Data Controller: HostLedger Editorial Desk
Privacy Contact: https://hostledger.pages.dev/en/contact/
Third-Party Ad Pixels: None (Strict CSP default-src self)
Calculator Execution: 100% Client-Side Browser DOM

1. Zero Personal Data Harvesting Inside HostLedger Calculators

Every calculation inside the HostLedger 12/24/36-month TCO calculator runs strictly inside your local browser memory. HostLedger does not require user accounts, email newsletter gates, or personal identity fields to inspect renewal schedules.

2. Ephemeral Session Attribution & Vendor Referral Cookies via HostLedger

HostLedger stores only an anonymous campaign source token (hl_src) inside browser sessionStorage when a ?src= query parameter is present, clearing automatically when your browser tab closes. If you choose to click an outbound /go/ link on HostLedger, the destination hosting vendor sets its own referral attribution cookie governed by that vendor’s published privacy policy.

3. Aggregate Edge Logs & Data Inquiries for HostLedger

Our edge redirect router records non-identifying aggregate counters (provider slug, page locale, timestamp, and coarse country code) solely to verify link uptime and detect automated bot traffic. Privacy inquiries for HostLedger may be directed to HostLedger Editorial Desk via https://hostledger.pages.dev/en/contact/.
