Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy (hereinafter referred to as “Policy”) outlines the detailed types of information collected and recorded by HostingCore.in (“the Website,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and explicates how this information is utilized and managed.

Your privacy is a fundamental commitment for us. This Policy meticulously describes our comprehensive practices concerning the collection, processing, usage, storage, and disclosure of information in conjunction with your access to and interaction with our website. By accessing, browsing, or utilizing HostingCore.in, you explicitly acknowledge and consent to the terms and conditions stipulated within this Privacy Policy. Should you disagree with any part of this Policy, you are advised to refrain from using our Website.

1. Information Collection and Types of Data

HostingCore.in gathers two principal categories of information from its users:

1.1. Personal Information Voluntarily Provided by You

This category encompasses data that directly identifies you or can be used to identify you, which you knowingly and willingly provide to us through various interactions on the Website.

  • Email Address: When you elect to subscribe to our newsletter, which delivers updates, insightful guides, and valuable tips pertaining to blogging, your email address is exclusively collected. This personal identifier is solely used for the explicit purpose of distributing the content you have subscribed to receive. We ensure that you maintain full control over your subscription preferences and retain the right to unsubscribe from these communications at any given time, via a clear unsubscribe link provided in every newsletter.
  • Comments Data: Should you choose to engage with our content by submitting a comment on any of our blog posts, we collect the name (which may be a chosen pseudonym or your real name) and the associated email address that you provide within the comment submission form. The email address serves strictly for verification and moderation purposes to prevent spam and ensure legitimate engagement; it is never publicly displayed alongside your comment. Any content you choose to publish in comments (e.g., your name/pseudonym, the comment text itself) will become publicly visible.

1.2. Non-Personal Information Collected Automatically (Usage Data & Tracking Technologies)

This category refers to data that does not directly identify you but provides insights into your browsing behavior and technical interaction with our Website. This information is gathered automatically as you navigate and interact with HostingCore.in.

  • Website Analytics Data: We leverage industry-standard, third-party web analytics services, notably Google Analytics, to systematically collect data regarding website usage patterns. This aggregated and anonymized data is crucial for us to comprehensively understand user behavior, identify popular content, analyze navigation pathways, and ascertain traffic sources. This process enables us to continuously refine and enhance the quality of our content and optimize the overall user experience. The types of data collected under this category typically include, but are not limited to:
    • Device Information: Type of device used (e.g., mobile, desktop, tablet).
    • Browser Information: Browser type and version (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari).
    • Operating System: Your device’s operating system (e.g., Windows, macOS, Android, iOS).
    • Page Interaction Data: Details of the pages you visit on our Website, the sequence of pages visited, and the duration of your stay on each page.
    • Referral Information: The URL of the website that directed you to HostingCore.in.
    • Geographical Data: General geographical location data, typically at a country or city level, derived from IP addresses (which are anonymized before storage by analytics providers). This does not reveal your precise street address.
  • Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies: We employ “cookies” and similar tracking technologies (such as pixels, beacons, and scripts) to monitor activity on our service and to retain certain information about your browsing session. Cookies are small data files deposited on your device by your web browser. Their functions on our Website include:
    • Website Traffic Analysis: Facilitating detailed analysis of website traffic and user behavior through analytics services like Google Analytics.
    • User Preferences: Remembering certain user preferences for enhanced convenience (e.g., language settings, login status if applicable, or dismissal of a notification bar).
    • Affiliate Tracking: Where applicable, if you engage with an affiliate link present on HostingCore.in and subsequently make a purchase on the linked third-party website, a cookie may track your referral from our site. This enables us to receive a small commission from the merchant, at absolutely no additional cost or impact to your purchase price. These cookies solely serve the purpose of attribution and financial remuneration for our referral.

2. Purpose and Legal Basis for Information Use

The collected information, both personal and non-personal, is utilized for the following explicit operational, analytical, and improvement-oriented purposes:

  • Service Delivery: To administer and deliver the newsletter content you have specifically requested, ensuring timely and relevant distribution.
  • User Engagement: To facilitate the submission and subsequent moderation of user comments on our articles, fostering community engagement while maintaining content quality.
  • Website Enhancement: To rigorously analyze website performance, user engagement metrics, and content popularity to continually refine and optimize our offerings, ensuring that HostingCore.in remains a valuable and relevant resource for its users.
  • Technical Operations and Security: To diligently identify, prevent, diagnose, and resolve any technical issues or vulnerabilities affecting the functionality, stability, or security of the Website.

Our legal basis for processing your personal information is primarily your consent (for newsletter subscriptions and comments) and our legitimate interest in operating and improving our Website (for analytical data).

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure Policy

HostingCore.in adheres to a stringent policy regarding your information:

  • No Sale or Trade: We categorically state that we do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties for their marketing or any other purposes.
  • Third-Party Service Providers: Non-personal, anonymized, and aggregated usage data may be shared with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., Google Analytics, cloud hosting providers, email service providers for newsletters) who assist us in operating our Website, conducting our business, performing website analytics, or serving our users. These third parties are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of this data and are strictly prohibited from using your information for any purpose other than providing the specific services for which they were engaged by us.
  • Legal Requirements and Protection: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency request). We may also disclose your information in good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
    • Comply with a legal obligation.
    • Protect and defend the rights or property of HostingCore.in.
    • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Website.

5. Data Security Measures

We are committed to safeguarding the integrity and security of both the personal and non-personal information collected. We implement a variety of reasonable and appropriate technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include, but are not limited to, data encryption, secure server environments, access controls, and regular security audits.

While we strive to employ commercially acceptable methods to protect your personal data, it is crucial to understand that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage can ever be guaranteed as 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot provide an absolute guarantee of data security.

Upon verification, we will take prompt and decisive action to remove such information from our records.

7. Changes and Updates to This Privacy Policy

Any alterations or amendments will become effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy on this specific page.
