PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY. IT STATES THE PRIVACY POLICY THAT GOVERNS YOUR USE OF ANY HOSTPRO SERVICE. This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") applies to all Websites hosted and services provided by HostPro, Inc.

At HostPro, we recognize the privacy needs of our Customers. You should be able to choose what information you want to share and decide what will happen to that information once it has been shared. Protecting your personal information is vitally important. Please read the following Privacy Policy to understand how your personal information will be treated as you make full use of our many offerings. This policy may change from time to time without notice so please check back periodically. We hope this will increase your awareness about online privacy. 

Collected Information  
If you choose to register with HostPro or place an order with us, we may ask you to provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, physical and electronic mail ("e-mail") addresses, phone number, domain name and other information that by itself, or in combination with other information, may be identifiable to you as a specific individual. We may also ask for financial information, such as account or credit card numbers, and demographic information, such as your zip code and income level. We gather this information from your registration, order forms, e-mails, and surveys. 

Please be aware that HostPro Internet access partners, advertisers, and Websites that have links on our sites, and DSL provider/distributor partners may also collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of these Internet access partners, advertisers, and Websites linked to HostPro, and DSL provider/distributor partners, are not governed by this Privacy Policy. Similarly, other customer Websites that are hosted by HostPro may collect your personal information. What these other sites do with that information is governed by the privacy policy for that site—not this policy—and you are encouraged to review the privacy policy on any site you visit. 

Information Requests   
You may be able to request information on our sites regarding products and Services, including technical support and customer Service, by using online forms. We may ask that you provide certain contact information to allow us to fulfill your request and to send you information about HostPro's products and Services. 

Security   
Ordering online with HostPro is secure and convenient. Our ordering process is protected by the Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") protocol, which encrypts your information and confirms the identity of the HostPro server before completing your transaction. Netscape Navigator 2.0+ (or better) and Internet Explorer 3.0+ (or better) support the SSL protocol. We recommend you use the latest browsers to ensure that you are protected by advances in security technology.

Children's Guidelines   
Although HostPro's sites are not geared towards children, HostPro nonetheless attempts to protect children. HostPro must, however, rely on the information provided to us by visitors to our sites. As a result, it is impossible for us to guarantee with absolute certainty that the information collected and utilized by HostPro is not derived from a child.

Disclosure   
HostPro will not sell, rent, trade, or disclose individual Customer information to any third parties or outside companies who will use the information to contact you or who will share the information with others without your permission. It may be necessary to disclose information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating HostPro's policies or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the rights or property of HostPro, other HostPro users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. HostPro may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, Service, and improve our products and Services. 

Please note HostPro may disclose demographic information, e.g., zip codes, as a whole to third parties. Individual demographic information will not be available to third parties or outside companies without your permission.

Use of Information   
The use of an individual's e-mail address is necessary to keep our Customers well informed of maintenance issues, escalated critical issues and problem resolutions that may arise with your HostPro Service. We may also use e-mail addresses to provide our Customers with informative newsletters. 

We like to keep our Customers informed via e-mail and other means. Sometimes HostPro uses personal and demographic information to help us determine which HostPro products and Services are most likely to be of interest to you or help diagnose problems with our servers or administration of our sites. We also use demographic information to gather general interest in our products, to help in the analysis of product usage, purchasing, and target markets. 

Please note that HostPro does provide information to outside companies (such as a credit card processing company) who perform certain functions on our behalf for billing purposes. We will not permit those companies to use the gathered information for other than the stated purpose.

If you want to change or modify information you have previously provided to us, please either go back to the site where you provided such information or contact us by sending an e-mail to: www.postmaster@hostpro.net or www.postmaster@micron.net.
