This information might encompass details like your name, address, contact numbers, email address, service dates, service types, payment history, payment method, payment amounts, payment dates, domain name, and credit card or other payment particulars. The financial data collected will exclusively be employed for invoicing purposes related to the Services you acquire.

3. Cookies and Tracking: Your web browser comes equipped with a built-in capability for storing small text files referred to as "cookies," which retain data enabling a website to recognize your device. These cookies are used to retain your preferences and login details, enhancing personalized functionality. Additionally, cookies may be employed to gather, store, and periodically track data for statistical purposes, aimed at enhancing the quality of our products and services as well as managing our telecommunications networks. To elaborate, we employ various categories of cookies to fulfill distinct objectives: (i) "required cookies" are indispensable for the proper functioning of our website, (ii) "performance cookies" enable us to analyze your website usage, facilitating the measurement and enhancement of our website's performance, (iii) "functional cookies" allow us to recollect choices you may have made on our website, and (iv) "advertising cookies" are utilized to present advertisements aligned with your interests.
Cookies might also be utilized to monitor referrals from both internal and external affiliates, as well as to support advertising campaigns.

Pixel tags and cookies could be embedded in these email messages to assist us in gauging the effectiveness of our advertising efforts and enabling us to deliver more targeted marketing communications. Adjusting your browser settings can reject cookies, but this action might disable certain features on our website.
Furthermore, we collaborate with a third-party entity to display advertisements on our website and manage advertising activities across other websites. This third-party collaborator may utilize technologies like cookies to gather insights into your interactions on our website and other online platforms, enabling the presentation of advertisements tailored to your browsing habits and interests. If you prefer not to have this information utilized for delivering interest-based advertisements, you can opt out by contacting our support through this LINK TO SUPPORT. It's important to note that opting out in this manner doesn't exempt you from receiving ads in general. You will continue to receive generic advertisements unless you choose to opt out using the unsubscribe link provided in any promotional email you receive, or as otherwise specified in the communication.
4. Customer Surveys: Periodically, we may conduct voluntary customer surveys, which provide valuable insights for enhancing the quality of our services and their delivery. We strongly encourage user participation in these surveys. Any personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and phone number, will be kept confidential, even if a third-party service provider administers the survey on our behalf.
5. Social Media: Our website integrates social media features, like the Facebook "Like" button, which may gather your IP address and the specific page you are viewing on our site. These features might employ cookies to ensure their proper functioning. Social media features and widgets may originate from a third-party or be directly integrated into our website. Interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them.
6. Data and Information Submitted to Third Parties on Our Network: This Privacy Policy doesn't extend to data, personal information, or account details submitted to or gathered by third-party customer websites hosted by BoolHost, or domain names registered by BoolHost customers. Such websites and domains are not under BoolHost's ownership or control. Prior to sharing data, personal information, or account details with these third-party websites, it's important to independently review their privacy policies.
1. Individual and Account Details: The data we gather regarding individuals and their accounts serves the purpose of billing and delivering service and assistance to our clients. We might analyze this data to understand the requirements of our clients and to endorse particular products, services, or additional support that we believe would catch the interest of specific clients. Furthermore, we may create summarized and generalized profiles based on the data provided by clients, such as the overall count of clients within a particular category. This amalgamated and non-identifying data could be utilized to determine the advertisements displayed on our website and in conjunction with the Services.
We implement sensible measures to safeguard against unauthorized access to your data. Consequently, if you seek to access details about your account, we may request supplementary forms of identification. BoolHost might also utilize the personal or account data you furnish to send BoolHost's monthly newsletter to the primary contact email address on record, or to get in touch with you regarding alternative products or services that we believe might capture your interest.
2. Recording Log Data: We utilize IP addresses to analyze patterns, manage our website and servers, monitor access, and gather general demographic data for collective assessment. IP addresses are not associated with personal details. Nevertheless, it's conceivable that log files might contain personal information of a customer due to the typical functions of IP addresses and web browsing.
3. Customer Feedback: The contact and other information provided by customers through surveys may be employed to follow up and assist in resolving issues, whether internally or with our third-party associates, as indicated by the customer in their survey response. As an example, BoolHost might communicate with customers based on their survey responses or to highlight specific modifications made in response to customer input.
4. Marketing Communications: We may utilize the email address you furnish on our website to get in touch with you regarding our products and services, even if you haven't subscribed to our services. You have the option to decline these emails by using the unsubscribe link provided in any promotional email you receive or as otherwise specified in the communication.
We will not distribute your personal information to external parties, except as outlined in this Privacy Policy, without your prior approval. Your personal information will not be sold to third parties.
1. Collaborators and Supporters: Certain products or services we offer or endorse to our customers may involve collaboration with partners, sponsors, or other brands or entities within our corporate group. We may share your details with these entities to deliver the product or service or to facilitate the utilization of extra features linked to your hosting account. As an illustration, a partner might provide you with services via a link accessed from your control panel.
We might also reveal summarized, anonymous data derived from customer information to potential partners, respected third parties, and other companies or brands affiliated with our corporate group. We will exclusively share your data with third parties that commit to maintaining the confidentiality of your information and employing it solely for the purpose of furnishing the agreed-upon product or service as stipulated by BoolHost.
2. External Service Providers: Your personal information or account details may be shared or made accessible to third parties who assist us in delivering the Services or providing services on our behalf. These third-party service providers might handle and process your personal information or account details in the United States or other jurisdictions. We furnish our service providers with the necessary information to fulfill their assigned tasks, and we do not authorize them to utilize or expose personal information for their individual marketing endeavors or other objectives.
3. Internet Advertisements: We do not divulge personally identifiable information about individual customers to advertisers. We might, however, share aggregated and non-identifying data concerning our customers, derived from the registration procedure or online surveys and promotions, with specific advertisers. On occasion, this amalgamated and non-identifying information is employed to provide customized advertisements. To illustrate, an advertiser might inform us of their target audience—such as small businesses with online stores—and present us with an advertisement tailored to that particular group. Based on the amalgamated and non-identifying information amassed, we may then present the advertisement to the intended audience.
4. Customer Survey Insights: Information gathered from customer surveys might be shared within our corporate group and with trusted third parties to formulate or offer products and services that we believe would pique our customers' interest.
5. Domain Name Registration: In specific jurisdictions or as per the regulations of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") or specific registries, the contact details you provide for domain name registration ("Domain Name Registration Information") must be accessible to the public via a "WHOIS" search. The WHOIS database is an openly accessible repository that displays Domain Name Registration Information for a given domain name, including name server details and creation/expiration dates. The Domain Name Registration Information you provide is hosted by us or a third-party service provider and is made accessible to the public via the WHOIS database. On occasion, customers might receive communications resulting from queries of the publicly available WHOIS database by other entities. These solicitations or SPAM messages are not affiliated with BoolHost, and we lack control over third-party utilization of WHOIS data. Additionally, following ICANN guidelines, BoolHost must grant access to WHOIS data to any third party engaged in a bulk access agreement. While ICANN enables individuals to opt out (through the account management panel, domain management console, or equivalent service) from having their WHOIS information disclosed via bulk access, entities like ours cannot opt out from having their information disclosed to a third party under a bulk access agreement. We might also entrust your Domain Name Registration Information to a third-party escrow provider to comply with ICANN mandates.
6. Cooperation with Authorities and Unique Scenarios: We collaborate with government and law enforcement authorities to uphold and adhere to legal mandates. We will divulge user information in response to valid requests from government or law enforcement officials, a course of action we consider necessary or suitable, at our sole discretion, to address assertions and legal procedures (which may encompass subpoenas) or as compelled by applicable laws. Additionally, we might reveal information indispensable for the identification, communication, or initiation of legal measures against a party posing a threat to us, our systems, or our clients (for instance, to avert a Distributed Denial of Service or "DDoS" attack).
7. Mergers, Sales, or Transfers of Assets: If BoolHost engages in a merger, acquisition, or the sale of all or a segment of its assets, you will receive notification via email or through a prominent announcement on our website about any alteration in ownership or utilization of your personal information. This notification will also cover any alternatives you may have concerning your personal information.

3. Opting Out: By default, you will receive invoices, system updates, BoolHost newsletters, and other correspondences. You have the option to decline newsletters and communications by utilizing the unsubscribe link provided in any promotional email or as otherwise specified in the communication. Kindly note that customers may not opt out of receiving essential system notifications or emails pertaining to their accounts.
4. Open Discussion Platforms: Kindly bear in mind that any information you choose to reveal or post on public sections of our websites or the Internet becomes publicly accessible. Caution should be exercised when deliberating the disclosure of personal information in these open areas.

5. Data Protection Measures: BoolHost employs technical security protocols to avert the loss, misuse, modification, or unauthorized exposure of information within our purview. These security measures encompass a range of practices, including physical, electronic, and managerial measures designed to preserve and secure the data we accumulate online. All sensitive information is stored on a secure server. When requesting customers to provide financial details (such as credit card numbers), we employ Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") technology to safeguard this data. We adhere to widely accepted standards to safeguard the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and upon receipt. However, it is important to acknowledge that no mode of internet transmission or electronic storage is entirely foolproof. Thus, we cannot ensure absolute security.

We uphold the right to alter, revise, or modify this Privacy Policy at any time and in any manner. However, if we intend to make substantial changes to how previously collected personal information is utilized, you will be informed via email or by means of a conspicuous notice on our website.
