Privacy Policy

We urge all of our visitors/users to review it, and to contact us if they have any questions.
There are two types of information that we collect from visitors and users – anonymous and aggregate data, and personal information which visitors and/or users provide voluntarily.
Anonymous/Aggregate Information
As all websites do, we track visits and usage of our site. We tabulate the number of unique visits and track the traffic patterns, the pages that are viewed, the length of time spend on each page, and the points at which visitors leave our site. We also track the search terms that visitors have used to find us. We do this for the following reasons:
• We want to analyze and evaluate our site, its navigational effectiveness, the load times, and each of its pages, so that we can continue to improve our visitors’ experiences.
• We want to demonstrate to our advertisers and sponsors that we have a good amount of traffic, from where that traffic originates, browsers used, and other data that shows value to them. Keeping current advertisers and obtaining new ones allows us to maintain our free service to our users.
• We provide aggregate information to our sponsors and advertisers so that they may better design the content of the information they present on our site.
• To improve our SEO and thus traffic
At no time do we collect any personal information of visitors to our site.

Information that Visitors/User Voluntarily Provide
usa-hosting.com offers a wide variety of free information and services to visitors, on a subscription basis. Visitors who wish to receive this information voluntarily provide some personal information so that we are able to send requested information or provide access to it on our site. Typical types of information and services include the following:
• Newsletters: We provide a newsletter to our subscribers, and it is sent via email. In order to subscribe to it, then, a visitor/user must provide an email address. At any time, a subscriber may cancel the subscription via the simple procedures at the bottom of each newsletter. In this circumstance, the email access will be wiped from our system.
• Email a Friend Service: should visitors come across some useful information and wish to forward it to someone else, they can provide us with both their email address and that of the recipient. We will send the email and inform the recipient who it has come from. Neither of the email addresses are every shared with anyone else for any other purpose.
• Surveys and Polls: Occasionally, we conduct polls and surveys of our visitors and/or users, so that they may help us improve our site content and our services. We aggregate the results and share them on our site, but no individual or personal information is ever provided either in the results, to our advertisers, to other participants, or to any third party. Respondents will be tagged, so that they cannot respond more than once, in order to maintain the integrity of our polls; however, their personal information is not revealed.
How Personal Information is Used
