InternetHosting.com knows that you care how information
about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that
we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our
privacy policy. By visiting any of the sites offered by InternetHosting.com,

Notice. For question on the Privacy Notice please contact info@shareddiscount.com.
- What Personal Information About Customers Does InternetHosting.com
Gather?
- Information You Give Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site
or give us in any other way. We use the information that you provide
for such purposes as responding to your requests, providing our
services (e.g., domain name registration, DNS hosting), and communicating
with you.
- Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types
of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like
many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types
of information when your Web browser accesses our sites. Examples
of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet
protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet;
computer and connection information such as browser type and version,
operating system, and platform; the full Uniform Resource Locators
(URL) click stream to, through, and from our Web site, including
date and time. We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer
the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use.
- What About Cookies?
- Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your
computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems
to recognize your browser. Besides using the information as described
above, InternetHosting.com utilizes cookies to control the flow
of the ordering processes by maintaining the state of your online
transactions.
Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (for
example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control
over these cookies.
- Does InternetHosting.com Share the Information It Receives?
Yes, we do share information but only as described below. Otherwise
we will not provide your personal information without your consent.
- WHOIS: We are required by the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), the organization that assumes
responsibility for domain name allocation, to collect information
about you during the domain name registration process. This information
includes your full name, mailing address, phone number, email
address, and, where provided, your facsimile number. ICANN then
requires all registrars to make your full name, mailing address,
phone number, email address, and, where provided, your facsimile
number, as well as the creation and expiration dates of your domain
name registration and the name server information associated with
your domain name, to the public via an interactive Web page and
a "port 43" WHOIS service. For the purposes of this Privacy Notice
we will refer to this information as your "WHOIS Information."
Please note that we may not be able to control how members of
the public may use the WHOIS Information.
- Advertisers: We will share aggregated demographic information
with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal
information that can identify any individual person.
- Partners: We partner with other parties to provide specific
services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share
names, or other contact information that is necessary for the
third party to provide these services.
- Agents: We engage other companies and individuals to
perform functions on our behalf. Examples include processing credit
card payments, providing marketing assistance, providing customer
services, sending postal mail and email to you, removing repetitive
information from customer lists, and analyzing data. These persons
have access to personal information needed to perform their functions.
These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information that you provide to InternetHosting.com
for any secondary purposes.
- Service Providers: We engage other companies and individuals
to perform enhanced services on our behalf. For example, we have
engaged Critical Path, Inc. to provide free electronic mail services
to our domain name registrants. In addition, certain of our enhanced
services such as our Web Site Generator require that we contact
Internet directories and various search engines on your behalf.
Many of our service providers have access to personal information
needed to perform their services. These parties are not allowed
to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose
of providing these services.
- Business Transfer: As we continue to develop our business,
we might sell or buy businesses or their assets. In such transactions,
customer information generally is one of the transferred business
assets. Also, if InternetHosting.com, Inc. or all or substantially
all of its assets were ever to be acquired, customer information
will of course be one of the transferred assets.
- Compliance: We release account and other personal information
when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce
or apply our Services Agreement and other agreements; or protect
the rights, property, or safety of InternetHosting.com, our users,
or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies
and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
- How Secure Is Information About Me?
- We work to protect the security of your information during transmission
by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information
you input and the information we may send to our agents.
- InternetHosting.com has gone to great lengths to ensure your
information is securely obtained and held in compliance with the
Card Holder Information Security Program. For example, we encrypt
your credit card number before it is stored in our database. This
ensures that no one may access your credit card from our system.
- It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access
to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when
finished using a shared computer.
- What Information Can I Access?
- InternetHosting.com gives you access to certain information
about you for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases,
updating that information. To view or change this information,
log-in to your account.

practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware
when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of
