This privacy statement demonstrates our commitment to user privacy. We
have detailed below our procedures and practices for collecting and using
information when you visit Z-Host.
Information collected
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your
web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse
the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms
referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected
information as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
Additionally when you create an account, make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
Uses of Personal Information
Z-Host reserves the right to contact its members when required.
Members can contact Z-Host and ask to have their membership terminated and their data removed.
A newsletter may be sent out to our members.
At any time members can ask to be removed from this mailing list by following the instructions provided in each newsletter.
Where you register domain names through us we will use your personal details, usually including your name, address, telephone number, company name and email address as the contact details for the domain name registration.
This information is usually published in a "whois" entry for the domain name and is then publically available.
For most domain name registrations we offer whois privacy protection, which hides your personal details from the whois database.
Where available this option can be enabled on the registration details page within the Z-Host members area.
Due to restrictions of some top level domain registries we are not able to offer this on all domain names.
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
Communicate with you;
Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
We do not sell or otherwise circulate your personal details. We may share your Personal Information to comply with applicable
laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to
otherwise protect our rights.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.

address called an "IP address." This may or may not correspond uniquely
to a particular computer.
Browser type: A user's browser is a software program running on a
computer that allows users to access documents on the World Wide Web.
Browsers can be either text or graphic. They read HTML coded pages that

Web pages. Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer are
examples of Web browsers. Browser type typically discloses hardware
