1 Information Collected by webhostingspecials.com
We will not knowingly use information collected on this website
to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this
statement. webhostingspecials.com
collects information from our
users at several different points on our website.
For purposes of this Privacy Statement, "Personally Identifiable
Information" refers to information that can directly identify an
individual; for example, such information may include an
individual's name, mailing address, phone number or email
address.
1.1 Information that Is Automatically Collected
We use IP addresses, with the help of a business partner, to
analyze trends, administer the website, track users' movements,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to Personally Identifiable Information.
1.2 Information that Is Collected by Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on a user's hard drive
containing information about that user. By setting a cookie on
our website, the user would not have to log in with a password
more than once, thereby saving time while on our website. If a
user rejects the cookie, they may still use our website. The
only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some
areas of our website. Cookies can also enable us to track and
target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on
our website. Some of our business partners use cookies on our
website (for example, advertisers); however, we have no access
to or control over these cookies.
1.3 Information that Is Actively Submitted to
webhostingspecials.com
Registrations and Orders. In order to register a domain name or
order services from this website, a user must create an account
and complete a registration process. During the account creation
process, a user must provide contact information (such as name
and email address) so that we can stay in touch with our users.
This information is also used to fulfill order and registration
requests. To pay for a domain name registration or for other
service ordered, a user must provide contact information (such
as name and shipping address) and financial information (such as
a credit card number and its expiration date). This information
is used for billing purposes, with the help of our business
partner, and to fill users' orders. If we have trouble
processing an order, this contact information is used to get in
touch with the user.
Tell-A-Friend. If a user elects to use our referral service for
informing a friend about our website, we ask them for the
friend's name and email address. We will automatically send the
friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the website. We
store this information for the purpose of sending this one-time
email. The friend may contact us at support@webhostingspecials.com
or go directly to http://www.webhostingspecials.com/support.html
to request the removal of this information from this database.
1.4 Third Party Advertisers on webhostingspecials.com's Website
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads (using
methods that include Pixel Tags and Clear Gifs) when you visit
our website. Third-party advertising companies also separately
place or recognize a cookie file on your browser in the course
of delivering advertisements to this website. These companies
may use information (not including your name, address, email
address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other
websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and
services of interest to you.
1.5 Information webhostingspecials.com
Obtains from Third
Parties
Supplemental Information Collected. In certain circumstances, in
order for our website to properly fulfill its obligation to our
users, it is necessary for us to supplement the information we
receive with information from third party sources. For example,
to determine if our users qualify for a dotPartner account, we
use their name and business information to request a credit
report.
webhostingspecials.com
Accounts Created by a Third Party on Your
Behalf. If you received your domain name from someone else,
without registering for it yourself, your domain name may belong
to a "managed domain." In a managed domain, the administrator of
a company with whom you have a business relationship (for
example, your ISP) can create your domain name for you. You can
then use the domain name like any other domain name. The
administrator, however, has access to the domain name and can
edit your webhostingspecials.com
profile, reset your password,
and manage the webhostingspecials.com
account without your
additional consent. In addition to the terms mentioned in this
Privacy Statement, an account created by a third party allows
any of your Personally Identifiable Information within that
account to be available to that third party as if they were you.
We have no access to or control over the third party to prevent
their disclosure of your information.
2 Communications from webhostingspecials.com
Welcome Emails and General Correspondence. We send a welcoming
email to the email address associated with the account a user
has created to verify the users password and username. This
process is designed to prevent e-mail addresses from being used
without permission in the creation of a webhostingspecials.com
account. Established users will occasionally receive information
on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of
respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to
not receive some of these types of communications. Please see
our opt-out options below.
Site and Service Updates.
We send the user website and service
announcement updates. Users are not permitted to unsubscribe
from service announcements, which contain important information
about the website and/or service. We may communicate with users
to provide services that users request or to discuss issues
relating to their account.
Surveys & Contests.
From time-to-time our website requests
information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in
these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and, as such,
the user 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).
3 How Information Collected by webhostingspecials.com
Is Used
Demographic Information. We will share aggregated demographic
information with our partners and advertisers. The aggregated
demographic information is not linked to any Personally
Identifiable Information that can identify any individual
person.
Communicating with Our Users. We use Personally Identifiable
Information (such as your name, telephone number or email
address) to communicate with our users when they have questions,
concerns or comments about their accounts or the services that
we provide. If you contact us, we may or may not delete your
emails or voicemails to us.
Information Shared With Third Parties. We share information with
third parties as required by ICANN and in order to give our
customers access to a great variety of services. Specifically,
we may do the following:
· Submit the name, postal address, e-mail address, and phone
numbers associated with the registrant, administrative,
technical and billing contacts of a domain name to the
appropriate Registry or registration database. This information
is included in a publicly available 'Whois' database, in
accordance with ICANN rules. This sharing of information is
required by ICANN rules.
· Use a credit card processing company to bill users for goods
and services. These companies do not use Personally Identifiable
Information for any use other than credit card processing;
however, we will not be responsible or liable for use of the
information required by credit card companies in contravention
of their policies, contractual obligations or general good
business procedures.
· Partner with third parties who provide services to our users.
When the user signs up for or agrees to receive a specific
service provided by the third party (i.e. PostMasterDirect
advertisements), we share the information that is needed for the
third party to provide the services.
· Share the publicly available domain contact information
submitted by our users for inclusion in the Whois database with
third parties. We do not control the use of this Personally
Identifiable Information by third parties.
· Share your Personally Identifiable Information with other
entities that are owned by webhostingspecials.com, that own
webhostingspecials.com
, or have some sort of corporate ownership
relationship with webhostingspecials.com
.
Addressing Legal Issues. Further, we provide Personally
Identifiable Information to respond to subpoenas, court orders,
or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights
or defend against legal claims. Further, we believe it is
necessary to share Personally Identifiable Information in order
to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal
activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential
threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of
webhostingspecials.com's terms of use, or as otherwise required
by law.
Sale or Transfer of webhostingspecials.com. If all or a portion
of webhostingspecials.com
is transferred, sold, merged, ceases
operations, goes bankrupt, or is otherwise involved in a
transaction where the ownership or management of
webhostingspecials.com
is changed (individually or collectively,
a "Transaction") then your Personally Identifiable Information
or other user information may be transferred or assigned to a
third party as part of the Transaction.
4 Correction/Updating Personal Information
Users must provide accurate and correct contact information
(name, postal address, e-mail address, phone number) for their
domain name(s) Registrant, Administrative, Technical and Billing
contacts, which will be listed in a publicly accessible 'Whois'
database, in compliance with ICANN rules. If a user's Personally
Identifiable Information changes (such as a zip code), or if a
user no longer desires webhostingspecials.com's services, we
will provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's
personal data provided to us. This can usually be done under
online account management (on your own) or by emailing our user
Support Group for assistance.

Users are provided an opportunity to "opt-out" of having their
information used for purposes not directly related to the
services they request. Users who no longer wish to receive our
newsletter or promotional materials from us may opt-out of
receiving these communications by replying and typing
"unsubscribe" in the subject line in the email or email your
request to news@webhostingspecials.com.
