Hosthead.com ("North Tone Systems", "we", "our" and "us") provides this
Privacy Policy to inform users about our policies and procedures
regarding the collection, use, security, and disclosure of personally
identifiable information received from users of our website found at
www.hosthead.com ("our website"). Please keep in mind that your use of

Who We Are
North Tone Systems offers a
variety of Internet resources, products and services, which include

Our Commitment to Protecting
Your Information
We take the protection and
proper use of your personal information seriously. We respect your
privacy, and take great care to safeguard information in our possession.
Your preferences for use of your information are our highest priority.
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the
correct use of information, North Tone Systems uses commercially
appropriate procedures to safeguard and secure the information we
collect online.
Unfortunately, the transmission
of information via the Internet is not completely secure. However, we
have put in place various security procedures as set out in this Privacy
Policy. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we
cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our website;
any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your
information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try
to prevent unauthorized access.
How We Use Your Information
We use information you provide
to better understand your needs and provide you with better service. We
do not share customer information (including e-mail addresses) with any
third party unless approved by you or required by law. Even within our
family of companies, we restrict access to your information to those
individuals who need it to provide you with services. Except as required
by law, your permission is always secured first should we ever share
your information with third parties that are not acting on our behalf or
governed by our Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
We may collect personal
information in three ways - information you give us, information
collected through web server logs, and information collected through
cookies.
Information you give us: We receive and store any
information you enter on our website; provide for your account or for
billing purposes; give us as part of your application for our Services;
communicate to us by phone, email, or otherwise; or give us in any other
way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you
might not be able to take advantage of our Services and/or website. We
use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to
your requests, billing and providing our Services to you, resolving
disputes or collecting fees, preventing potentially prohibited or
illegal activities, improving our Services and/or website, and
communicating with you.
Web server logs: We record and save information about
you from our web server logs such as your Internet Protocol (IP)
address, the time day you visited and your browser type. This
information is used to verify our records and to provide better service
to you.
Cookies: In order to offer and
provide you with personalized services, we may use "cookies" to store
and help track your information. A cookie is a piece of data that
identifies you as a unique user. We will not disclose our cookies to
third parties except as required by a valid legal process such as a
search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order.
Note:
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your
browser to refuse all cookies. You should be aware that some parts of
our website and Services may not function properly if you refuse
cookies.
Choice
We will not use or share the
personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways
unrelated to the ones described above without first letting you know and
offering you a choice. As previously stated, your permission is always
secured first should we ever share your information with third parties
that are not acting on our behalf or governed by our Privacy Policy.
Our Commitment to Children's
Privacy
We do not seek to collect or
maintain information on our website from those we know are under 18, and
no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.
