Hallewood Privacy Policy

The privacy of our visitors is very important to everyone here at Hallewood. Hallewood has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for Hallewood.com, and any other website under which we conduct business.

What Information We Collect, What We Use, What We Disclose

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. Your IP address is also used to gather broad demographic information.

We use cookies on certain pages of our site. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Most cookies are "session cookies" which means that they are automatically deleted at the end of each session. A cookie itself does not have the ability to automatically collect personal information about you. A cookie can store certain information that identifies your computer to us so that you don’t have to re-enter your password as frequently when you use our site.

Our site's registration form requires users to give us contact information including your name, address and phone number, financial information including credit card numbers, and demographic information including zip code (information about age, gender and income will be optional).

We also occasionally send email to our users announcing special promotions changes in our services, and other information we believe will be of interest to our users. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Financial information that is collected is used to check the users' qualifications for registration and to bill the user for products and services. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. This information may be shared with advertisers and our partners on an individual or aggregate basis.

If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on our site, we may collect such information into a file specific to you. We use information in the file that we maintain for you, and other information that we obtain from your use of the services, to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our agreement for Terms of Use.

We have partnered with various companies, and gather information regarding items and products our partners may sell or auction. This information may be made available to those companies on an individual or aggregate basis.

We cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability.

Policies For Kids (Users Under Age 13)

Hallewood encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate in the activities offered by our site and others. No information should be submitted to or posted at Hallewood.com by users under 13 years of age without the consent of their parent or guardian. Unless otherwise disclosed during collection, Hallewood does not provide any personally identifying information, regardless of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever from our users under 13 years of age. All registrants receive an e-mail confirming their registration. In addition, when a user under 13 registers, he/she is required to provide the e-mail address of his/her parent or guardian, and that parent or guardian receives an e-mail alerting them to that registration. Since all of Hallewood's free interactive activities are kid friendly, registered users under 13 years of age may participate in such activities upon registration, unless their parent or guardian asks that their registration be invalidated. In order for a user to access the interactive services, the parent or guardian must validate the account, as described in the e-mail. No information collected from users under 13 years of age is used for any marketing or promotional purposes whatsoever, either inside or outside Hallewood.com, except as explicitly stated during registration for contests or promotions (and in that case, the information collected is used only for the specific contest or promotion). Although users under 13 years of age may be allowed to participate in some contests and promotions, if such a user wins, notification and prizes are sent to the parent or guardian identified in the initial registration process. Publication of names, ages, or images for contest winners under 13 require parental or guardian consent. We do not allow users under 13 years of age to be listed in our member directory or to receive direct marketing communications from Hallewood or to be sent third-party offers.

Policies For Teens (Users Ages 13 To 17)

Teens are required to provide the e-mail address of a parent or guardian and a notification message is sent to the parent or guardian of all users who are 13 to 17 years of age, which identifies the information supplied at registration and allows the parent or guardian to be aware of and participate in the user's online experience.
