The Host Register

Scope

This policy covers this website. It does not cover the companies and tools written about here: open their own policies before handing them anything.

Who is responsible

This site is published by The Host Register. Privacy questions and requests: [email protected].

What is collected

Where it comes from

Only from you, when you write, and from the technical request your browser makes when it loads a page. Nothing is bought, enriched or matched against other sources.

What it is used for

To answer your message, to correct the register when you show us it is wrong, and to keep the site available and defended against abuse. Not for advertising profiles, and not for sale.

Legal basis

Answering your message is the performance of what you asked for; keeping the site available and secure is a legitimate interest. Where consent is required for anything, it is asked for before, not after.

Cookies and tracking

This site sets no cookies today and runs no analytics or advertising scripts. If that changes, this policy and the cookie policy change with it, before the change is made and not after.

Who else sees it

Commercial links

Some outbound links are commercial. Following one takes you to another company, which is then responsible for what it collects. The commercial arrangement is described in the disclaimer.

Where data goes

The site is delivered from a global network, so a request is served from a location near you rather than from one country. Email reaches a mailbox that may be held outside your country.

How long it is kept

Email is kept while it is useful to the correction it concerns, and deleted on request. Delivery logs are kept by the hosting network for its own retention period, which is short and not under our control.

Your rights

Under the GDPR in the EU and the UK, and under the CCPA in California, you can ask what is held about you, ask for it to be corrected, and ask for it to be deleted. There is no charge and no form to fill in.

How to ask

  1. Write to the address on this page and say what you want: access, correction or deletion.

  2. Say which address you wrote from, so the request can be matched to what is held.

  3. Expect an answer from a person within a month, and usually much sooner.

Automated decisions

None. Nothing on this site profiles a visitor or makes a decision about anyone automatically.

Security

The site is static, served over HTTPS, and has no database and no login for an attacker to reach. That is a design choice, not a claim of perfect security.

Children

This site is written for property owners and is not directed at children. Nothing here is knowingly collected from them.

If something goes wrong

If a breach affects data held about you, you will be told what happened, what was affected and what to do, without waiting to be asked.

Changes

When this policy changes, the date below changes with it. A change that affects what is collected is made after the policy says so, not before.

Complaints

If you are in the EU or the UK and are not satisfied with the answer, you may complain to your national data protection authority. Telling us first usually settles it faster.

Version

In force as of August 2026. First published version.
