1. Information We Collect

We only collect the data needed to run HostWise responsibly:

  • Voluntary submissions: Newsletter sign-ups, contact forms, survey responses.
  • Usage data: IP address, device type, browser, referring URLs, time on page, and interactions captured by analytics tools.
  • Cookies & identifiers: Stored by us or partners like Google for analytics and personalized ads (where enabled).
  • Payment data: For future digital products, payments are processed via PCI-compliant providers; we do not store card numbers.

2. How We Use Your Data

Data is processed for the following legitimate purposes:

  • Providing, personalizing, and improving site content.
  • Operating newsletters, giveaways, or gated downloads you requested.
  • Running security and anti-fraud monitoring.
  • Complying with legal obligations and enforcing our Terms of Service.

3. Advertising, Analytics, and Third Parties

We work with carefully vetted vendors who have signed data-processing agreements:

  • Google AdSense: Uses cookies and device identifiers to serve relevant ads. Opt out of personalized ads via Google Ad Settings.
  • Analytics: We use Google Analytics 4 for aggregated reporting with IP masking.
  • Affiliate programs: Outbound links may include tracking IDs. We only receive aggregate conversion data, never card details.

Partners may process data in the United States or other jurisdictions with adequate safeguards.

Cookies allow us to remember preferences (e.g., newsletter modal status) and run experiments. Manage cookies through our consent banner, browser settings, or the Google Analytics Opt-out add-on.

See the dedicated Cookie Policy for full detail.
