Cybersecurity & Data Protection

Effective Date: 21 December 2025

This Cybersecurity & Data Protection section forms part of the HOSTX Privacy Policy and applies to all users worldwide.

Cybersecurity Commitment

HOSTX recognizes the critical importance of cybersecurity and data protection. We are committed to implementing reasonable, industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to protect user data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Our cybersecurity measures may include, but are not limited to:

• Network firewalls and intrusion prevention systems
• Data encryption (where applicable)
• Access control mechanisms
• Monitoring and logging of system activity
• Incident detection and response procedures

HOSTX accepts responsibility for maintaining and managing its cybersecurity infrastructure within reasonable commercial and technical limits.

Limitations of Cybersecurity Protections

Despite our best efforts, no system, network, or platform can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. You acknowledge and agree that HOSTX shall not be held liable for security incidents or data breaches caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to:

• State-sponsored cyber attacks or cyber warfare
• Zero-day vulnerabilities or unknown exploits
• Global internet failures or backbone disruptions
• Force majeure events (war, natural disasters, government actions)
• Failures of third-party infrastructure, data centers, or software providers

HOSTX shall not be considered negligent where reasonable security practices were in place at the time of the incident.

User Responsibility & Shared Security

While HOSTX maintains platform-level cybersecurity, users are responsible for:

• Securing their login credentials
• Using strong passwords and access controls
• Protecting their devices and local systems
• Keeping their applications and scripts updated
• Maintaining independent backups of their data

HOSTX is not responsible for data loss or compromise resulting from user-side security failures.

Data Storage & International Transfers

User data may be stored, processed, or transmitted across multiple countries and jurisdictions. By using HOSTX, you explicitly consent to international data transfers, including to regions with different data protection laws than your country of residence.

Incident Response & Notification

In the event of a confirmed security incident affecting HOSTX systems, we will take reasonable steps to investigate, contain, and mitigate the impact. Where required by applicable law, HOSTX may notify affected users or authorities within legally mandated timeframes.

No Absolute Warranty

HOSTX does not guarantee absolute security or uninterrupted protection. Cybersecurity services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
