Your data, and what we actually do with it

We collect less than you'd think, and we'll tell you exactly what and why — including your rights under Saudi Arabia's data protection law.

Last updated: February 1, 2026

This covers what happens to your information when you use WebHostingKSA — as a customer, or just someone browsing the site. We've kept it in plain language on purpose.

01What We Collect

The basics needed to run your account and provide support:

  • Name, email, phone number, and billing address at signup.
  • Payment details, processed through our payment provider — we don't store full card numbers ourselves.
  • Support ticket and chat history, so the next engineer who helps you has context.
  • Basic technical logs (IP address, browser type) for security and troubleshooting.

02Why We Collect It

Every piece of data above exists to do one of three things: keep your service running, bill you correctly, or help you when something goes wrong. We don't collect data "just in case it's useful later."

03How We Protect It

Account data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is limited to staff who need it for their role, and every access is logged. Our data center follows the physical and network security practices detailed on our About page.

04Cookies

We use a small number of cookies to keep you logged in and remember preferences like your billing currency. We don't run third-party ad-tracking cookies on this site.

05Third-Party Services

We share the minimum necessary data with a small set of providers: our payment processor, domain registries (required by ICANN/SaudiNIC for registration), and email delivery for transactional messages. None of them are permitted to use your data for their own marketing.

06Data Residency

Hosting data (your website files, databases, email) stays on servers physically located in our Riyadh data center. Account and billing records are processed in line with the Kingdom's Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL).

07Your Rights

Under Saudi PDPL, you can request a copy of the data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or request deletion where we're not legally required to retain it (like completed invoices). Email support@webhostingksa.com to make a request — we respond within 30 days.

08Data Retention

We keep account and billing data for as long as your account is active, plus a period required by Saudi tax and commercial law after closure. Support tickets are retained for two years to help with future troubleshooting.

09Changes to This Policy

If we materially change how we handle your data, we'll email the address on file before the change takes effect, not bury it in a silent policy update.
