Home: Privacy Policy
Protecting consumer privacy is very important to us. Our Online Privacy Statement
is available to inform you about our collection and use of personal information
so that you can make informed choices about how your own information is collected
and used. This Online Privacy Statement reflects the Host The Best policies covering personal information collected at this
website on or after the effective date shown above.
We believe that information used responsibly benefits consumers and the economy,
whether it is information we house on behalf of consumers conducting transactions
or information we collect on behalf of our business clients. For example,
we use consumer information every day to ensure fast and accurate processing
of hundreds of thousands of money transfers. In addition, Host The Best strives to better serve our customers by offering
goods and services that we believe fit their needs and interests. When identifying
an opportunity, Host The Best may use consumer
information it has collected in an effort to identify consumers who may be
interested in that opportunity. For more than few years, consumers and businesses
have relied on Host The Best for safe and reliable
service. The relationships we have developed through the years have been established
based on mutual trust. Each day we and employees and agents strive to reinforce
our commitment to our clients and consumers. Central to that commitment is
ensuring that we abide by a set of privacy policies, which are outlined below.
These policies guide us in the collection and use of information as well as
employee responsibilities in protecting your privacy. We use personal information
about consumers only in a manner consistent with these policies.
