HSoft Privacy Policy and Terms of Use
1. Privacy Policy.
1.1. Personally Identifiable User Information is Not Disclosed to Third Parties.

1.2. Data Loss Protection. HSoft uses some of the best commercially available products and/or service providers to back up our databases. Unfortunately, sometimes data is lost between backup periods, so not all data can be guaranteed to be backed up.
