Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At HOT Guide Belize, we have a few fundamental principles:
We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
In our social networking and mobile application products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
HOT Guide Belize operates several websites including HOT Guide Belize (collectively, the “Websites”), as well as a number of mobile applications on behalf of our customers (collectively, the “Applications”). It is HOT Guide Belize’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our Websites and Applications.

Website Visitors and Application Users
HOT Guide Belize collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. HOT Guide Belize’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how HOT Guide Belize’s visitors use its Websites and Applications. From time to time, HOT Guide Belize may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its Websites or Applications.
HOT Guide Belize also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Such information can include location data and information of end users. HOT Guide Belize does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to HOT Guide Belize Websites and users of HOT Guide Belize Applications choose to interact with HOT Guide Belize, in ways that require HOT Guide Belize, to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that HOT Guide Belize, gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a social network at HOT Guide Belize to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with HOT Guide Belize are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, HOT Guide Belize collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor interaction with HOT Guide Belize. HOT Guide Belize does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Website-related and Application-related activities.
