At Webby, we take privacy seriously. Properly seriously. Not “we put a banner up and hope for the best” seriously. We defend your privacy, comply with UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and generally believe that your data is yours, not a product to flog around the internet.
1. What Information We Collect (No, Not Your Search History)
To provide and improve our hosting services, we collect a small amount of information that’s actually useful, including: Personal details such as your name, email address, and billing information when you sign up Technical data like IP address, browser type, device information, and logs needed to keep things running smoothly and fix problems when things go wonky We only collect what we need. If we don’t need it, we don’t want it.
2. How We Use Your Information (Spoiler: Not for Spam)
We use your information to: Set up and manage your account Handle billing and payments Communicate with you about your services Keep our platform secure and reliable We may also use aggregated and anonymised data to improve our services — this data can’t be used to identify you. We do not sell your data. We do not trade it. We do not hand it to marketers. If anyone asks nicely, we still say no.
3. Where Your Data Lives (Location, Location, Location)
Our servers are located in:
???????? United Kingdom
???????? Germany (EU)
???????? United States
We always aim to host your data on the nearest server to you:
UK customers → UK servers
Anywhere in Europe → German (EU) servers
Everywhere else → United States servers
This keeps things fast, sensible, and compliant. If you have a specific preference, just let us know - we’re human, not a ticket system.
4. Data Security (We Lock the Doors)
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data from: Unauthorised access Accidental loss Alteration or misuse That said, no online service is completely immune to risk - the internet is still the internet. If a data breach were ever to occur (touch wood), we would promptly notify affected users and take immediate action in line with GDPR requirements.
5. Cookies & Tracking (The Boring Biscuit Kind)
We use cookies and similar technologies to: Make the site work properly Improve usability Understand what’s broken so we can fix it Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can control or disable them via your browser settings if you like. By using our site, you’re agreeing to cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. Sadly, none of them are chocolate chip.
6. Third-Party Links (Not Our Circus)
Our website may include links to third-party sites or services. Once you leave our site, their privacy practices apply - not ours. We recommend checking their policies before handing over any personal information.
7. Your Rights (And Yes, You Have Plenty)
Under GDPR, you have the right to: Access your personal data Correct or update it Request deletion where appropriate Object to certain uses of your data You can manage most things through your account, or contact us if you need help. We don’t make this difficult on purpose.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time due to legal, operational, or common-sense reasons. If we make any significant changes, we’ll let you know via email or a clear notice on our website. It’s still worth checking in occasionally.
Questions? Concerns? Mild Panic?
If you have any questions about privacy, data protection, or just want reassurance that we’re not doing anything shady: We’ll answer like real people - because we are. Your data stays yours. Your privacy is defended. And we don’t do creepy.
