Privacy Policy

How HostErova collects, uses and protects information when you read our reviews, use our comparison tools or contact us.

Who we are

HostErova (“we”, “us”, “our”) publishes independent reviews and guides about web hosting and domain names at https://hosterova.com/. We are the controller of the personal information described in this policy. Our full contact details are listed on our contact page.

Information we collect

We collect only what we need to run the site and answer you:

Information you give us: your name, email address and message when you use the contact form or email us.
Technical information: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and referring page, collected through server logs and, if you allow them, analytics cookies.
Affiliate referral data: when you click an outbound link to a hosting provider, that provider may record that you arrived from HostErova. We do not receive your purchase details or payment information.

We do not ask for, and you should not send us, passwords, payment card numbers or hosting account credentials.

How we use information

To reply to your messages and correction requests.
To keep the site secure, prevent spam and diagnose technical problems.
To understand which guides and reviews are useful so we can improve them, using aggregated statistics.
To comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not use it for automated decisions that affect you.

Legal bases

Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on your consent (for optional cookies and contact form messages), our legitimate interests in running and securing a publication, and compliance with legal obligations.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies. Essential cookies keep the site working; optional analytics cookies are set only with your consent. Details are in our Cookie Policy.

Sharing information

We share personal information only with service providers who help us run the site, such as our web host, email provider and security tools, under agreements that require them to protect it. We may also disclose information where the law requires it or to protect the rights and safety of our readers and team.

Third-party websites

Our reviews link to hosting providers and other websites. When you leave HostErova, the other site’s privacy policy applies. We are not responsible for how those companies handle your information, so please read their policies before buying.

How long we keep information

Contact form messages are kept for up to 24 months so we can follow up on corrections, then deleted. Server logs are kept for up to 90 days for security purposes. Aggregated statistics that do not identify you may be kept longer.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS, access to our systems is limited to people who need it, and we keep software up to date. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and will act quickly if a problem occurs.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to processing, to withdraw consent, and to complain to a data-protection authority. To use any of these rights, email contact@hosterova.com. We will reply within 30 days.

Children

HostErova is written for adults planning websites. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our practices or the law change. The effective date at the top shows the latest version. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
