How is your data being used

• To promote use of our Services. For example, if you leave your Personal Data when you visit our Website and don’t sign up for any of the Services, we may send you an email asking whether you want to sign up. And if you use any of our Services, and we think you might benefit from using another Service we offer, we may send you an email telling you about it.
• To bill and collect money owed to us. This includes sending you emails, invoices, receipts, notices of delinquency, and alerting you if we need a different billing information. We use third parties for secure credit card transaction processing, and we send billing information to those third parties to process your orders and credit card payments.
• To send you system alert messages. For example, we may let you know about temporary or permanent changes to our Services, like planned outages, new features, version updates, releases, abuse warnings, and changes to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
• To enforce compliance with our Terms of Service and applicable law. This may include developing tools and algorithms that help us prevent violations.
• To provide customer support.
• To protect the rights and safety of our Clients and third parties, as well as our own.
• To prosecute and defend a court, arbitration, or similar proceeding.
• To communicate with you about your account for informational, not promotional, reasons.
• To transfer your information in the case of a sale, merger, consolidation or acquisition. In that event, any acquirer will be subject to our obligations under this Privacy Policy.
• To send you informational and promotional content. You can stop receiving our promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in every email.
• To target advertising on other sites based on your activity. Third parties (such as AdRoll) may target advertising on other sites based on your online activity. You can opt out of receiving targeted advertising (for example, a link to the DAA opt-out site www.aboutads.info or the NAI opt-out site at optout.networkadvertising.org, or for those in Europe, the EDAA opt out site at www.youronlinechoices.com).

Data retention

We keep logs of Clients’ activity and Personal Data for at least 36 months. While traffic logs are normally kept for 12 months.

Backups and logs may be kept longer than these limits in special circumstances. For example, if a problem is taking a long time to resolve, logs relevant to that investigation may be retained. Or if a server that contains backups or logs is temporarily offline because of a fault, then those backups or logs may not be deleted until the server is brought back up.

These situations are unusual, however, and when they do occur, they are temporary.

Data security

We are committed to protecting Personal Data. To do so we employ a variety of security technologies and measures intended to protect our information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. WEISS HOSTING SERVICES LIMITED has a corporate policy in place that requires all personnel not to disclose Personal Data to any third party that is not entitled to have that information. Please note, however, that WEISS HOSTING SERVICES LIMITED can not fully eliminate security risks associated with the collection, disclosure and storage of your information and that mistakes and security breaches may occur. We do not guarantee or warrant that such techniques will prevent unauthorized access to information about you that we store, Personal Data or otherwise.

We encourage visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy.
