This Agreement governs Client’s access to and use of the Services and will be effective as of the Effective Date.
1.1 Facilities and Data Transfer. All facilities used to store and process Client Data will adhere to reasonable, industry accepted security standards no less protective than the security standards at facilities where Reclaim Hosting stores and processes its own information of a similar type. Reclaim Hosting has implemented best practices and procedures to ensure the security and confidentiality of Client Data, protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Client Data, and protect against unauthorized access to or use of Client Data and will use no less diligence than that with which they protect their own confidential data.
For Shared Hosting Customers, customers paying via credit card, customers utilizing prepaid registration codes, or customers utilizing top-level domain or domain registrar services: As part of providing these Services and fulfillment of contractual obligations, Reclaim Hosting may transfer, store and process Client Data in the United States or any other country in which Reclaim Hosting or its agents maintain facilities.
