Polarity Hosting WEB TECHNOLOGIES PRIVACY POLICY The Polarity Hosting Web Technologies Privacy Policy outlines the information we collect online and how we use it. This policy applies throughout our Polarity Hosting network of websites, unless otherwise specified.

Normal Web Site Usage

Polarity Hosting offers web hosting services, domain registration, and web promotion services. The Polarity Hosting site is intended to provide visitors with access to hosting and domain registration services and solutions, as well as support for those services.

Cookies

Our websites may use cookies to measure activity and customize information to your personal interests. A cookie is an element of data that a website can send to your browser to store on your hard drive. The use of cookies is an industry standard and is found on most major websites. Cookies allow us to tailor our site to your individual preferences and permit you to navigate certain parts of our site without having to re-enter information you provided on a previous visit. If you prefer not to take advantage of these conveniences, most browsers allow you to decline cookies. You are free to decline our cookies, but if you do, you will not be able to take advantage of these conveniences.

In some instances, Polarity Hosting may request or collect information online that identifies you personally, such as your name, e-mail or postal address, or telephone number. We may also request or collect information about your preferences, interests, hobbies, and the like. This may occur in a variety of circumstances, including when you register online, communicate with us by e-mail, respond to surveys, or enroll in contests. Again, you are not required to provide this information, but if you choose not to, some portions of our website may not be accessible to you.

We use the information we collect online to provide you with the services you request and for a variety of general internal marketing and planning purposes. For example, we may use information that identifies you personally to communicate with you by e-mail, postal mail, or telephone about special offers, promotions, products, and services that may be of interest to you

Links To Other Websites

Polarity Hosting has included links to sites that may be of interest to you and are in good taste. Please note that a link to or from our website does not imply endorsement of that site. We do not control the sites to which we link and assume no responsibility for their content or their privacy policies.

Questions or Concerns

If you have any questions or concerns about Polarity Hosting Hosting’s online privacy policy or believe that they have not adhered to it, please let us know.

The Polarity Hosting Hosting Network has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of your user data under their control.

Only authorized employees have access to the information you provide, and strict rules are in place for Polarity Hosting Network employees who have access to the databases that store user information or to the servers that host their services. While they cannot guarantee that loss, misuse, or alteration to data will not occur, they make every effort to prevent such unfortunate occurrences. Any other particularly sensitive information, such as your credit card number collected for commerce transactions at Polarity Hosting Shop Sites or to purchase premium services from Polarity Hosting, is encrypted prior to transmission.

You are ultimately responsible for the security of your Polarity Hosting Network ID and password. Please take care when using and storing them. Polarity Hosting recommends that you do not divulge your password to anyone. You should log out of your browser at the end of each computer session to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence, especially if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.

Know The Risks

When you communicate with others online, it’s important to be aware that disclosing personal information such as your actual name, member name, e-mail address, etc., on a web page, in a newsgroup, chat room, or forum may result in that information being collected and used by others to send you unsolicited e-mails from other parties outside the Polarity Hosting Network. While some of the e-mails you receive may be useful, others may not.

Educate yourself

To educate yourself on how to protect your privacy, search the web for as much information as you can. Look for a privacy statement on the sites you visit. A good place to start is Trustee, an independent, non-profit privacy initiative dedicated to building users’ trust and confidence in the Internet. You can also visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website and read information on being a Savvy Internet Traveler and other privacy initiatives.

Teach your children to never talk to strangers.
Although the Polarity Hosting Network works hard to protect children on its sites, it cannot protect their privacy once they leave. Please teach children not to give out their names or other personal information to anyone on the Internet. They should also be instructed not to fill out any forms or register at any website without your knowledge and consent. Take advantage of the online resources for parents available on the Polarity Hosting Network, such as SearchGuard and GetNetWise.
