Privacy Policy

Understand how HostMyCode collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects personal data across its website, client area, billing systems, and hosting services.

Privacy Overview

Clear privacy disclosures built around current transparency standards

This policy explains the categories of data we collect, why we use it, who we share it with, how long we retain it, and what rights may apply to you.

01

Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy explains how HostMyCode collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal data when you visit our website, create an account, place an order, contact us, open support tickets, or otherwise use our hosting-related services.

This policy applies to information processed by HostMyCode in connection with its websites, client area, support workflows, billing systems, and related service operations. Additional product-specific notices may apply where a service requires separate handling disclosures.

If you use HostMyCode services on behalf of a company, agency, or other organization, you are responsible for ensuring that the organization is aware of this policy where applicable.

02

Categories of personal data we collect

Depending on how you interact with HostMyCode, we may collect identity and contact information such as your name, email address, phone number, billing address, company details, and account credentials or account-related identifiers.

We may also process billing and transaction information, service order records, support-ticket content, communication history, fraud-prevention signals, IP addresses, device and browser information, usage logs, and other technical data needed to operate, secure, and improve our services.

Where a service requires domain registration, payment handling, account verification, or abuse-response review, we may also process registrar-related data, payment metadata, and verification or compliance information supplied by you or generated during service delivery.

03

How we collect personal data

We collect personal data directly from you when you submit forms, contact us, place orders, use the client area, open support requests, respond to verification requests, or otherwise provide information to HostMyCode.

We also collect certain information automatically through server logs, cookies, analytics tools, security tooling, payment workflows, fraud-prevention checks, and account-activity monitoring necessary to operate and secure our services.

In some cases, we may receive data from third parties such as payment processors, domain registries and registrars, anti-fraud vendors, analytics providers, support tooling, or infrastructure partners involved in delivering or protecting the service you use.

04

Why we use personal data

HostMyCode uses personal data to provide and maintain services, process orders, deliver customer support, send billing and service notices, provision products, authenticate accounts, detect abuse, prevent fraud, and keep the platform secure and operational.

We may also use personal data to communicate about active services, renewal status, policy updates, service-impacting notices, operational incidents, product improvements, and customer requests. Where permitted by law, we may also send service-related marketing or promotional communications, subject to applicable consent or opt-out rules.

Where privacy laws require us to identify a legal basis for processing, those bases may include contract performance, legitimate interests, legal compliance, fraud prevention, security, consent where required, and other lawful bases recognized by applicable privacy law.

05

Cookies, analytics, and similar technologies

HostMyCode uses cookies and similar technologies for core site functionality, security, account sessions, performance analysis, service measurement, and user-experience improvement.

Some cookies or similar technologies may be provided by analytics, chat, advertising, consent-management, or embedded-service providers that support our website and customer workflows.

You can control certain cookies through your browser settings or consent preferences where available. Blocking some cookies may reduce functionality or prevent parts of the site or client area from working as intended.

06

How we share personal data

HostMyCode may share personal data with vendors, subprocessors, and service providers that support payment processing, fraud prevention, analytics, support systems, live chat, email delivery, domain registration, infrastructure operations, compliance handling, and other core business functions.

We may also disclose personal data where necessary to comply with law, enforce our policies, respond to legal requests, investigate abuse, protect our rights, protect other customers, or reduce security or fraud risk.

HostMyCode does not disclose personal data to third parties for their own unrelated use except where required for service delivery, legal compliance, or another disclosed lawful purpose.

07

International transfers and data retention

Because HostMyCode operates online services and uses globally distributed vendors and infrastructure providers, personal data may be processed in multiple jurisdictions depending on the service, payment method, support workflow, or operational tool involved.

Where cross-border transfers apply, HostMyCode takes commercially reasonable steps to use appropriate safeguards, contractual protections, or other transfer mechanisms required by applicable law.

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for service delivery, billing, legal compliance, security, dispute handling, fraud prevention, abuse investigation, backup retention, and legitimate business recordkeeping. Retention periods may vary by data type and legal obligation.

08

Your privacy rights

Depending on your location and the privacy laws that apply to you, you may have rights to request access to personal data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion of certain data, restriction of processing, portability of certain data, objection to certain processing, or withdrawal of consent where processing depends on consent.

If you are covered by privacy laws that provide specific opt-out rights, including rights related to profiling, targeted advertising, or certain categories of data sharing, you may submit a request through the appropriate contact or account channel. Where required by applicable law, HostMyCode will also process browser-based opt-out preference signals or similar mechanisms in accordance with that law.

To protect account security, HostMyCode may request verification before fulfilling privacy requests and may decline or limit requests where an exception applies, the request cannot be verified, or compliance is not legally required.

09

Security, children, and policy updates

HostMyCode uses commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No system or transmission method is completely secure, and customers remain responsible for securing their own applications, credentials, and hosted content.

HostMyCode services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children where such collection is prohibited by applicable law.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time by publishing the revised version on our website. The current version will apply from the effective date shown on the page, and continued use of the services after changes become effective may constitute acceptance of the updated policy where permitted by law.
