# Privacy Policy

We’re a small team and we treat your data the way we’d want ours treated: collect little, guard it well, never sell it. Here’s exactly what we gather and why.

## Who we are

Host My Blog (“we”, “us”, “our”) provides managed WordPress hosting and care for businesses, bloggers and agencies. Host My Blog is operated by **Etica Studio**, and Etica Studio is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. Registered address: **1310 Shilp Zaveri, Shyamal Cross Road, Vejalpur, beside Iconic Shyamal Building, Satellite, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 380015, India**. When this policy talks about “you”, it means anyone who visits our site, contacts us, or uses our services.

You can reach us any time at [support@hostmy.blog](mailto:support@hostmy.blog) for anything related to your privacy or data.

## What we collect

We collect only what we need to provide and improve our service:

- **Contact details** you give us, your name, email, blog URL and any message you send through our forms.- **Account & billing information** needed to set up and bill your plan. Card payments are processed by our payment provider; we never see or store full card numbers.- **Technical data** about your blog necessary to host and care for it, for example server logs, performance metrics and security events.- **Site analytics** from Google Analytics, covering which pages you visit and how you arrived, so we can understand what’s useful and fix what isn’t.

## How we use it

We use your information to:

- Set up, host, secure and maintain your blog.- Reply to your messages and provide support.- Send your monthly Care Report and essential service notices.- Send our newsletter, only if you opted in, and you can leave any time.- Improve our service and keep it secure.

We never use your data for anything you wouldn’t reasonably expect, and we don’t make automated decisions that affect you.

## Sharing & third parties

**We do not sell your personal data. Ever.** We share it only with the trusted providers required to run the service, such as our hosting infrastructure, payment processor and email tools, and only to the extent they need it to do their job. Each is bound to protect your data. We may also disclose information if the law genuinely requires it.

## Cookies & analytics

Our marketing site loads Google Tag Manager, and through it Google Analytics, on every page. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser (`_ga` and `_gid`) and records your visit: which pages you look at, roughly where you are based on your IP address, what device and browser you use, and which site or search sent you here. Google processes that data as our analytics provider, under its own terms. We do not run a cookie banner, so those cookies are set as soon as the page loads rather than after you agree to them. If you would rather not be measured, block cookies for this site in your browser or turn on its tracking protection. The site will still work.

## How we protect it

Security is literally our product, so we apply the same care to your data that we apply to your blog: encryption in transit, hardened infrastructure, least-privilege access and daily backups. No system is perfectly immune, but if a breach ever affected your data, we’d tell you promptly and honestly.

## How long we keep it

We keep your information for as long as you’re a customer and for a reasonable period afterwards to meet legal, accounting and operational needs. When it’s no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

## Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, and to stop sending you marketing email. Just email [support@hostmy.blog](mailto:support@hostmy.blog), we’ll action it, no hoops. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or your local data-protection regulation.

## Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we’ll change the date at the top and, for anything significant, let you know by email. Continuing to use our service after a change means you accept the updated policy.
