Your privacy is important to us. We want you to feel comfortable
using Star Hosting services. Because we gather certain types
of information about the users of Star Hosting's services,
we feel you should fully understand what information we gather
and how we use that information. Star Hosting employees are
required to familiarize themselves with this privacy policy
as a condition of their employment, and any employee violating
the policy is subject to disciplinary action.
What
Information Does Star Hosting Gather?
When you register for a Star Hosting account, Star Hosting
obtains contact information, such as your name, address, and
phone number, as well as payment information, such as your
credit card number. When you use Star Hosting's service, our
systems record information about your session, such as the
dates and times of use, and the specific Internet address
assigned to you. Star Hosting also tracks requests you make
for information on Star Hosting's products and services, and
responses you provide to Star Hosting surveys. Finally, Star
Hosting keeps records of your payment history and communications
you have with Star Hosting's support team. Except in extraordinary
circumstances (when we receive a court order, to protect the
company's rights or property, or in emergencies where someone's
safety is at risk), Star Hosting does not keep track of what
sites you visit when you are using the service.
What
Does Star Hosting Do With This Information?
Star Hosting uses the information it gathers in order to provide
you with the best online experience possible. As you might
expect, contact information is used to contact you concerning
your account and our company. Payment information is used
to validate your identity and to bill you for the services
and products you order. Information on your online sessions
is used to allocate system resources and to ensure compliance
with Star Hosting's Terms and Conditions of Use. Information
on your communications with Star Hosting's support team is
used to address the issues raised by your communications.
In addition, Star Hosting regularly sends out mailings regarding
the operation of its service and other goods and services
that it believes may be of interest to you. You may request
that Star Hosting not send you mailings relating to other
goods and services at the URLs listed in this section or send
an e-mail to privacy@star.com.pk. Star Hosting reserves the
right, however, to send bulletins and other important information
regarding the service at its discretion.
Does
Star Hosting Share Subscriber Information With Third Parties?
Star Hosting will not share or disclose information regarding
its subscribers except (i) when we receive legal process such
as a court order; (ii) when reasonably necessary to protect
the company's rights or property; or (iii) in emergencies
where someone's safety is at risk.
You should be aware, however, that any information that you
disclose in a public space such as a chat room, bulletin board,
or personal Web site, Network Solutions domain registration
is freely available to anyone else visiting that space. Star
Hosting cannot safeguard any personally identifiable information
you disclose in these locations, nor can it ensure that information
you voluntarily supply to third parties remains private. Please
review the privacy policies of third party sites you frequent
to ensure that your privacy preferences are respected.
How
Can I Correct or Update the Information?
To request a copy of the contact Star Hosting has on your
account, send an e-mail request to privacy@star.com.pk. You
may correct that information as appropriate by returning a
message to the same address. Please keep in mind that under
Star Hosting's Terms and Conditions of Use, subscribers are
required to provide Star Hosting with current contact and
billing information. Star Hosting may require a copy of a
government issued form of identification before disclosing
billing information or before making changes to the billing
or contact information on an account.
What
Happens to the Information if I Leave Star Hosting?
If you ever leave Star Hosting, Star Hosting will normally
delete your personally identifiable account information twelve
months after the account is cancelled, unless we are under
a legal obligation to retain it. We preserve account information
for this short period of time in the event you wish to reactivate
your account and retain your previous e-mail address. However,
in the event of any accounting irregularities, Star Hosting
reserves the right to retain your contact and billing information
as necessary to resolve the matter.

Those changes will become effective 30 days after notice of
