Some of the methods Tangserver uses to collect data are automated and will take effect automatically as you navigate the Website and/or use the Software.

Personal Information.
Personal information means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person (“Personal Information”).

Server Information.
If you use one of Tangserver’ services such as Tangserver ‘ Web Hosting, Dedicated Server, VPS, Domain Name or SSL, Tangserver may collect certain information concerning such services and concerning the server upon which the services operates. This information includes without limitation: (a) the licensed or unlicensed status of the software used under the services; (b) the source from which the license for the software was obtained (i.e., Tangserver or an Tangserver affiliate); or (c) information about the server upon which the software is installed including (i) the public IP address, (ii) the operating system and (iii) the use of any virtualization technologies on such server ((a) through (c) collectively, “Server Information”)). Additionally, “Server Information” may also include information collected by Tangserver from time to time concerning which features of the software are most often used in order to improve and make adjustments to the software; and information collected from you by Tangserver in the event that you request technical support services including without limitation, IP addresses, usernames and passwords necessary to login to SSH, the directory of the server upon which you installed the software and any affected accounts including email accounts, MySQL accounts and other accounts.
Non-Personal Information.
Tangserver also collects data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. Tangserver may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose.

By Default, Tangserver does not knowingly collect Personal Information about children under the age of 13. If Tangserver becomes aware that it has inadvertently collected Personal Information about children under the age of 13, it will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible, except where Tangserver is required by applicable law to keep it. Where Tangserver knows a child is above the age of 13, but considered a minor under applicable law, Tangserver will obtain parental/guardian consent prior to using that child’s Personal Information.

As a general matter, Tangserver may use the Personal Information you disclose to Tangserver to improve and provide the Website, the Services and Tangserver’ other products and services, and for the specific purpose that you gave Tangserver your Personal Information. More specific details on how Tangserver uses your information follows below. Tangserver may use Personal Information to create and authenticate your account, to process transactions you request such as domain name registration in order to perform any contract you have entered into with Tangserver, to provide you with customer and technical support and to communicate with you about your account and Tangserver’ products and services.
The Personal Information you provide to Tangserver allows Tangserver to provide you with the newsletters and mailing lists that you have signed up for with Tangserver. If you do not want to be on Tangserver’ mailing list, you can opt out at any time by changing your settings in your ‘My Details’ page within the client area.
Tangserver may also use Personal Information to offer, market or advertise to you Tangserver products and services. While such Tangserver products and services may reference, incorporate or include third-party products and services, Tangserver will not use your Personal Information to independently offer, market or advertise third-party products and services unless Tangserver first obtains your consent to do so.
From time to time, Tangserver may use your Personal Information to send important notices, such as important product updates and communications about purchases as well as changes to Tangserver’ terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important for your interaction with Tangserver you may not opt out of receiving these communications. Tangserver may also use your Personal Information for any other legal purpose stated in this Privacy Policy, and any other purpose for which you have given Tangserver express consent.
Where you consent to Tangserver doing so, Tangserver may use your Personal Information to send you direct marketing communications. Should you ever choose to ‘opt out’ of receiving such communications, Tangserver may retain your Personal Information on file to ensure that Tangserver does not continue to target you with communications of the type that you have asked Tangserver to cease sending to you.
Tangserver limits the use of Personal Information to the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy and for which you have provided explicit consent. In accordance with established policies and procedures, Tangserver retains Personal Information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the stated purposes, unless it is required by law for a different period or Tangserver has the consent of the individual.
In accordance with established policies and procedures, Tangserver will periodically destroy or erase any Personal Information that is no longer needed.
Tangserver may use User Communications in the same way as Tangserver uses Personal Information. If you communicate with Tangserver for a particular purpose, Tangserver may use your User Communications for that purpose. For example, if you contact Tangserver for technical support, Tangserver may use your communications to provide technical support to you. Tangserver may use Server Information to provide you with technical support services and to maintain, evaluate, improve and provide Tangserver products and services. Tangserver may also use such information to investigate unlicensed (and therefore unauthorised) uses of Tangserver’ software.

Tangserver will protect the confidentiality of your personal information, account information and personal communications to the fullest extent possible and consistent with the law and the legitimate interests of Tangserver, its partners, its employees and other customers of Tangserver services. To protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of information that is collected from customers, Tangserver has appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in place.

You may modify your personal information by logging a Help Desk ticket to make the request or update from the Tangserver Client Billing System. If you have registered a domain name with Tangserver and wish to change the Technical Contact from Tangserver to another company or change any other registration information, you should be able to do so by logging into the respective Domain Registrar Control Panel. Tangserver provides you with full access to your domain account by sending you your own username and password. It is important to note that your domain name registration information is made publicly available in the registry of domain names. In the event you lose your domain password, you can log a Help Desk ticket and we will re-send the password to the email address on the domain registration record. In the event you lose your password and the email address on record with Domain Registrar is no longer valid, a direct request to Domain Registrar is required, therefore it is important to keep your Domain Registrar email address current as well as your email address with Tangserver.

From time to time, Tangserver may send you information about various products and services that may be of interest. We will not send you information of this type without specifically allowing you to “opt out” of such mailings. You can opt out by sending an e-mail to [email protected], however by doing so, you may miss important communication regarding your service. In addition, if you are an Tangserver reseller, Tangserver and/or its partners and advertisers may from time to time send you newsletters, promotional material, and other mailings. You can opt out by sending an e-mail to [email protected].

Tangserver may offer interactive forums, such as message boards and chat. You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose Personal Information to other users or to third parties on the Tangserver system, through e-mail, or outside of the Tangserver system, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other members or third parties. While Tangserver strives to protect your Personal Information, Tangserver cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to Tangserver, and you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any passwords or other account information.
