1. Introduction

FangHosting (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our game server hosting services and website. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of our services.

This Privacy Policy applies to all customers and users of FangHosting services and is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States, including the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA) where applicable.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

We collect information you provide when you create an account, purchase services, or contact us, including:

  • Full name
  • Email address
  • Payment information (processed securely through third-party payment processors; we do not store full card numbers)
  • Discord username or other contact handles (if provided for support)
  • Communications you send to our support team

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you use our services, we may automatically collect:

  • IP address and general geographic location
  • Browser type and operating system
  • Pages visited and features used on our website
  • Date and time of access
  • Server usage statistics and logs
  • Network traffic data for DDoS protection and security purposes

2.3 Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third-party services such as payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal), fraud prevention services, and network infrastructure providers.

2.4 Live Chat Support

We offer live chat support on our website through Tawk.to, a third-party messaging service. When you open or use the chat widget, Tawk.to may collect the content of your chat messages, any name or email address you choose to provide, your IP address, approximate geographic location, browser and device information, and the pages you view during the session. This information is used only to provide and improve support and is processed by Tawk.to on our behalf. The chat widget loads on our website whether or not you start a conversation. For details on how Tawk.to handles this data, see the Tawk.to Privacy Policy.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To provision, manage, and maintain your hosting services
  • To process payments and manage billing
  • To communicate with you about your account, services, and support requests
  • To send service-related notices and updates
  • To enforce our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy
  • To detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, and security threats
  • To improve our services and customer experience
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations
  • To send promotional communications (with your consent and with the ability to opt out)

4. How We Share Your Information

FangHosting does not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

4.1 Service Providers

We share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business, including:

  • Payment processors (to handle billing transactions)
  • Network, CDN, and DDoS protection providers (Cloudflare)
  • Website analytics (Cloudflare Web Analytics)
  • Email and communication services
  • Live chat support (Tawk.to, which powers the chat widget on our website)

These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and may only use it as directed by us.

4.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, subpoena, or other governmental authority, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of FangHosting, our customers, or the public.

4.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you via email or a notice on our website prior to such a transfer.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account and personal information (such as your name, email, and billing records) for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. We may retain certain information for longer periods as required by law, for billing purposes, or to resolve disputes. Upon account termination, we may retain anonymized data for internal analytics.

Your server data and files (game saves, configurations, and other content on your hosting service) are handled separately from your account information: they may be permanently deleted within 7 days of service termination, cancellation, or suspension for non-payment. This deletion applies to your server contents, not to your account or billing records described above.

6. Data Security

FangHosting implements reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted connections (SSL/TLS), access controls, and network-level security protections.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights (Virginia CDPA)

As a Virginia resident, you may have the following rights under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA):

  • Right to Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Right to Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal data
  • Right to Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain exceptions
  • Right to Opt Out: Opt out of the sale of personal data or targeted advertising (we do not sell personal data)
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the information provided in Section 12. We will respond to verified requests within 45 days as required by the CDPA.

8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to maintain session information and remember your preferences. You can control cookie settings through your browser. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features of our website.

To understand how visitors use our website, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service provided by Cloudflare, Inc. It collects aggregated, anonymized information such as pages viewed, referring websites, and general device or browser type. Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies or other client-side storage, does not fingerprint you or track you across other websites, and is not used for advertising.

Our live chat provider, Tawk.to, also sets cookies to maintain your chat session and recognize returning visitors so that conversations can continue across visits. These cookies are necessary for the chat feature to work; if you disable them, live chat may not function correctly.

We do not use cookies for targeted advertising purposes.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will promptly delete such information. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website or services may contain links to third-party websites or services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party services, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on our website and, where appropriate, by email. The “Last updated” date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last revised. Your continued use of our services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
