Introduction
We at Web Hosting Adviser ("we", "us" or "the Company") respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the privacy of our users ("user" or "you").
This Privacy Policy outlines our practices with respect to collecting, using, and disclosing your information through your use of our website ("the Service").
The Privacy Policy is a part of our Terms of Service and is incorporated therein by reference.
If you are a resident of the State of California, please review the additional California-specific privacy provisions.
You are not legally obligated to provide us with Personal Information (and you acknowledge that providing us with Personal Information is done freely).
Nor are you required to use the Service in the first place. By using the Service and engaging or interacting with the Company, you consent to this Privacy Policy and to our information practices described herein. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not access or otherwise use the Service.
We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, change this Privacy Policy at any time. In such case, we will post the modified Privacy Policy on the Service, and the “Last Updated” statement at the bottom will reflect the effective date of the modified version.
Any access or use you make of the Service following such changes constitutes your consent and acceptance of the modified Privacy Policy. If we make significant changes, we will provide more prominent notice (e.g., posting a notification on the Service seven (7) days before the changes become effective). In such case, the changes will be effective seven (7) days after the notification is published.
We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy carefully and use it to make informed decisions. By using our Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and your continued use of the Service constitutes your ongoing agreement to this Privacy Policy.

What type of information we collect
We collect two types of data and information from our users.
The first type of information is non-identifiable information pertaining to a user(s) ("Non-personal Information"). This may include aggregated usage information such as navigational data, clickstream data, and technical details about your device and browser, which help us enhance the functionality of our Service.
The second type is identifiable information ("Personal Information"). We collect Personal Information from your device (e.g., IP address) and from your activity on the Service (e.g., clicks, actions). We also collect any Personal Information you voluntarily provide.
Handling Your Privacy Requests
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If the exercise of your right requires more time (up to 45 additional days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We may deny your request if we couldn’t verify your request or if we must retain your personal information for certain activities (such as detecting security incidents, debugging, complying with legal obligations, etc.).
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits our customers who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
Do Not Track Notice
Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signal. A DNT signal is an HTTP header field indicating your preference for tracking your activities on the Service or through cross-site user tracking. We do not currently respond to DNT signals.
EU Data Subject Rights
Any Personal Information we collect according to this Privacy Policy is handled and treated in compliance with the GDPR. As an EU-based user, you may:
- Access the Personal Information that we keep about you. We will need to ask you to provide certain credentials to verify your identity. If you find that the Personal Information is not accurate, complete, or updated, please provide us with the necessary information to correct it.
- Contact us if you want to withdraw your consent to the processing of your Personal Information. (Exercising this right will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent prior to its withdrawal.)
- Request to delete or restrict access to your Personal Information. If you exercise one (or more) of the above rights in accordance with applicable law, you may request to be informed that third parties holding your Personal Information will act accordingly.
- Object to the processing of your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes.
- Lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
Information Security
We, along with our respective third-party services and affiliate entities, implement data security systems and procedures to secure the information transmitted, processed, and stored on the Service, our servers, and our systems. For example, the Service is encrypted using SSL and other information transmitted is periodically reviewed for security. We use third-party processing and serving services that adhere to various information security standards and certifications (for both data at rest and in transmission).
We also monitor and filter access to data by our personnel.
Although these systems and procedures reduce the risk of security breaches, they do not provide absolute security, as no system connected to the worldwide network is completely immune to unauthorized access or other security risks. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the Site and our servers are immune to unauthorized access.
Minors
The Service is not intended for users under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you should not use the Service or provide any Personal Information to us. We reserve the right to verify the age of users. In the event that we become aware that a user under the age of 18 has provided Personal Information, we will discard such information. If you believe a minor has shared Personal Information with us.
