What This Policy Covers. This policy covers how HotDoodle, a service provided by Metabyte, Inc. (hereinafter “HotDoodle”), treats personally identifiable information that we obtain when you visit the HotDoodle.com website or use the HotDoodle service (the “Service”).

We regard personally identifiable information as information that someone can use to identify or contact you in person, such as real name, telephone number, birth date, email address, or physical mailing address. Information that we use internally to identify you as a user in our system, such as your selected username, is not considered personally identifiable information.

Please note that this policy does not cover the specific privacy practices of the sites created, built or edited by a HotDoodle Member or visitor. Each site created, built or edited by a HotDoodle Member should have its own terms of service and/or privacy policy separate and apart from this policy.

What This Policy Does Not Cover. This policy does not cover the privacy practices of third parties that we do not own or control, such as our partners and advertisers. Likewise, this Policy does not cover the online privacy practices of any of the Members of the Service whether or not they create websites using the tools supplied by the Service or host their sites through the Service. In addition, we may provide links to other services and on occasion to other sites that may interest you. All of these sites operate independently of HotDoodle and they have their own privacy or security practices. For your best on-line experience, we encourage you to review the policies of any of these third parties before submitting any personal information to them.
