ET Web Hosting’s policies and procedures for handling customer information have been created with the understanding that Internet technologies are still evolving and that Internet business methods are continuing to evolve to meet the needs and opportunities of the changing technologies. As a result, ET Web Hosting’s policies and procedures are subject to change at any time.

What personal information does ET Web Hosting collect?
In the course of serving its customers, ET Web Hosting acquires, stores and transmits customer communications and information that customers may regard as private or sensitive. Some of this information - such as the customer's name, address, telephone number, and credit card data - is provided to ET Web Hosting by its customers in order to establish service. Other information - such as the customer's account status, choice of services, and customer logs - is created and maintained by ET Web Hosting in the normal course of providing service. ET Web Hosting also uses cookies, which are small pieces of information that a web site can store in a designated file on a user's computer. In addition, ET Web Hosting may store customers' electronic mail and other communications as a necessary incident to the transmission and delivery of those communications.

Data Security
ET Web Hosting will protect the confidentiality of its customers' information, account information and personal communications to the fullest extent possible and consistent with the law and the legitimate interests of ET Web Hosting, its partners, its employees and other customers of ET Web Hosting’s services. To protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of information that is collected from customers, ET Web Hosting has appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in place.

How is customer information used?
ET Web Hosting may use customer information to provide its customers with system information or information about new or upgraded products or services.

Modification of customer information.
Customers may modify their personal information by sending an e-mail to ET Web Hosting customer support.

Domain name customers, who have registered a domain name with ET Web Hosting and wish to change the Technical Contact from ET Web Hosting to another company, may send a request to customer support. It is important to note that customer domain name registration information is made publicly available in the registry of domain names.

Will ET Web Hosting ever send me direct mailings?
From time to time, ET Web Hosting may send its customers information about various products and services that may be of interest. We will not send you information of this type without specifically allowing you to "opt out" of such mailings. You can opt out by sending an e-mail to customer support.

How do I protect my personal information in public forums?
ET Web Hosting may offer interactive forums, such as message boards and chat. ET Web Hosting users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personal information to other users or to third parties on the ET Web Hosting system, through e-mail, or outside of the ET Web Hosting system, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other members or third parties. While ET Web Hosting strives to protect your personal information, ET Web Hosting cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to ET Web Hosting, and you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any passwords or other account information.

What about privacy on sites that ET Web Hosting links to?
ET Web Hosting may provide links to its partners and other Internet sites. These sites have separate data and privacy practices independent of ET Web Hosting, and ET Web Hosting disclaims any responsibility or liability for their policies or actions.

Disclosure of customer information and communications
ET Web Hosting will not otherwise disclose its customers' personal and account information unless ET Web Hosting has reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, make contact with, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm or interfering with the rights or property of ET Web Hosting, ET Web Hosting’s customers, or others, or where ET Web Hosting has a good faith belief that the law requires such disclosure.

ET Web Hosting also will not, except for reasons stated below, disclose to third parties the contents of any electronic mail or other electronic communications that ET Web Hosting stores or transmits for its customers. The circumstances under which ET Web Hosting will disclose such electronic customer communications are when:

• it is necessary in order to provide service to the customer;
• it is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of ET Web Hosting and its customers;
• it is required to cooperate with interception orders, warrants, or other legal process that ET Web Hosting determines in its sole discretion to be valid and enforceable;
• it is necessary to provide to a law enforcement agency when the contents are inadvertently obtained by ET Web Hosting and appear to pertain to the commission of a crime.

ET Web Hosting disclaims any intention to censor, edit or engage in ongoing review or surveillance of communications stored on or transmitted through its facilities by customers or others. ET Web Hosting will, however, review, delete or block access to communications that may harm ET Web Hosting, its customers or third parties. The grounds on which ET Web Hosting may take such action include, but are not limited to, actual or potential violations of ET Web Hosting’s Acceptable Use Policy.
