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, including moderation records and legal obligations. Rejected temporary media is designed to expire automatically. No online service can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

You can block or clear cookies and local storage through your browser, though some features may stop working. To ask about, correct, or request deletion of information you provided, use the contact form. We may need to verify your request and may retain information when legally permitted or required.

Children

Hoodrat.tv is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information.

Changes

We may update this policy as the service changes. The effective date above will be updated when material revisions are posted.
