EU data protection law through GDPR or the UK GDPR and UK Data Protection Act makes a distinction between organizations that process Personal Information for their own purposes (known as “data controllers”) and organizations that process Personal Information on behalf of other organizations (known as “data processors”). For purposes of this Privacy Policy, Happy Camper is considered the data controller and data processor. If you have a question or complaint about how your Personal Information is handled, these should always be directed to the relevant data controller since they are the ones with primary responsibility for your Personal Information.
Happy Camper has implemented technical and organizational measures with respect to processing Personal Information from European Union individuals for purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features in an effort to prevent loss, theft and unauthorized access, use and disclosure.
LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING YOUR INFORMATION

SHARING WITH THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS AND VENDORS

Additional information about certain third-party service providers we share personal information with is available here. Our contracts with such third parties prohibit them from using any of your personal information for any purpose beyond the purpose for which it was shared.

COMPLAINTS
If you have any questions about this Brazil Privacy Addendum or our data handling practices, or you wish to make a complaint, you may contact our Data Protection Officer at privacy@endurance.com
In addition to the rights outlined above, where the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) applies, you may:
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides consumers who are residents of the State of California with specific rights related to their Personal Information (which includes Personally Identifiable Information), subject to certain exceptions. It also requires us to disclose the information we collect, the purposes for which we collect it, and what we share and disclose.
The Personal Information We Collect and Why
You have the right to know what Personal Information we collect and why. The information we collect and the purposes for which we use it are described in this Privacy Policy.
The Personal Information We Share or Disclose
You have the right to know what Personal Information we disclose or share with third parties. The Personal Information we share is described in this Privacy Policy.
Right to Know
You have the right to ask us what Personal Information we have collected from you over the past 12 months. You may make such requests up to twice a year.
Right to Delete
You have the right to ask us to delete your Personal Information. In certain circumstances the law may not require or permit us to delete certain Personal Information, but if we cannot honor a deletion request, we will tell you.
Right to Opt-Out (“Do Not Sell”)
You have the right to tell us not to disclose or transfer your Personal Information to a third party in exchange for something of value. The CCPA refers to this as your right to say “Do Not Sell” my Personal Information. If you opt out of disclosure or transfer of your Personal Information, you may later opt-in again to having your Personal Information move more freely.
Right to Know and Right to Delete
You may ask us for the Personal Information we have about you, or ask us to delete your Personal Information, by emailing us at support@happycamperwebhosting.com. When you make a request online, we will verify your identity by sending you an email and asking you to respond.
If you ask what Personal Information, we have received from you, and we cannot verify your identity, or if providing the information you have requested creates a security risk, we will give you a general description of the type of Personal Information we have about you.
If you ask us to delete your Personal Information, and we can’t verify your identity and confirm that you made the request, we will not be able to honor it. Generally, though, if we can confirm your identity and your request, we will delete, de-identify, or aggregate your Personal Information so it can no longer be associated with you. There are some reasons that the law may require or permit us to keep your Personal Information, however.
Authorized Agents
If you are an authorized agent, you must make your request by emailing us at support@happycamperwebhosting.com and put the words “CCPA Requests, Authorized Agents” in the subject field. You also need to attach to your email proof that you are registered with the Attorney General, as required by law, and proof you have written authority to act for the consumer. You shall also provide the email address of the consumer you are representing so we can verify their identity or provide documentation that you have power of attorney for the consumer pursuant to Probate Code sections 4000-4465. We will not be able to honor requests without sufficient documentation that you are authorized to represent the consumer.
Requests made on behalf of a “Household”
If you would like to request Personal Information about your household, you may make your request by emailing us at support@happycamperwebhosting.com and putting the words “CCPA Household Request” in the subject field of the email. We will need to verify the users of the household, and in some cases, if a request raises security concerns for any household member, we may not be able to honor the request.
Financial Incentives
We do not offer any financial incentives for consumers to take any action or make any choices in using our services.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights described in this Privacy Policy. Specifically, we will not deny you goods or services or charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits, or by imposing penalties.
California “Shine the Light” Law
Residents of the State of California may request a list of all third parties to which we have disclosed certain information during the preceding year for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
California “Eraser” Law
If you are a California resident under the age of 18, and a user of the Services where this policy is posted, you may request removal of content or information you have publicly posted. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete removal from the Internet of the content or information you posted, and there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal.

We discovered that other web hosting companies provided SOME of the features you need for reliable, fast and safe web hosting but none of them had ALL of those features in one package.
You either have to pay more for those features or they don’t exist at all.
They leave out features like Smart Update which uses Artificial Intelligence to determine if that latest plugin update will break your site!
You have to update plugins/themes/WordPress regularly or you run the risk of getting hacked.
Or they leave out offsite backups. We do nightly backups of everything but you should have your own set of backups saved in a simple easy to access offsite location like DropBox, Google Drive or Microsoft One.
We give you that option.
Or they only have minimal security and you have to get a security plugin. These days you can’t skimp on security that’s why we have Robust Server Level Security.
Server level security is where you don’t need a plugin for security and where you’re not left scouring the internet trying to decide which is the best security plugin? And then how to set it up.
Keeping your site safe, secure and fast shouldn’t be hard.
Imunify360 is a comprehensive security suite including Antivirus, Firewall, WAF, PHP Security Layer, Patch Management, Domain Reputation with easy UI and advanced automation.
Smart Updates helps you keep your production websites up to date without the risk of breaking your website. Smart Updates analyzes the potential consequences of installing updates and advises you whether doing so is safe.
To ensure a WordPress installation is always updated safely without breaking your website, we’ve included Smart Updates with every website, which does the following:
