Mercurial
knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and
we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly.
This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting any of the sites offered by mymercurial.com.,

Privacy Notice please contact us at hosting@mercurial.com
- What Personal Information About Customers Does Mercurial Gather?
- Information You Give Us:
We
receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us
in any other way. We use the information that you provide for such
purposes as responding to your requests, providing our services (e.g.,
domain name registration, DNS hosting), and communicating with you.
- Automatic Information:
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact
with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we
obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses our
sites. Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the
Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the
Internet; computer and connection information such as browser type and
version, operating system, and platform; the full Uniform Resource
Locators (URL) click stream to, through, and from our Web site,
including date and time. We use IP addresses to analyze trends,
administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use.
- What About Cookies?
- Cookies
are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard
drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your
browser. Besides using the information as described above, Mercurial
utilizes cookies to control the flow of the ordering processes by
maintaining the state of your online transactions.
Some of our
business partners may use cookies on our site (for example,
advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these
cookies.
- Does Mercurial Share the Information It Receives?
Yes,
we do share information but only as described below. Otherwise we will
not provide your personal information without your consent.
- WHOIS:
We are required by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers ("ICANN"), the organization that assumes responsibility for
domain name allocation, to collect information about you during the
domain name registration process. This information includes your full
name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and, where
provided, your facsimile number. ICANN then requires all registrars to
make your full name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and,
where provided, your facsimile number, as well as the creation and
expiration dates of your domain name registration and the name server
information associated with your domain name, to the public via an
interactive Web page and a "port 43" WHOIS service. For the purposes of
this Privacy Notice we will refer to this information as your "WHOIS
Information." Please note that we may not be able to control how
members of the public may use the WHOIS Information.
- Partners:
We partner with other parties to provide specific services. When the
user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact
information that is necessary for the third party to provide these
services.
- Agents: We engage other
companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples
include processing credit card payments, providing marketing
assistance, providing customer services, sending postal mail and email
to you, removing repetitive information from customer lists, and
analyzing data. These persons have access to personal information
needed to perform their functions. These companies do not retain,
share, store or use personally identifiable information that you
provide to Mercurial for any secondary purposes.
- Service Providers:
We engage other companies and individuals to perform enhanced services
on our behalf. Many of our service providers have
access to personal information needed to perform their services. These
parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information
except for the purpose of providing these services.
- Business Transfer:
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses
or their assets. In such transactions, customer information generally
is one of the transferred business assets. Also, if mymercurial.com. or all
or substantially all of its assets were ever to be acquired, customer
information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
- Compliance:
We release account and other personal information when we believe
release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our
Services Agreement and other agreements; or protect the rights,
property, or safety of Mercurial, our users, or others. This includes
exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud
protection and credit risk reduction.
- How Secure Is Information About Me?
- We
work to protect the security of your information during transmission by
using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information
you input and the information we may send to our agents.
- Mercurial retains information only as long as may be reasonably
required. Stored information is retained in secure facilities accessible only
by authorized employees or designated agents. Electronic files are stored encrypted behind
firewalls and other security protocols. We also have appropriate
security measures in place in our physical premises to protect
the privacy of your personal information.
- It is important
for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to
your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared
computer.
- What Information Can I Access?
- Mercurial
gives you access to certain information about you for the limited
purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information. To
view or change this information, log-in to your account. When you
update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our
records.
