Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your browser. Most web browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of portions of our website or customer portal.

We may also use third-party website services, analytics services, security tools, or other technologies that independently collect limited technical information regarding website usage.

4. IP Addresses and Network Information

Because Metanet Hosting provides Internet, hosting, and network-related services, IP addresses and other network information are an inherent part of operating our systems.

  • Investigate abuse or security incidents
  • Prevent unauthorized access
  • Respond to attacks or malicious traffic

We do not consider the routine technical processing of IP addresses necessary to provide Internet and hosting services to be a sale of personal information.

8. Data Security

Metanet Hosting uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, or misuse.

However, no Internet transmission, network, computer system, or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through or stored by our systems.

Customers are also responsible for maintaining appropriate passwords, access controls, software updates, server configurations, backups, and other security measures relating to their own systems and accounts.

If you contact Metanet Hosting or become a customer, we may send communications concerning your inquiry, account, invoices, support requests, service changes, maintenance, security matters, or other matters relating to your relationship with us.

We may also periodically send information about Metanet Hosting products or services where permitted by applicable law.

Marketing communications may include instructions for opting out of future marketing messages. Operational, billing, security, account, and service-related communications may continue even if you opt out of promotional communications.

12. Domain Registration Services

If you purchase or manage domain-name services through Metanet Hosting, certain registration information may be transmitted to domain registries, registrars, or related service providers as necessary to register and maintain the domain.

Domain registration information may also be subject to policies established by ICANN, domain registries, registrars, and applicable law.

13. Children’s Privacy

MetanetHosting.com and our commercial hosting services are not directed toward children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through our website. If we become aware that such information has been collected without appropriate authorization, we may take reasonable steps to delete it.

  • Correct inaccurate account information

Certain information may need to be retained despite a request for deletion when required for legitimate business, security, contractual, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, or legal purposes.

We may take reasonable steps to verify the identity of a person making a privacy-related request.

If our practices materially change in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate.
