GXL Hosting strives to offer its
visitors the many advantages
of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized
experience. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name,
e-mail address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms
of this privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email
address to any unauthorized third party.
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are
visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the
services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information
when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request
certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You
may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and
contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of
our site. Like most Web sites, GXL Hosting also collects information
automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be
transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your
Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and
hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may
store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter
that information each time you visit, or may control the number of
times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site.
As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information
through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us
with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to
accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain
portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and
password, and we may not be able to customize the site’s
features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web Hosting Companies, we collect information to enhance
your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We
respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify
you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information
about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other
users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages
are visited most or what features are most attractive).
Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers
and business partners. Again, this information does not include any
Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to
identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected
on GXL Hosting to communicate with you about your registration
and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy;
services and products offered by GXL Hosting and other topics
we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by GXL Hosting
may also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site
administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications
with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the
operation of our site may access such information. We will use your
information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as
we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner
with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user
information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose
your information in response to a court order, at other times when we
believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with
the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement
authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note
we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
GXL Hosting expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates
to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third
parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other
content providers accessible through our site, may have their own
privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during
your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a
GXL Hosting page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by
a third party. Also, through GXL Hosting you may be introduced
to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features, contests or
sweepstakes offered by other parties. GXL Hosting is not
responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You
should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties
when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third
party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third
parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some
of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example,
some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include
cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a
particular advertisement before. Other features available on our site
may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or
other technology to gather information. GXL Hosting does not
control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting
information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such
third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that
information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by
third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are
beyond the control of GXL Hosting and this policy.
Children
GXL Hosting does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally
Identifiable Information from or about children under 13 except as
permitted by law. If we discover we have received any information from
a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete that
information immediately. If you believe GXL Hosting has any
information from or about anyone under 13 years of age, please contact
us at the address listed below.

Changes to this Policy
GXL Hosting reserves the right to change this policy at any
time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your continued
use of our site following the posting of changes to these terms will
mean you accept those changes. Information collected prior to the time
any change is posted will be used according to the rules and laws that
applied at the time the information was collected.
