Third Party Cookies
In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party advertiser may place or recognise a unique “cookie” on your browser.

2. Sharing and use of information

The over-riding principles we apply are these:

Registration Information. Once a Member selects a location, some or all of the information held for that Member, except for the email address and mobile/cell phone number and passwords, will be publicly available at the listing for that location.

Email addresses. We do not directly make your email address available to anyone on any screen of the hosla.com service. Members’ personal notes must not include their email address. If your email system automatically responds to a contact email with a read or delivery receipt, your email address will be revealed.


Advertising. The hosla.com service may include interactive advertising for other businesses. We may use, and provide to third parties, anonymous demographic data provided by Members to target this advertising more appropriately.

Telephone numbers. You may enter a contact telephone number in your personal details. This number is for internal use only, for future or current services such as SMS. Your number will never be disclosed to any third party without your prior consent.

Notification of unread messages. If you have a number of messages waiting for you in your hosla.com mailbox, and you have not logged in to the service for an extended period, we may at our discretion contact you via your registered email address to notify you of the unread messages. Should you still not read and remove these messages then we may remove the messages as part of our data cleansing process.

Companies in the hosla.com group in an aggregated, de-personalised form. We may share data supplied by you (or collected about you) with our subsidiaries and other companies in our group, but only for the purposes described in this policy.

Changes in the business of hosla.com. If all of the assets which hosla.com uses to operate its business (or substantially all of them) are acquired by a third party, we may transfer personal data we then hold to that party.

We, and where relevant our credit card processing agents, will not supply your personal data to a third party for commercial exploitation – thus, you can rest assured that we will not sell the lists of our Members’ email addresses to a third party; and the only circumstances in which we will provide any of your personal data to a third party for non-commercial purposes are those contained in this Privacy Policy.

Place of processing. The personal information on Hosla.com is held on and processed by computers situated in the USA.

3. Security

We have security measures in place to protect our customer database and access to this database is restricted internally. However, it remains each Member’s responsibility:

to protect against unauthorised access to Your Details;
to ensure against use by anyone else of the hosla.com service through the machine that the member uses while they are "logged on" to the hosla.com service;
to log off or exit from the hosla.com service when not using it; and
to keep his/her password secret.

4. Opt-out policy

You may have your registration details removed at any time. To remove yourself, please send notice of removal to dataprotection@hosla.com
