Hostalgia Technologies (hereafter referred to as "Hostalgia"). respects the privacy of every individual who visits our websites. This privacy statement provides notice of the standards and terms under which Hostalgia protects the privacy of information supplied by visitors to sites on the World Wide Web that are owned and operated by Hostalgia. This privacy statement provides notice of our information collection practices and of the ways in which your information may be used. This policy may change from time to time, so please check back periodically to review this information.

In the course of serving its customers, Hostalgia acquires stores and transmits customer communications and information that customers may regard as private or sensitive. Some of this information - such as the customer's name, address, telephone number, and credit card data - is provided to Hostalgia by its customers in order to establish service. Other information - such as the customer's account status, choice of services, and customer logs - is created and maintained by Hostalgia in the normal course of providing service.

Hostalgia also uses cookies, which are small pieces of information that a web site can store in a designated file on a user's computer for various reasons. For example, Hostalgia uses cookies on the landing pages of products sold online which record the customer information that is required on the order form. This information is then forwarded to an internal sales tracking database within Hostalgia. In addition, Hostalgia may store customers' electronic mail and other communications as a necessary incident to the transmission and delivery of those communications.

A. How customer information is used:
When personally-identifiable information is provided to Hostalgia through one of our websites, it will be used to fulfill a specific request. In most cases, the opportunity is given to select whether or not Hostalgia can to use this information for additional purposes. Hostalgia reserves the right, in its discretion, to send bulletins and other important information about Hostalgia services to its clients and visitors.

In the absence any instructions otherwise, Hostalgia may use information personal-identifiable provided to provide information about additional services and products offered by Hostalgia business affiliates and partners, Hostalgia authorized agents, and other goods and services providers with whom Hostalgia has relationships and whose offerings might be of interest to our clients and visitors. Hostalgia will not, however, sell or trade your personally-identifiable information unless we are authorized or legally required to do so, or in the case of imminent physical harm to the visitor or others (See: Disclosure of customer information and communications).

On those Hostalgia sites where credit card information or other ordering information is provided via the web, Hostalgia protects and secures this information by employing commercially customary web-based security and encryption protocols, examples of which include Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Secure Electronic Transaction (SET). On those sites where information is voluntarily offered using any feedback, data, answers, questions, comments, suggestions, ideas or the like, Hostalgia will treat that portion of the information as non-confidential and nonproprietary and, except as otherwise expressed in this privacy statement, Hostalgia assumes no obligation to protect such information from disclosure.

B. Disclosure of customer information and communications
Hostalgia will not otherwise disclose its customers' personal and account information unless Hostalgia has reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, make contact with, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm or interfering with the rights or property of Hostalgia, Hostalgia's customers, or others, or where Hostalgia has a good faith belief that the law requires such disclosure.

Hostalgia also will not, except for reasons stated below, disclose to third parties the contents of any electronic mail or other electronic communications that Hostalgia stores or transmits for its customers.

Hostalgia disclaims any intention to censor, edit or engage in ongoing review or surveillance of communications stored on or transmitted through its facilities by customers or others. Hostalgia will, however, review, delete or block access to communications that may harm Hostalgia, its customers or third parties.
