MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE US

We will need to contact you directly or through a third-party service provider as necessary to deliver transactional or service-related communications regarding products or Services you have signed up for or purchased from us.

You must cancel your accounts for all Services if you do not wish to receive any transactional or service communications from us. To cancel your account, please follow the instructions found in the terms of service for the applicable Service.

INFORMATION FROM THIRD PARTIES

To manage the information we receive about you from a social networking site or another third party (if applicable), you will need to follow the instructions from that party for updating your information and changing your privacy settings, where available. The information we collect is covered by this Privacy Notice and the information a third party collects is subject to the privacy practices and notice of that third party.

UNAUTHORIZED ACCOUNTS

If an account or profile was created without your knowledge or authorization, please contact customer support at the brand on which the account or profile is located to request the removal of the account or profile.


RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We retain your personal information to provide Services to you and as otherwise necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

  • Ask us to identify what personal information of yours has been shared.
  • In certain circumstances, receive or (if technically feasible) ask us to provide your personal information to a third party, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, although we will not provide you with certain personal information if so would interfere with another’s individual’s rights or where another exemption applies.
  • Withdraw your consent to process your personal information in circumstances where we are relying on your consent as our basis for processing. You can withdraw your consent at any time by info@pkwebhosts.com

THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE BY OUR USERS

For example, if you take advantage of certain of our social media features, such as the Facebook Like button, and widgets, such as the “Share This” button or interactive mini-programs that run on our site, the applicable social networking sites may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our websites, and may set a cookie to enable it to function properly.
