1. Information
Calgary Web Hosting Collects and tracks
Calgary
Web Hosting collects this type of information about users:
a) data that users provide through optional, voluntary participation in
e-mail and forums; b) data Calgary Web Hosting
collects through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying
page views throughout our site. Such information may be used in the future
to help our advertisers better understand the demographics of our audience.
In addition, c) data is collected through our Contact Us / Support page
or on a form that visitors may fill out to receive technical support and
d) data is provided by visitors through Tell a Friend - however this data
is neither collected nor tracked. Calgary Web
Hosting will never divulge information about an individual
user to a third party (except to comply with any applicable laws).
Calgary
Web Hosting collects user information in the following processes:
Support Forms:
In order to provide visitors with the highest level of technical support,
Calgary Web Hosting gives the visitors
to site a way to provide information via a form that assists to define
and clarify their technical support requests. When submitting a technical
support request, users are asked to provide the following identifiable
information: e-mail address, name, country, URL of their site, home page
file name, reason for contact and 'describe the issue'. Of these, only
the e-mail, URL, reason for contact and 'describe the issue' fields are
mandatory. The remaining fields are not mandatory, we ask for the information
so we can provide more personal customer care. If a visitor refrains from
providing all of this data, he will still get a response to his questions.
E-mails sent to support are kept only for problem solving purposes and
this information is not shared or disclosed to any outside third
parties.
Calgary
Web Hosting Recommend Us" service. A visitor can choose to
electronically forward the Calgary Web Hosting
link to someone else by clicking the link "Recommend Us" at the left of
our homepage. The user must provide their e-mail address, as well as that
of the recipient. Calgary Web Hosting
does not retain this information. The other use of this information is
of course, to let the recipient know who sent the link. This information
is not used for any other purpose.
Usage tracking:
Calgary Web Hosting tracks user traffic
patterns throughout our site. The tracking may be done in real-time by
Calgary Web Hosting live agents or
off-line using site log files. Calgary Web Hosting
breaks down 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). This information is used
only to provide better service to our visitors by offering them assistance
during their stay in our site. We do not correlate this information with
data about individual users.
Cookies:
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard
drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such
as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited. Nevertheless,
the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you
supply yourself. A cookie can't read data of your hard disk or read cookie
files created by other sites. Calgary Web Hosting

to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message
with each cookie. You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser.

2. Use
of the information
Calgary
Web Hosting uses any information voluntarily given by our users
to enhance their experience in the site, whether to better prepare future

information that users voluntarily provide during chat sessions (textual
text scripts) in order to enhance the quality of assistance they may

for advertisers and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise

an advertiser will not know that a specific user clicked its ad.
