Hoozin Technology, Inc. (“Hoozin Technology,” “Hoozin,” “us,” “we”, or “our”) operates the Hoozin Event Invite Application (the “Service”).

This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information when you use our Service.

We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

We use your Personal Information for providing and improving the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you are not in agreement with our policies and practices, you may not use the Service. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to this privacy policy.

Information Collection and Use

While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information (“PII”) that can be used to contact or identify you. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to, your email and physical address, phone number, name, date of birth (“Personal Information”).

We collect this information (i) directly from you when you provide it to us and (ii) automatically as you navigate through the Service. Information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses, and information collected through cookies (when and as applicable).

You may (when and as applicable) need to register for an account and use your credentials from a third-party social media or other platform (i.e. payment processor), to access some or all of our Service. By downloading, installing, using and accessing the Service, you consent to our use of your username and other information (such as your friends or contacts) from those accounts. These other third parties have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read before providing your information through them.

The information we collect on or through our Service may include:

Information that you provide by filling in forms on our Service. This includes information provided at the time of registering to use our Service, subscribing to our Service, or posting material. We may also ask you for information when you report a problem with our Service.
Records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses) if you contact us.
Username and other information (such as your friends and contacts) from third-party social media accounts and third-party platforms that are utilized by the Service.
Details of transactions you carry out through our Service and of the fulfillment of your orders.
Contact List and Image information from your mobile device, limited to names, profile images and mobile numbers. Allowing access to your device’s address book to upload contacts to our servers is an optional feature that allows us to make it easier for you to invite your contacts to events that you organize, and also check which of your contacts in your device's address book are Hoozin users. It also means we can update your Hoozin contact list when your contacts who aren't using Hoozin yet sign up later. We care about your privacy and we don't share your contact list with any third parties. When you grant Hoozin access to your device address book, Hoozin will access and upload the names, profile images and mobile numbers in your address book when you access the contacts screen of the Hoozin app. We don’t collect any of the other information that could appear in your device address book. You can control access to your device’s address book from the Hoozin app. If you choose not to allow Hoozin to access your device’s address book you can still communicate with people who have Hoozin by manually entering their mobile numbers.

We collect this information for the purpose of providing the Service, identifying and communicating with you, responding to your requests/inquiries, servicing your purchase orders, and improving our services.

You may also provide information to be published or displayed (hereinafter, “posted”) on public areas of the Service, or transmitted to other users of the Service or third parties (collectively “Content”). Your Content is posted through our Service and transmitted to others at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users of the Service with whom you may choose to share your Content. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your Content will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.

California Users

The California Consumer Protection Act (“CCPA”) provides new rights to California Consumers. These include rights to access, delete, opt-out, and non-discrimination. The section provides more information about each right and how California Consumers can exercise these rights under the CCPA.

Right to access: You have the right to request that we disclose the data we collect, use and disclose, and other information relating to data we collect about you.

Right to delete: You have the right to request the deletion of data that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.

Right to opt-out: You have the right to opt-out of any “sale” of your personal information.

Right to non-discrimination: You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising the rights listed above.

To request (a) information about your Personally Identifiable Information collected, (b) deletion of your Personally Identifiable Information, or (c) opt-out of the sale of your personal information, please send an email with your request to support@hoozin.co. You may also initiate the account deletion process from the Edit Settings screen of the Hoozin app.

Only you, or someone you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete your data. An authorized agent may make a request on your behalf by providing written permission signed by you.

You must provide us with sufficient information for us to reasonably verify that you are the consumer from whom we collected the personal information. Any Personal Information you send us to verify your identity will be used for this purpose only. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to identify your personal information that we collect, process, store, disclose and otherwise use and to respond to your requests. If we are unable to verify your identity or if we suspect fraudulent activity, we may decline to comply with your request.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you understand that even if Hoozin deletes your personal information upon your request, your personal information may still be available related to certain events and the databases of the organizer of such events if such information has been transmitted to the organizer prior to Hoozin receiving or taking action on any deletion activity. In such a case, you can contact the organizer of the event directly to exercise these rights.

Please note that requests to know or delete your data as well as exercising other data protection rights will be handled by us on a case-by-case basis. There may be circumstances where we are not legally required to comply with your request because of the laws in your jurisdiction or because of exemptions provided for in data protection legislation.
