Prominic.NET, Inc. complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF) and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Prominic.NET, Inc. has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (EU-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union and the United Kingdom in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF. Prominic.NET, Inc. has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-U.S. DPF. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern.

Scope

This policy applies to all personal data Prominic.NET, Inc. ("Prominic") receives in the United States from the European Union and European Economic Area, from the United Kingdom and Gibraltar, and from Switzerland, in any format, including electronic, paper, and verbal. This policy covers both human resources (HR) data and non-HR data.

 

The personal data we collect, and why

Prominic is a managed hosting provider and datacenter operator. Prominic does not collect personal data about individuals except as needed in the ordinary course of business or when an individual provides it voluntarily.

 

Prominic collects contact and billing details from customers and prospective customers in order to provide, support, and invoice its services; technical data such as IP addresses, domain names, and service logs in order to operate, maintain, and secure hosted environments; and employment records relating to its own personnel in order to administer the employment relationship.

 

Prominic also stores, on behalf of its customers, databases and files that may contain personal data. In those cases storage is the only processing Prominic performs on that data, and Prominic acts on its customers' instructions rather than for its own purposes.

 

Disclosure to third parties

Prominic does not sell personal data, and does not disclose personal data to third parties for those third parties' own purposes.

 

Prominic discloses personal data only to service providers acting on Prominic's behalf in order to provide, support, secure, and bill for its services, and to public authorities where disclosure is required by law.

 

Where Prominic transfers personal data to a third party acting as its agent, Prominic first ascertains that the agent is obligated to provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the DPF Principles.

 

In the context of an onward transfer, Prominic.NET, Inc. has responsibility for the processing of personal data it receives under the DPF Principles and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. Prominic.NET, Inc. shall remain liable under the DPF Principles if its agent processes such personal data in a manner inconsistent with the DPF Principles, unless Prominic.NET, Inc. proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

 

Your choices

You may choose (opt out) whether your personal data is disclosed to a third party, or used for a purpose that is materially different from the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. Prominic provides clear, conspicuous, readily available, and affordable mechanisms for exercising that choice.

 

For sensitive personal data, Prominic will obtain your affirmative express consent (opt in) before disclosing that data to a third party or using it for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. Prominic treats as sensitive any information received from a third party where that third party treats and identifies it as sensitive.

 

Your right of access

You may request access to the personal data Prominic holds about you, and may correct, amend, or delete that data where it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of the DPF Principles. Access may be limited where the burden or expense of providing it would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than you would be violated.

 

Data integrity and purpose limitation

Prominic limits personal data to what is relevant for the purposes of processing, and does not process personal data in a way that is incompatible with the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. To the extent necessary for those purposes, Prominic takes reasonable steps to ensure that personal data is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.

 

Security

Prominic takes reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the data.

The services of these authorities are provided at no cost to you.

Prominic.NET, Inc. may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Effective Date: August 28, 2026
