Privacy Policy

Overview and acceptance

This privacy policy describes how Hazard Hosts handles the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information provided while using its services. The policy also states that it may be updated or modified at any time, and users are expected to review it periodically for changes.

The site says continued use of the service means you consent to the policy and its terms. It also says users must either be at least 13 years old or have written parental consent available upon request, and that legal matters are governed under United States laws and legislation.

Your data

Hazard Hosts says it may request personally identifiable information used to contact, identify, or distinguish you as a user. The policy specifically lists personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, and postal address.

The policy also states that personal information will not be shared with outside parties unless otherwise described in the policy or required in response to legal process such as a court subpoena.

Collection of information

According to the current policy, personal information is collected through the client panel when an account is created. Hazard Hosts says this information is stored on its servers for use by its team.

The policy also lists other categories of information that may be collected through payment gateways, affiliates, service partners, communication services, and infrastructure-related services. These categories include payment information, address details, identification documents, IP-related service information, language and location details, and data connected to purchased services.

Cookies and automatic data

The policy says Hazard Hosts collects cookies and usage data to track activity on the service. Cookies are described as small files that may include anonymous identifiers and are stored on your device through your browser.

Users can configure their browser to refuse cookies or notify them when cookies are sent. The policy warns that refusing cookies may prevent access to some parts of the website or service. It also specifically mentions the use of session cookies, preference cookies, and security cookies.

How data is used

Hazard Hosts states that collected data is used for a range of operational purposes, including providing and maintaining services, notifying users about changes, enabling interactive features, delivering customer support, improving service quality, monitoring usage, and detecting or resolving technical issues.

The policy also says personal information will not be used to sell to third-party providers and will not be used as leverage or negotiating power against competitors or other services.

Storage, transfer, and security

The policy explains that personal information may be transferred to or maintained on servers outside a user’s local jurisdiction, including in places where data protection laws differ. It says data will be processed in line with the jurisdiction that governs Hazard Hosts.

It also states that Hazard Hosts will take necessary steps to ensure secure transfer of data, and that due diligence will be performed on any organization or country receiving transferred data, including a review of the security controls in place.

Disclosure of data

The policy states that Hazard Hosts may disclose personal data when it believes disclosure is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect against legal liability, protect the rights, property, and security of Hazard Hosts, protect clients or the public, or investigate wrongdoing connected to the service.

Removal requests and user rights

The policy says users may request access to, amendment of, or removal of personal information. It says written requests and enough identifying information may be required before action is taken.

It also says users may withdraw consent to processing, transfer, or storage of data, although doing so may affect the company’s ability to continue providing services or products. Once removed, the policy states that information cannot be retrieved.
