Privacy Policy
Policy Coverage
This privacy statement governs the collection, use, and dissemination of personal
data from visitors to the MyPowerHost.com web site. All aspects of the presence
are subject to these provisions with the exception of MyPowerHost.com affiliate
advertisements and any other references beyond the MyPowerHost.com domain which
may not necessarily indicate endorsement, in part or whole, by MyPowerHost.com
of the referred sites’ practices. Questions or comments regarding privacy
conduct by MyPowerHost.com beyond the considerations stipulated below should be
directed via support ticket or mail (PO Box 1284, Cicero NY 13039-1284).
Throughout this policy, the terms
"we" and "us" refer to MyPowerHost.com.
Information Collection
MyPowerHost.com may ask for personal information such as a visitor’s name,
address, age, etc. in conjunction with a transaction on our web site either
as requested by the visitor (e.g., account signup) or as requested by MyPowerHost.com
(e.g., a survey). Under any circumstance the visitor --- at his or her sole
discretion --- has the opportunity to choose not to provide the information
for which they are prompted. By declining such a request, a visitor understands
that his or her access to subscription-based services may be compromised.
Any submission of personal information
to MyPowerHost.com is usually held for a period of a few months, but may be maintained
longer pending notification of such housing at the point of data entry. Once
a visitor has submitted personal information, he or she may not request that
it be removed from MyPowerHost.com’s systems except when a written petition
is made to demonstrate how such collection was impermissible in accordance with
New York State law, Federal law, or this privacy policy.
Disclosure of User Data to Third
Parties
Personal information collected by MyPowerHost.com is not rented, sold, or in any
other manner distributed beyond the realms of the MyPowerHost.com staff except
in the following scenarios:
* We provide information to a third
party group operating under a confidentiality agreement with us to assist in
our efforts to serve content and marketing materials; such an establishment
would be forbidden to further distribute information
* We receive a court order, subpoena, or other request from a legal body to
release information or if we are in a position to defend against legal claims;
we may also proactively release user information if we suspect illegal activity,
fraud, or an intent to commit harm originating from one or more user(s) of our
web site
* We transfer ownership of MyPowerHost.com to another firm or forge a merger with
another company; in this case, we will make prominent notification of such,
including statement about how the current privacy policy may be altered
Additionally, affiliate programs
posted on our site may be targeted by geographic location, interests, or other
criteria. These third-party organizations assume that users who interact with
such advertisement materials fit the aforementioned specification; however,
MyPowerHost.com will under no circumstance provide validation of such an assumption
or any other indication --- suspected or confirmed --- about a user’s background
beyond that we targeted a given ad program with the understanding that it was
relevant to our visitor.
Children Under 13
In compliance with COPPA, MyPowerHost.com will not ask children under thirteen
(13) years of age to submit personal or identifying information without parental
consent, nor will we proactively contact members of our visitor base under 13
with any promotional offers of our affiliates. Additionally, we strongly encourage
parental supervision and/or permission whenever a child under 13 makes any form
of transaction with us.
Cookies
As part of our effort to improve service at MyPowerHost.com, we periodically post
and retrieve small amounts of cookie data (a few bytes in size) on our visitors’
computers. This information is accessed solely to examine service popularity
and visitor access patterns within MyPowerHost.com.; these cookies are neither
set nor accessed outside the MyPowerHost.com Internet identity by MyPowerHost.com
or its affiliates.
However, please note that our affiliates
(who we allow to place ads on certain parts of our web site) may set and access
unrelated during a user’s visit with us. These cookies are subject to the
affiliates’ respective privacy policies which are therefore not subject
to the terms outlined herein.
Third Party Cookies
In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party advertiser
may place or recognize a unique "cookie" on your browser.
Confidentiality
MyPowerHost.com employs security mechanisms wherever possible to protect the confidentiality
of information you submit to us. Although portions of this data may be available
to our employees, it is only open in such a manner as deemed reasonably necessary
for our staff to complete its assigned tasks.
Policy Changes
This policy is subject to change when MyPowerHost.com, at its sole discretion,
considers a change in its practices to merit alteration of the terms set forth
herein. Whenever such changes are made, MyPowerHost.com will do its best to post
notice of such in a prominent location on its website (usually in the “News”
section of the presence).
