When you register for a FeatherHill IT Inc., (FeatherHill) Host account, Dedicated Server account, Email Account or Collocation account, FeatherHill obtains contact information, such as your name, email and postal address, and phone number, as well as payment information, such as your credit card number. For specific services or programs we may need to collect Federal Tax Identification Numbers. When you use FeatherHill, our systems record information about your session, such as the dates and times of use, and the specific Internet address assigned to you. To do this we may use standard web server log files as well as session or persistent based cookies. FeatherHill also tracks requests you make for information on FeatherHill’ products and services, and responses you provide to FeatherHill surveys. Finally, FeatherHill keeps records of your payment history and communications you have with FeatherHill’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), FeatherHill does not keep track of what sites you visit when you are using the service as an identifiable individual.
FeatherHill uses the information it gathers in order to provide you with the best online experience possible.

Individual chat sessions may be transcribed and stored to improve customer service and resolve issues. Federal Tax ID may be used to report revenues from specific programs as required by law. 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. Information on your communications with FeatherHill support team is used to address the issues raised by your communications.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however.
