Personal information

Information collected online is usually defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable.

We request personal information when you register your company in our catalog, register a product, request a service, answer a survey, enter a contest, correspond with us or engage in certain other activities on our website.

As a visitor to this site, you can engage in many activities without providing any personal information. In connection with some activities, such as sign up for one of our services, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form.

It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, we may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, email address, mailing address etc. Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary.

When ordering products or services on the site, you may be asked to provide a credit card number.

Any specific (hidden) information you provide us is for our internal use only. We will not share your main email address, first and last name or other specific information that we may learn about you with anyone.

Updating

Whost.info offers users the ability to change certain personal identifiable information collected during the sign up process via our control center or upon request. Users who wish to change this information, or who have any questions about how our services work can contact us. Please note, though, that our sites do not offer users the means to delete personal identifiable information associated with past use of the web sites' services.

Statistics

Whost.info collects some information each time a visitor comes to a our site so we can improve the overall quality of the visitor's online experience. Whost.info collects the visitor's IP address, referral data (e.g., the internet address of the last web page visited by a user before clicking over to our site), and browser and platform type (e.g., a opera browser on a linux platform) for more than 2 years.
Whost.info may also use cookies to track your visit to our web site. While our web servers may automatically log your IP address, this information does not identify you and you remain anonymous. Whost.info collects this user information for purposes of site monitoring, service improvement, and targeted advertising. You do not have to register with whost.info before we can collect this anonymous information.

Such information is not correlated with any personal information.

Public info

Please remember that almost all information you submit in our catalog, will be deemed public information and is not confidential (for private info: see Personal information) There is a risk in such communication venues that information can be collected and used by others within the online community to send unsolicited email messages from other parties, outside Whost.info. Some of the messages you receive may be useful to you, but some may not.

Please be careful and responsible when you are online.

Spam

Across the web, it is generally accepted that SPAM is an inconsiderate and improper business practice. In an effort to curtail unsolicited email, whost.info blocks certain email addresses and domains from sending messages to email addresses at our domain.

We never use email marketing to promote our site of services.
