What Personal Information About Customers Does Adept Hosting UK Gather?
Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, providing our services (e.g., domain name registration, web hosting), and communicating with you.
Automatic Information: We receive and store
certain types of information whenever you interact
with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use
"cookies," and we obtain certain types of
information when your Web browser accesses our sites.
Examples of the information we collect and analyze
include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to
connect your computer to the Internet; computer and
connection information such as browser type and version,
operating system, and platform; the full Uniform Resource
Locators (URL) click stream to, through, and from

to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's
movement, and gather broad demographic information
for aggregate use.
- What About Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser. Besides using the information as described above, Adept Hosting UK utilizes cookies to control the flow of the ordering processes by maintaining the state of your online transactions.
Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
- Does Adept Hosting UK Share the Information It Receives?
Yes, we do share information but only as described below. Otherwise we will not provide your personal information without your consent.
WHOIS: We are required by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), the organization that assumes responsibility for domain name allocation, to collect information about you during the domain name registration process. This information includes your full name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and, where provided, your facsimile number. ICANN then requires all registrars to make your full name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and, where provided, your facsimile number, as well as the creation and expiration dates of your domain name registration and the name server information associated with your domain name, to the public via an interactive Web page and a "port 43" WHOIS service. For the purposes of this Privacy Notice we will refer to this information as your "WHOIS Information." Please note that we may not be able to control how members of the public may use the WHOIS Information.
Advertisers: We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
Partners: We partner with other parties to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services.
Agents: We engage other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include processing credit card payments, providing marketing assistance, providing customer services, sending postal mail and email to you, removing repetitive information from customer lists, and analyzing data. These persons have access to personal information needed to perform their functions. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information that you provide to eNom for any secondary purposes.
Service Providers: We engage other companies and individuals to perform enhanced services on our behalf. In addition, certain enhanced services such as our domain search feature require that we contact Internet directories and various search engines on your behalf. Many of our service providers have access to personal information needed to perform their services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Business Transfer: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or their assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, if Adept Hosting UK or all or substantially all of its assets were ever to be acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
Compliance: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Services Agreement and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Adept Hosting UK, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
- How Secure Is Information About Me?
We work to protect the security of your information
during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) software, which encrypts information you input
and the information we may send to our agents.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized
access to your password and to your computer. Be sure
to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
