HitchHosting policies and procedures for handling customer information have been created with the understanding that Internet technologies are still evolving and that Internet business methods are continuing to evolve to meet the needs and opportunities of the changing technologies. As a result, HitchHostings policies and procedures are subject to change.

In the course of serving its customers, HitchHosting acquires, stores and transmits customer communications and information that customers may regard as private or sensitive. Some of this information - such as the customers name, address, telephone number, and credit card data - is provided to HitchHosting by its customers in order to establish service. Other information - such as the customers account status, choice of services, and customer logs - is created and maintained by HitchHosting in the normal course of providing service.

HitchHosting also uses cookies, which are small pieces of information that a web site can store in a designated file on a users computer for various reasons. For example, HitchHosting uses cookies on the landing pages of products sold online which record the customer information that is required on the order form. This information is then forwarded to an internal sales tracking database within HitchHosting. In addition, HitchHosting may store customers electronic mail and other communications as a necessary incident to the transmission and delivery of those communications.

Data Security

HitchHosting will protect the confidentiality of its customers information, account information and personal communications to the fullest extent possible and consistent with the law and the legitimate interests of HitchHosting, its partners, its employees and other customers of HitchHostings services. To protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of information that is collected from customers, HitchHosting has appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in place.

How is customer information used?
HitchHosting may share customer information with selected partners, for example, to provide customers with information about products which might be of interest to the customer or to enable the customer to take advantage of special partner programs. HitchHosting may also use customer information to provide its customers with system information or information about new or upgraded products.

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. In addition, HitchHosting shares its web site usage information about visitors to HitchHostings web sites with third-party advertising companies for the purpose of targeting HitchHostings Internet banner advertisements on HitchHostings sites and other sites. For this purpose, HitchHosting and such companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous.

Opt Out & Modifications

Customers may opt out of receiving notices of new or upgraded products from HitchHosting and HitchHosting partners by contacting HitchHosting. However, customers may not opt out of receiving information from HitchHosting which is essential for maintaining or updating customers accounts or system information.

Domain name customers who have registered a domain name with HitchHosting and wish to change the Technical Contact from HitchHosting to another company, may send a request to support@hitchhosting.net. It is important to note that customer domain name registration information is made publicly available in the registry of domain names.

Disclosure of customer information and communications

HitchHosting will not otherwise disclose its customers personal and account information unless HitchHosting has reason to believe that disclosing such information is legal and necessary to identify, make contact with, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm or interfering with the rights or property of HitchHosting, HitchHostings customers, or others, or where HitchHosting has a good faith belief that the law requires such disclosure. HitchHosting also will not, except for reasons stated below, disclose to third parties the contents of any electronic mail or other electronic communications that HitchHosting stores or transmits for its customers. The circumstances under which HitchHosting will disclose such electronic customer communications are when:

It is necessary in order to provide service to the customer;
It is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of HitchHosting and its customers;
It is required to cooperate with interception orders, warrants, subpoenas, or other legal process that HitchHosting determines in its sole discretion to be valid and enforceable; and
It is necessary to provide to a law enforcement agency when the contents are inadvertently obtained by HitchHosting and appear to pertain to the commission of a crime

HitchHosting disclaims any intention to censor, edit or engage in ongoing review or surveillance of communications stored on or transmitted through its facilities by customers or others. HitchHosting will, however, review, delete or block access to communications that may harm HitchHosting, its customers or third parties.
