Privacy Policy

Effective October 10, 2026.

This policy describes the information used to provide The Host Barn Website Templates accounts, subscriptions, and hosted business websites. Contact: info@thehostbarn.com.

Information we collect

We collect account and contact information you provide, your selected plan, website address, billing address, subscription and transaction references, payment status, and support correspondence. We also store the website content and media you upload. Hosting and application logs may include IP addresses, request details, and security events.

How we use information

We use this information to create and maintain your website, manage subscriptions, send account and billing notices, answer support requests, investigate errors, and protect the service. Information you publish on your website is accessible to its visitors.

Payments and service providers

PayPal processes subscription payments under its own Privacy Statement. We receive transaction and subscription information needed to manage your plan. PayPal does not share your full financial account details with us. Our hosting provider, GoDaddy, and authorized technical service providers may process information needed to operate and maintain the platform.

Cookies

WordPress uses cookies for sign-in, session security, and account preferences. Selecting Remember Me extends your login session. Clearing these cookies may sign you out. Any additional analytics, advertising, or marketing tools must be disclosed before being introduced.

Uploaded media and third-party content

Remove sensitive information and embedded location data from files before uploading them. Third-party embeds, such as maps or videos, may collect information under the provider’s policy when a visitor loads or interacts with them.

Retention and account closure

We retain account, website, and transaction records while needed to provide the service and meet accounting, legal, security, or dispute-resolution requirements. Ending renewal does not automatically erase these records. Contact us to request account closure or data deletion. Backup copies may remain until their retention period ends.

Access, correction, and deletion

You can update available account information after signing in. Email info@thehostbarn.com to request access, correction, an export, or deletion of your information. We may verify your identity before acting. Some records may need to be retained for legal, accounting, security, or dispute-resolution reasons.

Customer website responsibilities

Each customer controls the content published on their own website and is responsible for informing visitors about their own collection and use of information. This platform policy does not replace a customer’s own privacy notice.

Updates

We may update this policy when the service or its data practices change. The published policy will show its effective date.
