Privacy Policy

The customer is solely responsible for any breaches of security affecting servers under their control. If a customer's server is involved in an attack on another server or system, it will be shut down, and an immediate investigation will be launched to determine the cause/source of the attack. In such events, the customer is responsible for the cost to rectify any damage done to their server and any other requirements affected by the security breach.

Hostacks allows Dedicated Server customers to use IRC within the Hostacks network, provided it does not violate any other terms of these Terms of Service. Hostacks will not provide vanity IRC reverse DNS records, and authority over this information remains with Hostacks.

The customer understands that they are responsible for paying for any network resources used to connect their server to the Internet. The customer may request that their server be disconnected from the Internet, but they will still be responsible for paying for any network resources used up to the point of suspension or cancellation.

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
