Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026

Summary
This Privacy Policy governs the collection, use, and protection of user information within the Service. The Service collects account identifiers, technical data, and interaction history. This data is used to ensure the Service functions properly, to communicate with users, to process payments, and to perform analytics. Information may be shared with third parties only where required by law, where necessary to deliver the Service (for example, payment processing), or with the User’s consent. Data is stored for as long as necessary and protected within reasonable limits. Transmitting information over the internet always carries risk. The administration reserves the right to update this Policy without prior notice; continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. What stays the same: we do not sell your data, we do not use it for marketing or advertising, and we do not track or log the traffic or the content you host on our servers.

1. General Provisions
1.1. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) governs the processing and protection of information provided by the User when using the takehost.biz website, the client area at takehost.biz/manage, and the hosting services operated by TAKEHOST OÜ (together, the “Service”). 1.2. By using the Service, the User confirms their acceptance of the terms of this Policy. If the User does not agree with these terms, they must discontinue use of the Service. 1.3. TAKEHOST OÜ operates its own network infrastructure specifically so that it retains control over user data and does not depend on third parties to run the Service.

2. Data Collection
2.1. The Service may collect the following types of data: - Account identifiers (name, email address, login, client ID, and contact details); - Billing information required to place and pay for orders; - Technical information (IP address, browser details, device, and operating system); - Interaction history with the Service (orders, support tickets, and service correspondence); - Server logs and security monitoring data, used to operate and protect the Service. 2.2. The Service does not require the User to provide passport details, official documents, photographs, or other personal information beyond what is minimally necessary for the Service to function. 2.3. We do NOT track, monitor, or log your website traffic, your browsing activity, or the content you host on our servers. That data remains yours alone.

3. Use of Information
3.1. The Service may use the collected information solely for the following purposes: - Ensuring the functionality of the Service, including provisioning, maintenance, and security; - Processing payments and managing billing; - Communicating with the User (including service notifications and support); - Analysing and improving the Service; - Complying with legal obligations where required by law. 3.2.

4. Sharing Information with Third Parties
4.1.

Payments are handled by regulated payment providers, including Platega (platega.io), Stripe, PayPal, Revolut Pay, Klarna, OxaPay, and Heleket. When you pay, the information needed to complete that transaction is transmitted to the relevant provider, which processes it under its own privacy policy.

Account information is typically retained for the duration of the service agreement plus applicable legal retention periods. 5.2. The administration takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data — including encryption, access control, and secured servers — but cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.
