Access to Personal Information
myhosting.com provides individuals with access to Personal Information held about them and complies with the individual access principal of Schedule 1, Clause 4.9 of PIPEDA.

If an individual believes that their Personal Information on file is not correct, individuals can access the myhosting.com web-based Control Panel that allows individuals to view and update all of their Personal Information at any time.

Pursuant to Schedule 1, Clause 4.9.5 of PIPEDA, an individual may also request that myhosting.com delete an individual’s Personal Information from myhosting.com’s system and records . However, due to technical constraints and the fact that myhosting.com backs up its systems, Personal Information may continue to reside in myhosting.com’s systems after deletion for some time. Individuals, therefore, should not expect that their Personal Information would be completely removed from myhosting.com’s systems in response to an accepted request for deletion.

myhosting.com reserves the right to decline access to Personal Information where disclosure of the information requested is not required, as per Division 1, Clause 9 of PIPEDA.

To guard against fraudulent requests for access, myhosting.com will require sufficient information to allow it to confirm the identity of the person making the request before granting access or making corrections.
