We
may at times also use cookies, which are small pieces of information
that a web site can store in a designated file on your computer.
Cookies allow a web application to respond to you as an individual.

The
basic user information collected is used to help us analyze
web traffic and to improve the content of our web site. Cookies
may be used to facilitate your customer interaction with us.
For example, we may use a cookie on the landing page of products
sold online which record the customer information that is
required on the order form, and then forward this information
to our internal sales tracking database.
We
may from time to time disclose to third parties aggregate
information on our web site's traffic profile. For example,
Internet advertising companies may require this data to help
us better target our advertisements on our web site(s) and/or
other web sites.
Note
that our site provides links to products and services offered
by other companies; the company's web site that you link to

While

to your account status, choice of services, and customer logs.
In addition, we may store customers' electronic mail and other

and delivery of those communications.
How

We

HostingHK
may share customer information with selected partners/third
parties, for example, to provide you with information about
products which might be of interest to you or to enable you
to take advantage of special partner programs. HostingHK may
also use customer information to provide customers with system
information or information about new or upgraded products.
We
will not otherwise disclose customer personal and account
information unless we have 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 HostingHK, our
customers, or others, or where HostingHK has a good faith
belief that the law requires such disclosure.
HostingHK
also will not, except for reasons stated below, disclose to
third parties the contents of any electronic mail or other
electronic communications that HostingHK stores or transmits
for its customers. The circumstances under which HostingHK
will disclose such electronic customer communications are
when:
1. |
It
is necessary in order to provide service to the customer;
|
2. |
It
is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of HostingHK
and its customers; |
3. |
It
is required to cooperate with interception orders, warrants,
or other legal process that HostingHK determines in its
sole discretion to be valid and enforceable; and |
4. |
It
is necessary to provide to a law enforcement agency when
the contents are inadvertently obtained by HostingHK and
appear to pertain to the commission of a crime. |
HostingHK
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. HostingHK will,
however, review, delete, or block access to communications
