Privacy Policy
1. Privacy Statement
MCS Web Hosting is committed
to respecting and protecting your privacy. We have structured
our Web site so that, in general, you can visit MCS Web
Hosting on the Web without identifying yourself or revealing
any personal information.
Once you choose to host with
us, and provide us personally identifiable information (any
information by which you can be identified), you can be
assured that it will only be used to support your
contact/client relationship with MCS Web Hosting.
2. Awareness
MCS Web Hosting provides this
Online Privacy Statement to make you aware of our privacy
policy, practices and of the choices you can make about the
way your information is collected and used. To make this
notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and
from the left of every page on our website.
What We
Collect
MCS Web Hosting
collects two types of information. The first type is anonymous
information. For instance, we may collect information to tell
us that five thousand people visit this Privacy Policy today,
but we do not know their names, where they live or their date
of birth - they are 'anonymous' to us. This information is
collected for research purposes, is used in the aggregate
(where possible), and remains anonymous. Examples of this
information that we collect are: which web pages you visit on
our site, your browser type, your Internet IP address, and how
long you remained on our site. We use IP addresses to analyze
trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather
broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses
are not linked to personally identifiable information.
The second type
of information that MCS Web Hosting collects is personal
information. MCS Web Hosting will collect personal information
that lets us know the specifics of who you are such as your
name, email address, or postal address. This is information is
collected when you use our online signup forms. This
information includes contact information (like name and
physical address) and financial information (like credit card
number, expiration date). This information is used for billing
purposes and to process and administer your request for
website hosting. If we have trouble processing an order, this
contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in
no way linked to any personally identifiable information while
on our site.
Cookies are used
on our website only during the hosting plan signup process.
This is to ensure smooth running of our systems. These cookies
expire within 7 days.
Sharing
We use a credit card processing company to bill users for
goods and services, and share personal information only to
process billing. These companies do not retain, share, store
or use personally identifiable information for any secondary
purposes. Outside this, MCS Web Hosting does not sell, share,
rent, or disclose any personally identifiable information to
any other party.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that we MCS Web Hosting are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be
aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects personally
identifiable information. This privacy statement applies
solely to information collected by this Web site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users'
information. When users submit sensitive information via the
website, your information is protected both online and
off-line. When our signup form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number), that information is
encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software
in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our
signup form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such
as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
'surfing'.
