PRIVACY & TERMS

Clear rules for the public site and authenticated product access.

This page summarizes the current public website and product-access boundary. Signed commercial agreements, order forms and product-specific terms control where they apply.

Website and product information

Hood Intelligence publishes corporate, product, research, and educational information on this site. Public content does not by itself create a contract, license, service-level agreement, procurement award, partnership, or professional-advice relationship.

Privacy and accounts

When you use START, create an account, sign in, or use Hood Console, Hood may process information you provide such as your name, work email, organization, role, product interest, and account activity, together with security and service information needed to operate and protect the service.

Payments

Where a Hood product supports paid access, payment processing may be provided by a third-party payment provider under the applicable transaction and privacy terms.

Intellectual property

Hood names, software, designs, research, documentation, and original materials are protected by applicable intellectual-property rights. No rights are granted except as stated in an applicable agreement or license.

Third-party names

References to third-party companies, products, or services are used for market, educational, or compatibility context unless Hood expressly announces a relationship.

No professional advice

Public research and product material is not legal, financial, regulatory, safety, medical, or engineering advice.

Commercial agreements control. Where an executed agreement or product-specific term applies, that agreement controls the customer relationship.

Commercial relationships
