Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 18, 2026
Last Updated: August 18, 2026

Contractor Web Host (“Contractor Web Host,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you visit https://contractorhost.com, create an account, purchase or use our web-hosting services, communicate with us, or otherwise interact with our website and services.

By using our website or services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our website or services.

1. Who We Are

Contractor Web Host provides website-hosting and related online services, primarily for contractors and service businesses.

Website: https://contractorhost.com
Business name: Contractor Web Host

2. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we process through our public website, customer accounts, billing systems, support communications, marketing activities, and hosting services.

When we process account, billing, or website-usage information for our own business purposes, Contractor Web Host generally acts as the business or data controller responsible for that information.

When customers use our hosting services to collect, store, or process information through their own websites, Contractor Web Host generally acts as a service provider or data processor on behalf of those customers. The customer controls that information and is responsible for its own privacy notices, legal basis, consent practices, and instructions to us.

If you have a privacy request concerning information collected through a website hosted by Contractor Web Host, you should contact the owner or operator of that website first.

3. Personal Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with us.

Information You Provide to Us

We may collect information that you provide directly, including:

• Your name, business name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

• Account usernames, passwords, authentication information, and account preferences.

• Billing address, subscription information, transaction history, and payment status.

• Information included in contact forms, support requests, emails, chats, or other communications.

• Domain names, website details, service selections, and account configuration information.

• Files, databases, backups, email content, website content, and other materials stored through our hosting services.

• Survey responses, reviews, comments, testimonials, or promotional preferences.

• Any other information you voluntarily provide.

Payment Information

Payments may be processed by a third-party payment processor. The payment processor may collect payment-card details, billing information, transaction identifiers, and information used to detect or prevent fraud.

Contractor Web Host generally does not directly store complete payment-card numbers. Payment processing is also governed by the payment processor’s privacy policy and terms.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website or use our services, we and our service providers may automatically collect:

• Your IP address and approximate location derived from your IP address.

• Pages viewed, links clicked, referring pages, access dates and times, and session duration.

• Cookie identifiers, advertising identifiers, and similar online identifiers.

• Login activity, account activity, server logs, bandwidth use, and hosting-resource use.

• Error reports, security events, and information about suspected abuse or fraud.

• Interactions with our emails, advertisements, and support systems.

Customer-Hosted Content

Our hosting services may store or transmit information submitted to, maintained by, or collected through our customers’ websites. This may include website files, databases, backups, contact-form submissions, visitor information, and email content.

We process customer-hosted content to provide, secure, maintain, troubleshoot, and support our hosting services; comply with lawful instructions; prevent abuse; and satisfy legal obligations. We do not control what information our customers collect through their websites.

Customers must not use our services to collect or process personal information unlawfully.

4. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

• Create, administer, secure, and authenticate customer accounts.

• Provide, maintain, monitor, and improve our hosting services.

• Process subscriptions, payments, renewals, refunds, and account changes.

• Send transactional messages, service notices, invoices, and security alerts.

• Personalize website content and understand how visitors use our website.

• Measure website traffic, advertising performance, and marketing effectiveness.

• Send newsletters, offers, or other marketing communications where permitted by law.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, analyze traffic, maintain security, and support advertising.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies support functions such as account login, authentication, security, checkout activity, load balancing, and fraud prevention. Disabling these cookies may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.

Analytics Cookies

We may use Google Analytics or similar services to understand website traffic and visitor behavior. These services may collect IP addresses, device information, cookie identifiers, page activity, and referral information.

You can learn more about Google’s privacy practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Advertising Technologies

We may use the Meta Pixel and other advertising technologies to measure advertising performance, create audiences, and deliver or personalize advertisements. These technologies may collect information about your device and activity on our website and associate it with information held by the advertising provider.

Depending on applicable state law, disclosing information through advertising cookies or pixels may be considered “sharing,” targeted advertising, or a “sale” of personal information, even when no money is exchanged.

You can limit or delete cookies through your browser settings. You may also contact us through the contact form on our website to request that we stop using or disclosing your personal information for targeted advertising where applicable law provides that right.

Where legally required, we will obtain consent before activating nonessential analytics or advertising technologies.

Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Blocking cookies may affect website functionality.

Where legally required and technically supported, we will also process recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control.

6. Email and Marketing Communications

We may use your contact information to send service communications and, where permitted, marketing messages.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in those emails. Even if you opt out of marketing, we may continue sending nonpromotional messages concerning your account, payments, security, service interruptions, or other transactions.

We do not permit third parties to use customer contact lists for their own unrelated marketing unless we disclose that practice and obtain any consent required by law.

7. How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:

Service Providers

We may engage service providers for:

• Web hosting, servers, cloud storage, backups, and data centers.

• Payment processing and fraud prevention.

• Website analytics and performance monitoring.

• Advertising and conversion measurement.

• Email delivery, newsletters, customer support, and help-desk services.

• Cybersecurity, spam filtering, malware scanning, and authentication.

• Accounting, legal services, insurance, and business administration.

These providers may process information only as permitted by their contracts, their applicable privacy terms, and the law.

Advertising and Analytics Providers

We may disclose online identifiers, device information, and website-activity information to analytics and advertising providers, including Google and Meta.

As described above, these disclosures may be treated as targeted advertising, sharing, or a sale under certain privacy laws.

Legal and Safety Disclosures

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe it is necessary to:

• Comply with a law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or valid legal process.

• Respond to lawful government or regulatory requests.

• Protect our customers, visitors, employees, rights, property, systems, or services.

• Investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or violations of our agreements.

• Prevent harm or illegal activity.

Business Transfers

Information may be disclosed or transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, bankruptcy, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction. Any successor’s handling of personal information will remain subject to applicable law.

With Your Direction or Consent

We may disclose information when you direct us to do so or otherwise provide consent.

8. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

Contractor Web Host does not sell personal information for money.

However, our use of analytics and advertising technologies, including the Meta Pixel, may involve disclosures that are legally considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or processing for targeted advertising in certain states.

Where applicable, you may request to opt out by contacting us through the contact form on our website. Please include “Privacy Opt-Out Request” in your message and provide enough information for us to identify and process your request.

You may also limit advertising cookies through your browser settings.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing services, maintaining business and tax records, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, enforcing agreements, and complying with legal obligations.

Retention periods depend on the type of information:

• Account information may be retained while an account is active and for a reasonable period afterward.

• Billing and transaction records may be retained as required for tax, accounting, dispute, and legal purposes.

• Server logs and security records are retained according to operational and security needs.

• Support communications may be retained to document requests, improve service, and resolve disputes.

• Customer-hosted content and backups may remain for a limited period following cancellation or deletion, depending on our backup schedules and legal obligations.

• Marketing information may be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to a limited suppression record used to honor your preference.

When information is no longer required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely isolate it.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. These safeguards may include access controls, authentication measures, encryption where appropriate, monitoring, backups, malware protection, and restrictions on employee or contractor access.

No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, using strong and unique passwords, enabling available security features, securing your applications and website code, and promptly notifying us of suspected unauthorized account activity.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and subject to legal limitations, you may have the right to:

• Confirm whether we process your personal information.

• Access or obtain a copy of your personal information.

• Correct inaccurate personal information.

• Request deletion of personal information.

• Obtain certain information in a portable format.

• Opt out of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing.

• Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, where applicable.

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

• Appeal our decision concerning a privacy request.

• Receive equal service and not be unlawfully discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.

To exercise an applicable privacy right, contact us through the contact form available on our website. Please include “Privacy Request” in your message, identify the right you wish to exercise, and provide enough information for us to locate the relevant records.

We may need to verify your identity before completing your request. Information submitted for verification will be used only to review and process the request.

You may use an authorized agent where permitted by law. We may request proof of the agent’s authority and may ask you to verify your identity directly.

If we deny your request and applicable law provides a right to appeal, you may submit an appeal through our website contact form. Please use “Privacy Request Appeal” as the subject or first line of your message.

These rights are not absolute. We may retain or withhold information where permitted or required by law, including for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, recordkeeping, or the establishment and defense of legal claims.

12. State-Specific Disclosures

Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws, including California and Texas when those laws apply to Contractor Web Host, may have additional rights concerning access, correction, deletion, portability, and opting out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising.

The categories of personal information we may collect are described in Section 3. Our purposes for collecting and using that information are described in Section 4. The categories of recipients to which we may disclose information are described in Section 7.

California residents may also request information about the categories of personal information collected, the sources of that information, our business or commercial purposes, and the categories of third parties to which information was disclosed.

Nothing in this section grants a right that does not apply under the relevant law. Certain small-business, business-to-business, employment, or other statutory exemptions may apply.

13. Children’s Privacy

Our website and hosting services are intended for businesses and adults and are not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If we learn that we collected such information without legally valid parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

A parent or guardian who believes a child submitted personal information to us may contact us through the contact form on our website.

Customers may not knowingly use our services to collect children’s personal information in violation of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act or other applicable laws.

14. Third-Party Websites and Embedded Content

Our website and customer-hosted websites may contain links to or embedded content from third-party websites, videos, social networks, applications, or services.

Third parties may collect information, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with their content. We do not control and are not responsible for their privacy or security practices. You should review the privacy policies of those third parties.

15. Comments and Public Content

If comments, reviews, forums, or similar features are available, information you submit may become publicly visible.

We may collect the information entered in the form, along with your IP address, browser information, and other data used for spam prevention, moderation, and security.

Do not post confidential, sensitive, or private information in public areas of the website.

16. International Data Processing

We and our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Those countries may have privacy laws different from the laws where you live.

Where legally required, we will use an appropriate legal mechanism for international transfers.

Contractor Web Host does not claim participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework unless expressly stated in an updated version of this Privacy Policy.

17. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not currently a universally accepted standard for responding to all such signals, our website may not respond to traditional Do Not Track settings.

Where required by applicable law, we will process recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as requests to opt out for the browser or device sending the signal.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services, technology, vendors, or legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice through the website, customer dashboard, or email where legally required.

Your continued use of the services after an updated policy takes effect indicates acknowledgment of the revised policy to the extent permitted by law.
