This Policy describes how Cheeky Monkey Hosting trading as Cheeky Monkey Hosting and WPhost ("Cheeky Monkey Hosting", "us", "we") collects and uses personal information.
Cheeky Monkey Hosting knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your expectation that we will do so carefully and sensibly. By visiting our Web site(s) or by otherwise interacting with Cheeky Monkey Hosting, you agree to accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Here are the types of information we gather from visitors to Cheeky Monkey Hosting and our customers:
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way, such as by telephone or by electronic mail. For example, we are required by our Registrars and respective domain name Registries, (the organisations which assume responsibility for domain name allocation) to collect information about you during the domain name registration process. This information includes your full name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and where provided, your facsimile number. We also collect certain financial information from you during the domain name registration process or when you sign up for services. Namely, when you sign up for a service or apply to register a domain name through Cheeky Monkey Hosting, we require you to provide a credit card number and billing address before we will process that application.
You are under no obligation to provide any such information described in this Privacy Policy. However, if you choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with certain services or functionality.
Cheeky Monkey Hosting uses "cookies." Cookies receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, our servers track the type of Web browser you are using, and the page to which you link from Cheeky Monkey Hosting. We collect this information to offer better service to our customers and not to track your individual usage patterns.
We also use Google Analytics. Google Analytics is Google’s analytics tool that helps us understand how visitors engage with website content. It may use a set of cookies to collect information and report website usage statistics without personally identifying individual visitors to Google.
