Public: USA Webhost Privacy Statement for Non-Customers

Summary:

We make no effort to identify public users of our site. No identifying data is disclosed to any third party for any purpose. Data that we collect is used only for server administration.

This statement applies to non-customer interactions with the USA Webhost Web servers. It does not apply to email sent to USA Webhost staff or customers.

Any questions regarding the web site and the privacy policy can be directed to <site-policy|at|usawebhost|dot|com>. Email interactions are guided by general net-etiquette conventions.

We log http requests to our server. This means that we know the originating IP (e.g. 18.29.0.1) address of a user agent requesting a URL. We also know the Referer and User-Agent information accompanied with an HTTP request.

We do not log the specific identity of visitors. We occasionally analyze the log files to determine which files are most requested and the previous site or user agent which prompted the request. Our logging is passive; we do not use technologies such as cookies to maintain any information on users, other than to maintain session state, the original intent of HTTP COOKIES.

We also log requests to our search, cgi, and list maintenance services. This data is only used for administration and researching the efficacy of our tools.

Logged information is kept indefinitely as admistrative material; it is not disclosed outside of USA Webhost host site personnel. Aggregate (completely non-identifying) statistics generated from these logs may be reported as part of registrar accreditation or similar processes.
