Information Repus X Web Hosting gathers and tracks Repus X Web Hosting gathers two types of information about users:
Information that users provide through
optional and voluntary submissions. These are voluntary
submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to
participate in our message boards or forums, to email
a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys:
Information Repus X Web Hosting gathers
through aggregated tracking information derived mainly
by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information
allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs
and to help us provide a better service to our customers.
Under no circumstances does Repus X Web Hosting divulge
any information about an individual user to a third
party.
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following services, which require some
type of voluntary submission of personal information
by users:
Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We will offer electronic newsletters to users.
Repus X Web Hosting gathers the email addresses of
users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove
themselves from this mailing list by following the
link provided in every newsletter that points users
to the subscription management page. Users can also
subscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration.
Message boards/forums
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums
must register separately for these services (free
of charge) in order to post messages, although they
needn't register to visit the site. During registration
the user is required to supply a username, password,
and email address.
"E-mail this to a friend" Service
Our site users can choose to electronically forward
a link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking
"e-mail this to a friend". The user must
provide their email address, as well as that of the
recipient. This information is used only in the case
of transmission errors and, of course, to let the
recipient know who sent the email. The information
is not used for any other purpose.
Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so
they can easily share their opinions with other users
and see what our audience thinks about important issues.
Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated
and are not identifiable to any particular user. Repus X Web Hosting may use a system to "tag" users
after they have voted, so they can vote only once
on a particular question. This tag is not correlated
with information about individual users.
Surveys
Repus X Web Hosting may occasionally conduct user surveys
to better target our products to our audience. We
never share any of this information about specific
individuals with any third party.
Usage tracking
Repus X Web Hosting tracks user traffic patterns throughout
all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this
information with data about individual users. Repus X Web Hosting does break down overall usage statistics
according to a user's domain name, browser type, and
MIME type by reading this information from the browser
string (information contained in every user's browser).
Repus X Web Hosting sometimes tracks
and catalogs the search terms that users enter in our
Search function, but this tracking is never associated
with individual users. We use tracking information to
determine which areas of our sites users like and don't
like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track
what individual users read, but rather how well each
page performs overall. This helps us continue to build
a better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie"
in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself
does not contain Personal Information although it will
enable us to relate your use of this site to information
that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But
the only personal information a cookie can contain is
information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read
data off your hard disk or read cookie files created
by other sites. Repus X Web Hosting uses cookies to track
user traffic patterns (as described above).
You can refuse cookies by turning them
off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn
you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning
message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies
turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies
to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling
and surveys.
Use of Information
Repus X Web Hosting uses any information voluntarily
given by our users to enhance their experience in our
network of sites, whether to provide interactive or
personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare
future products based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information
that users voluntarily provide in order to send out
electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate
in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send
out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule
(depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send
out special editions when we think subscribers might
be particularly interested in something we are doing.
Repus X Web Hosting never shares newsletter mailing lists
with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors
or partners.
When we use tracking information to
determine which areas of our sites users like and don't
like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track
what individual users read, but rather how well each
page performs overall. This helps us continue to build
a better service for you. We track search terms entered
in Search function as one of many measures of what interests
our users. But we don't track which terms a particular
user enters.
Repus X Web Hosting creates aggregate
reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for
advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows our
advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows
our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent
to their needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns
of individual users, an advertiser or sponsor will never
know that a specific user clicked their ad. We will
not disclose any information about any individual user
except to comply with applicable law or valid legal
process or to protect the personal safety of our users
or the public.
Sharing of the Information
Repus X Web Hosting uses the above-described information
to tailor our products and content to suit your needs
and help our advertisers better understand our audience's
demographics. We will not share information about individual
users with any third party, except to comply with applicable
law or valid legal process or to protect the personal
safety of our users or the public.
Security
Repus X Web Hosting operates secure data networks protected
by industry standard firewall and password protection
systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically
reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized
individuals have access to the information provided
by our customers.
Opt-out Policy
We give users options wherever necessary and practical.
Such choices include:
- Opting not to register to receive our electronic
newsletters.
- Opting not to participate in certain interactive
areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather
any personally identifiable information from our users.
Your Consent
By using this site, you consent to the collection and
use of this information by Repus X Web Hosting. If we
decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on this page so that you are always aware of
what information we collect, how we use it, and under
what circumstances we disclose it.
