The personal information that Boxhosts.net collects and holds about you, depends on your interaction with Boxhosts.net. Generally, Boxhosts.net will collect and hold your personal information for the purpose of: providing Boxhosts.net’s services to you; providing you with information about other services that Boxhosts.net offers that may be of interest to you; facilitating Boxhosts.net’s internal business operations, including the fulfilment of any legal requirements; and analysing Boxhosts.net’s services and Customer needs with a view To developing new or improved services.
Personal information will generally be collected by Boxhosts.net directly from you through standard application and registration forms or your other interactions with Boxhosts.net.
There may, however, be some instances where personal information about you will be collected indirectly because it is unreasonable or impractical to collect personal information directly from you.

If you access Boxhosts.net’s web site, Boxhosts.net may collect additional personal information about you in the form of your IP address (that is, the single numerical address for your computer on the internet, which consists of four consecutive numbers ranging between 0 and 255) or domain name (that is, the textual address for your location on the internet which corresponds To your IP address, which the internet computers can read).

The web browser stores the message in a text file. The message is then sent back to the web server each time the web browser requests a page from the web server.
The main purpose of cookies is to identify users and to prepare customised web pages for them. When you enter a web site using cookies, you may be asked to fill out a form providing such information as your name and interests. This information is packaged into a cookie and sent to your web browser, which stores it for later use. The next time you go to the same web site, your web browser will send the cookie to the web server. The web server can then use this information to present you with customised web pages. So, for example, instead of seeing just a generic welcome page, you might see a welcome page with your name on it.
Cookies do not identify you personally, but they may link back to a database record about you. If you register on Boxhosts.net’s web site, Boxhosts.net will then link your cookie back to your personal information details.
Boxhosts.net uses cookies to monitor usage of Boxhosts.net’s web site and to create a personal record of when you visit Boxhosts.net’s web site and what pages you view so that Boxhosts.net may serve you more effectively.
