The Hosting Mill (“we”, “us”, “our”) publishes independent web hosting reviews, comparisons and guides at thehostingmill.com. We are the controller of the personal information described in this policy.
You can reach us at service@thehostingmill.com, by phone on +880 1313-197426, or through our contact page, which also lists our postal address.
02
We collect information in three ways:
03
We do not use your information for automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.
04
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on: your consent (for non-essential cookies and analytics); our legitimate interests in running, securing and improving the site and replying to messages; and legal obligation for records we must keep. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing.
05
We do not sell or rent personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site — our web host, email provider, form and anti-spam tools, analytics and backup services — under agreements that limit how they may use it. We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our readers, our team or others.
06
07
Our site uses HTTPS throughout. Access to messages and administrative systems is limited to team members who need it and protected with strong authentication. We keep software updated, run a web application firewall and take regular encrypted backups. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and will notify affected people promptly if a breach is likely to put them at risk.
08
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its processing, receive a copy in a portable format, and withdraw consent. To make a request, email us; we may ask you to confirm your identity and will respond within 30 days. You may also complain to a data-protection authority.
09
The Hosting Mill is intended for adults choosing hosting services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
10
Our reviews link to hosting providers and other websites. Their privacy practices are their own; please read their policies before giving them personal information, particularly at checkout.
11
We review this policy at least once a year and when our practices change. The effective date at the top of the page shows the latest version. Significant changes will be highlighted on our home page for 30 days.
