At Huuk.ai ("Huuk," "we," "us"), we are fully aware of the trust you place in us when it comes to your personal information. This Privacy Policy details the nature of the information that Huuk will collect when you interact with the Huuk platform, clarifies how this information will be utilized, and outlines the options available to you for managing the collection, correction, and deletion of your information. Rest assured, we are committed to handling your information exclusively as stated within this Privacy Policy and will not share it with any third parties otherwise. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not cover the information that we may collect through other means (such as offline activities) or from sources other than the Huuk platform. Any capitalized terms not defined within this Privacy Policy are ascribed to the meanings stipulated in our Terms of Use.
Information We Collect
User-Provided Information:
When you sign up for a membership account on the Huuk platform - or link Huuk to your social media profile - you entrust us with personal details such as your name, postal address, email, telephone number and your preferences in travel. As you interact with our platform, you might also share insights into your social networks or enable us to access your location, always according to your privacy settings on Huuk. Any emails you send us won’t just disappear into the ether; we’ll keep a record of our conversations, including your contact details and our replies, to ensure we’re fully responsive to your needs. And let’s not forget the content you contribute to our platform—every message you send or post you make is captured, helping us to understand better and engage with the Huuk community.
Cookies Information
When you visit the Platform, we may send one or more cookies – a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters – to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and lets Huuk help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the site. A cookie may also convey anonymous information about how you browse the Platform to us. A cookie does not collect personal information about you. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Platform may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.
Log File Information
Each time you visit a web page, your browser automatically reports log file information. Similarly, when you engage with our Platform, our servers automatically document specific information transmitted by your web browser during any website visit. This recorded data in our server logs may encompass details such as your web request, the type of browser used, referring and exit pages, URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, and the pages you viewed. Additionally, the server logs capture the first three octets of your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. This process ensures that we maintain accurate and secure records of your interactions with the platform.
How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information you submit to operate, maintain, and provide the Platform's features and functionality.
By providing Huuk your email address (including by adding the Huuk application to a social network), you consent to our using the email address to send you notices via email, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. You also agree that we may send you notifications of activity on the Platform to the email address you give us in accordance with any applicable privacy settings. From time to time, Huuk may ask you for explicit consent to use your email address to send you other messages, such as newsletters, changes to features of the Platform, or special offers. If you do not want to receive such messages, you may opt-out or change your preferences in your settings. Opting out may prevent you from receiving messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers. You may not opt out of Platform-related messages.
Following the termination or deactivation of your Member account, Huuk may retain your profile information and User Content for a commercially reasonable time for backup, archival, or audit purposes. Furthermore, Huuk may retain and continue to use indefinitely all information (including User Content) contained in your communications to other Users or posted to public or semi-public areas of the Platform after termination or deactivation of your member account.
If you choose to use our invitation platform to invite a friend to the Platform, we will ask you for that person’s email address and automatically send an email invitation. Huuk stores this information to send this email, to register your friend if your invitation is accepted, and to track the success of our invitation platform. Your friend may contact us to request that we remove this information from our database at [email protected]
Huuk may use certain information about you and/or your User Content internally for purposes such as analysing how the Platform is used, diagnosing platform or technical problems, maintaining security, and personalizing content.
Huuk reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor the User Content you post on the Platform. We reserve the right to remove any such information or material for any reason or no reason, including without limitation if, in our sole opinion, such information or material violates, or may violate, any applicable law or our Terms of Use Agreement or to protect or defend our rights or property or those of any third party. Huuk also reserves the right to remove information upon the request of any third party.
We use cookies and log file information to (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our Platform; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, and demographic patterns; (e) diagnose or fix technology problems reported by our Users or engineers that are associated with certain IP addresses; (f) help you efficiently access your information after you sign in; and (h) track User Content; and (i) automatically update Huuk on your system and related devices.
How can I withdraw my consent to the use of Cookies?
When you first access our platforms, we ask you to confirm if you’re ok with us using Cookies in line with this policy. If you don’t agree to our use of these technologies, or you change your mind at a later date, you can either withdraw your consent using the methods set out below or, alternatively, stop using our platforms.
How We Share Your Information
Personally Identifiable Information
Huuk will not rent or sell your personally identifiable information to others. Huuk may share your personally identifiable information with third parties for the purpose of providing the Platform to you. If we do this, such third parties’ use of your information will be bound by this Privacy Policy. We may store personal information in locations outside the direct control of Huuk (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers).
As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also transfer or assign such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or dissolution.
Any personal information or content that you voluntarily disclose for posting to the Platform, such as User Content, becomes available to the public, as controlled by any applicable privacy settings. If you remove information that you posted to the Platform, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Platform or if other Users have copied or saved that information.
From time to time, we may run contests, special offers, or other events or activities (“Events”) on the Platform together with a third party partner. If you provide information to such third parties, you give them permission to use it for the purpose of that Event and any other use that you approve. We cannot control third parties’ use of your information. If you do not want your information to be collected by or shared with a third party, you can choose not to participate in these Events.
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, Huuk will not disclose personal information to any third party unless required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, or to protect the security or integrity of our site; and (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Huuk, our Users or others.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We may share non-personally identifiable information (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages, and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third parties to help them understand the usage patterns for certain Huuk platforms.
Huuk may allow third-party ad servers or advertisement networks to serve advertisements on the Platform. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on Huuk. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, you can visit https://www.youronlinechoices.eu. Huuk does not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. However, please note that if an advertiser asks Huuk to show an advertisement to a certain audience and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. The Huuk Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, third-party advertisers. Please consult the respective privacy policies of such advertisers for more information.
Third party ad servers or ad networks may, as required by applicable law, require Huuk to ask for consent before showing personalized content. In this case, Huuk will either ask for consent or show non-personalized content instead. Please note, non-personalized advertising content may still be contextual based on your current search on Huuk and your Member account information.
How We Protect Your Information
Huuk implements a range of commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards designed to maintain the integrity and security of your personal information and to enforce your privacy settings. Despite these measures, we cannot completely guarantee the security of the information you transmit to Huuk, nor can we assure that your data will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed if there is a breach of our safeguards. Furthermore, your privacy settings may be influenced by modifications in the functionality of our distributors, like social networks, over which we have no control.
To safeguard your privacy and security, Huuk takes practical measures, such as requiring a unique password, to verify your identity before allowing access to your account. You bear the responsibility for keeping your unique password and account information confidential and for managing access to your email communications linked to Huuk at all times.
Compromise of Personal Information
In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a breach of security, Huuk will promptly notify all relevant government agencies and those persons whose personal information has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
Your Choices About Your Information
Naturally, you have the option to withhold personally identifiable information when using the Platform. However, please be aware that this may limit Huuk's ability to offer certain services to you. Should you wish to review, correct, or delete any personal information that Huuk has on file for you, please contact us directly at [email protected].
Children’s Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, Huuk does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register as Members. If you are under 13, please do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 13 is allowed to provide any personal information to or on Huuk. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected]
Links to Other Web Sites
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from the Platform, nor the information or content contained therein. Such sites may include third parties that process your credit card information to help you book travel plans. Please remember that when you use a link to go from the Platform to another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including those that have a link on our website, is subject to that website’s own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
Notification Procedures
It is our policy to provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on the Platform, as determined by Huuk in its sole discretion. We reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to you, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this Privacy Policy.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on the Platform to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the practices of this site, or your dealings with this website, please contact us at [email protected].
