Trust Built on Data Protection.

Who We Are

SnelBit Networks operates as a web hosting, domain registration, and email hosting provider. For most data we collect directly (such as account or billing data), we act as a Data Controller. For content you store on our servers (such as website files, databases, and emails), we act as a Data Processor, while you remain the Data Controller.

You may contact us regarding data protection at: abuse@snelbit.com

Information We Collect

We collect personal data in the following categories:

• Account Information: Name, email address, login credentials, company name, and optional profile information.
• Billing & Payment Data: Billing address, VAT or tax identification (where applicable), transaction details, invoices, and payment confirmations. Payment card details are processed by third-party payment processors and are not stored in full by SnelBit.
• Technical & Usage Data: IP addresses, browser type, device data, timestamps, service logs, security logs, and actions taken in the client portal or hosting environment.
• Support Communications: Messages exchanged via tickets, email, chat, or other support channels.
• Hosted Content: Files, databases, emails, and other content stored on our servers—processed only as required to provide the service.

How We Use Your Information

Your data is used strictly for the following purposes:

• To deliver and maintain our web hosting, WordPress hosting, domain, and email services.
• To process orders, payments, renewals, and account verification.
• To provide technical support, troubleshoot issues, and respond to inquiries.
• To send service-related notifications such as billing reminders, security alerts, and policy updates.
• To maintain security, prevent abuse, investigate incidents, and enforce our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.
• To improve our website and services based on aggregated, anonymized analytics.
• To comply with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations.

Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

Where GDPR applies, we process personal data under the following legal grounds:

• Contractual Necessity: To provide the services you have purchased and take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.
• Legitimate Interests: Improving services, detecting abuse, fraud prevention, security monitoring, and ensuring stable operation of our infrastructure, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Legal Obligations: Compliance with tax, accounting, anti-fraud, domain registry, or ICANN/registry rules, and other applicable laws.
• Consent: Where required (e.g., non-essential cookies, certain marketing communications, analytics and advertising technologies). You may withdraw consent at any time.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to ensure our website and client portal function securely and efficiently. Cookies are also used, with your consent, to understand how our website is used and to measure the performance of our marketing campaigns.

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for authentication, session management, and security. These are always active and do not require consent.
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand traffic and site performance (e.g., which pages are visited, how long they are viewed). For example, we may use Google Analytics, configured with IP anonymization. These cookies are only loaded after you consent via our cookie banner.
• Preference Cookies: Save your settings such as language or login preferences.
• Marketing & Advertising Cookies: Used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and improve ad relevance. These may include technologies provided by Facebook (Meta) Pixel, Google Ads, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and X (Twitter) Ads Pixel, and are only activated if you choose to accept non-essential cookies.

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner appears that allows you to either “Accept All” (enabling analytics and marketing cookies) or “Reject Non-Essential” (only essential cookies remain active). Your preference is stored locally in your browser so we can respect your choice on subsequent visits.

You can change your cookie settings at any time by adjusting your browser settings or clearing site data. For more detailed information about our use of cookies and tracking, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

Third-Party Services & Data Sharing

We may share limited data with trusted partners who help us deliver our services, including:

• Domain registries & registrars (required for domain registration and WHOIS, where applicable).
• Payment processors for handling secure payments.
• Data center and network infrastructure providers.
• Security, monitoring, and analytics service providers.
• Email delivery, DNS, and backup systems.
• Marketing and advertising platforms (e.g. Google Ads, Facebook, LinkedIn, X) where you have provided consent for such use.

Analytics and marketing platforms (such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and X Ads Pixel) may act as independent data controllers for data they collect directly through their scripts. These technologies are only loaded when you have consented via our cookie banner.

All third-party providers engaged by us are required to handle your information in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including GDPR where applicable.

We do not sell or rent your personal data.

Data Retention

We retain your data only for as long as necessary for the purposes listed in this Policy, including:

• Account and billing data: retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to meet legal, accounting, and regulatory obligations.
• Service logs: retained for security, diagnostic, and operational purposes for a limited period.
• Hosted content: removed upon service cancellation or termination, unless longer retention is required by law.

Once retention is no longer required, your data is securely deleted or anonymized.

Data Security

SnelBit implements robust technical and organizational measures to secure your data, including:

• Secure hosting infrastructure, firewalls, and DDoS protection.
• TLS encryption for data in transit.
• Access controls based on the principle of least privilege.
• Continuous monitoring, auditing, and vulnerability mitigation.

While no system can guarantee absolute security, we follow industry-standard practices to protect your information.

International Data Transfers

Our services may involve data transfers outside your country of residence. Where personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, we implement GDPR-compliant safeguards such as:

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.
• Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and contractual protections with third-party providers.
• Technical safeguards ensuring appropriate protection of your data.

• The right to request deletion (“right to be forgotten”) in certain circumstances.

• The right to data portability, where applicable.
• The right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at abuse@snelbit.com. We may verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
