Privacy, Security, Your Information
HostNed respects your privacy
We will not give any information about you to others without your
express permission.
Our site uses forms in which you give us contact information (your name,
address, daytime telephone number, and email address) so you can place
orders, request information and support, and make product suggestions.
We will then create an account number for you and if you choose to order
from us using a credit card, we will collect your credit card number
and expiration date. If you contact us for support, we will keep an
internal record of what support was given. We use your customer information
only when it will be important for us to contact you regarding functionality
changes to our products, our web site, new HostNed Software services,
and special offers we think you'll find valuable. If you would rather
not receive this information, please see the "Updating Your Information"
section below on how to change your preferences. If we present a co-branded
offer with our partners or affiliates, it will be clear at the point
of collection who is collecting the information and whose privacy statement
applies.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf.
These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single
pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any
information that these third parties collect via cookies and action
tags is completely anonymous. If you would like more information about
this practice and your choices, click here .
On rare occasions, one of our partners may require us to share your
personal information with them. We will only do so with your explicit
permission first.
We use information gathered about you from our site statistics (for
example your IP address) to help diagnose problems with our server,
and to administer our Web site. We also gather broad demographic information
from this data to help us improve our site and make your browsing and
purchasing experience more enjoyable. This is not linked to any personally
identifiable information, except as necessary to prevent fraud or abuse
on our system.
Our site uses cookies to keep track of your shopping cart and receipts.
We use cookies to identify you so you don't have to login each time
you visit our site. They are linked to your customer number which is
associated with the information in your account.
This site also contains links to other sites. Unfortunately HostNed
is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such
Web sites.
Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse
and alteration of the information under our control. Please
view our Secure Ordering page for further details.
Updating Your Information
As a customer of HostNed, you may alter your customer information or
opt-out of receiving communications from us and our partners
at any time. We have the following options for changing and modifying
your customer information.
You may send an email to contact.us(at) hostned.com
You may visit your online account area at the following URL: http://my.hostned.com
Sending Emails
We use emails to communicate with you, to confirm your placed orders,
and to send information that you have requested. We also provide email
links, as on our "About HostNed" page, to allow you to contact us directly.
We strive to promptly reply to your messages.
The information you send to us may be stored and used to improve this
site and our products, or it may be reviewed and discarded. However,
your information will only be shared with third parties with your explicit
permission.
Only If We Have To
As stated previously in this policy, we will not share your personal
information except with a third party to assist us in the processing
or securing of your personal information or when we are required by
law unless we have given you notice and choice, in the good-faith belief
that such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the
law, or we must comply with a legal
process served on our web site. We may also need to give out your information
if one of our partners requires it, but these situations are rare.
Changes in Our Practices
If we make material changes to our information handling practices or
other privacy aspects, we will post those changes on this privacy statement,
at least 30 days prior to their implementation or notify you directly
via email. Minor changes will be immediately effective upon reposting
to this privacy policy on the HostNed Web site.
Service Provider
We use a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and
services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Contest
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys
or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose
this information. Information requested may include contact information
(such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such
as zip code, age level – you must be 18 or above to enter). Contact
information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey
information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the
use and satisfaction of this site.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend
about our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address.
HostNed will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting
them to visit the site. HostNed stores this information for the sole
purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact HostNed
at support.dept(at) hostned.com to request the removal of this information
from our database.
What Happens to my Personal Information if I Terminate my HostNed
Account?
When Your HostNed account is cancelled (either voluntarily or involuntarily)
all of your personally identifiable information is placed in "deactivated"
status on our relevant HostNed databases or may be erased completely
from our records. However, you should know that deactivation of your
account does not mean your personally identifiable information has been
deleted from our database entirely. We may retain and use your personally
identifiable information if necessary in order to resolve disputes or
enforce our agreements.
