If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us.

Instaweb is in the business of putting people in touch with other people. That requires more than simply offering innovative web services. It also requires that we understand you, our customer, and your needs.

We get to know you primarily through the information you provide to us when registering for, or using, one or more of our services. The information you provide ranges from basic contact information, to payment information, to the technical details of your web site creation, maintenance and hosting. The Signup Page found here is a representative illustration of the information we request of you. All of the information we request from you when purchasing our services is obligatory unless otherwise noted on the relevant form. When you purchase our services, you agree to provide and maintain accurate, complete and updated information

After you've signed up for our services, we may be in communication with you about your account, technical questions you may have about services provided by us, or any other matter relating to those services. Those communications are essential to our relationship with you and to our ability to provide you with quality services that are responsive to your needs. At the same time, those communications give us helpful insights about you, your preferences and the ways in which we might improve our services. We therefore may maintain this information for future use.

Additionally, for operational and quality assurance purposes, we take note of whether and how you use the information and services that we provide, such as by recording site traffic patterns.

The information we receive from or about you is stored on systems designed to prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of that information. We also encrypt all your information stored on our systems in the interest of heightened privacy protection and information integrity.

Instaweb maintains a Project Folio on the Instaweb web site, of web sites designed by our team. As a Instaweb web design customer your websites’ HomePage maybe added in the form of a link or image snapshot to the Folio.

You have the ability to correct or change certain information in our records, such as your address and contact information. To access information or change / update information we hold about you, simply contact us, with your request or use the Control Panel on the Instaweb website. You may change this information at any time and as often as necessary.

We use information about you for purposes of monitoring and improving our internal operations, as well as to ensure that we: (i) bill you properly, (ii) administer your account in accordance with your agreements with us and (iii) properly perform the services you have requested.

We also use the information we collect to monitor and improve our internal operations, as well as to improve the experience of users in our network of sites. For example, we may correlate Web site traffic information with data about individual users. We may also break down overall usage statistics according to customers' domain names, browser types, and MIME types by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).

Finally, we use the information we collect to direct important notices and information affecting your account or services, as well as to provide general information that may be of interest to you, including newsletters, surveys, important updates and contests, and information about our service or product offerings or the offerings of our business affiliates or other members of Instaweb. You may opt out* of receiving information from us simply by notifying us of your desire in accordance with the opt-out instructions contained in any information message you receive from us or by using the contact us page on the Instaweb website. Note, however, that in order to fulfill our service obligations to you, we must continue sending you notices and other important information affecting your account or services.

*iHOST25 Account holders can not opt-out from any mailings. Your acceptance of mailings ensures your iHOST25 Free Acount stays active and free from ads on your site.

When you register or reserve a domain name through us, our registrar unit must disclose your domain name and its associated Internet Protocol ("IP") numbers to the appropriate registry in order to make your chosen domain name a functional address on the Internet. Our registry unit discloses each registered domain name and its associated IP numbers ("TLD zone files") to TLD server administrators for the purpose of ensuring that the domain name operates as a functional address on the Internet. Consistent with the current rules and policies for the Domain Name System, our registry unit also discloses the TLD zone files to other interested persons, provided those persons agree, among other things, not to use the TLD zone files for improper purposes, including the transmission of unsolicited commercial e-mail.

We may share certain information about you with those of our vendors who are responsible for handling your account or performing other necessary services that you require. Although we may share sensitive financial information (i.e., credit card numbers, banking information), security information (e.g., account passwords) and personal communications (e.g., personal e-mail messages or message board postings) with such vendors where necessary and appropriate, we will not share such information with other third parties, except in response to formal requests (e.g., subpoena or court order) made in connection with litigation or arbitration proceedings directly relating to a domain name registration or other services we provide.

By purchasing our services, you obtain the protections of, and consent to the data processing practices described in, this Privacy Policy.

Only those Instaweb employees that have a legitimate business purpose for accessing and handling personal information obtained by us are given authorization to do so. The unauthorized access or use of such information by a Instaweb employee is prohibited and constitutes grounds for disciplinary action.

Additionally, our information management systems are configured in such a way as to block or inhibit employees from accessing information that they have no authority to access.

These vendors and business partners are not authorized to use such information for purposes beyond those specified by us and are required to preserve the confidentiality with which we treat such information.
