My Web Hosting Provider has created this privacy statement in order to
demonstrate our commitment to privacy to our customers and users of this
website. This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which My Web Hosting Provider
(MWHP) uses, maintains and discloses information collected from its customers
and users of its website.
Privacy
MWHP is committed to developing long-lasting relationships based on trust. In
furtherance of this goal, MWHP will do everything in its power to ensure that
your right to privacy is maintained and protected. This website is not directed
at children under 13 years of age.
Information We Collect
MWHP may request or collect personal information from online users in a variety
of ways, including through online forms for ordering products and services, and
other instances where users are invited to volunteer such information.
The data we collect is information that identifies you personally, such as:
- Your name
- E-mail address
- Postal address
- Telephone and telefax numbers
- URL
- Credit card information
- Other billing information
MWHP may also collect information about how users access the website
using a tracking ID unique to each user through the use of cookies.
What are Cookies?
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information
about the user. We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For
session ID cookies, once you close your browser or log out, the cookie
terminates and is erased. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on
your computer’s hard drive for an extended period of time. Your browser’s help
file contains information and instructions for removing persistent cookies.
Session ID cookies may be used by MWHP to track user preferences while the user
is visiting the website. They also help to minimize load times and save on
server processing. Persistent cookies may be used by MWHP to store whether, for
example, you want your password remembered or not, and other information.
Cookies used on the MWHP website do not contain personally identifiable
information.
Log Files
Like most standard websites, we use log files. This information may include
internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to
analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and
gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. However, none of the
information stored in our log files, including but not limited to IP addresses,
is linked to personally identifiable information.
How we use this information
MWHP may use the personally identifiable information collected by MWHP to
contact customers regarding products and services offered by MWHP and, to the
extent the user has agreed to it, by its trusted affiliates, independent
contractors and business partners. We may also use this information for research
purposes regarding the effectiveness of our website services, marketing,
advertising and sales efforts. MWHP will not in any way share this information
with a third party either for free or by selling it, unless you specifically
authorize such disclosures.
Disclosure of Information
MWHP may also disclose aggregate, anonymous data based on information collected
from users to investors and potential partners. In such cases, only statistical
information will be disclosed and personally identifiable data will be kept
strictly confidential. In case MWHP is sold, the information collected from
users may be transferred to the new owners.
MWHP may from time to time engage third parties, including its own
subsidiaries and affiliated companies, to preserve, analyze or otherwise
store or manipulate data received by MWHP from its customers. In all
such cases, third party service providers will be required to treat all
such data with the same degree of care as MWHP and they will be
prohibited from disclosing such data to any other person or party,
except as otherwise provided for in this Privacy Policy.
Special Offers and Updates
Our customers and users will occasionally receive newsletters or e-mails with
information on products, services, or special offers. Out of respect for the
privacy of our users, MWHP gives them the opportunity to opt-out from receiving
these types of communications.
Service Announcements
On rare occasions, it is necessary to send out a strictly service-related
announcement, if, for instance, our service is temporarily suspended for
maintenance. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though
they can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not
promotional in nature.
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy, we may need to disclose
personal information when required by law, if we have a good-faith belief that
such action is necessary and required to comply with a current judicial
proceeding, a court order, subpoena or other legal process served on MWHP.
The MWHP website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that
MWHP is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every
website that collects personally identifiable information. The MWHP
Privacy Policy as described herein applies solely to information
collected by MWHP.
Maintenance of Information
The information provided to MWHP is saved indefinitely and may be stored on one
or more databases directly or indirectly maintained by MWHP. MWHP employs
industry-standard security measures to protect the confidentiality of the
information. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of data
will not occur; we make every effort to prevent such occurrences. Any other
particularly sensitive information, such as credit card numbers collected for
commercial transactions, is encrypted prior to transmission by you to MWHP.
Your Responsibility
You are responsible for the security of your Customer ID and passwords. Make
sure you keep them in a safe place and do not share them with others. Always
remember to log out after your session ends to ensure that others cannot access
your private personal information. You should take this precaution even if you
are not using a public computer, such as at a library or internet café, but even
when using your private computer in your home.
