cPanel reviews its Privacy Policy twice each year. During this review, we also reviewed the cPanel & WHM End User License Agreement (EULA). This blog post summarizes these changes, but you should review both documents completely since they govern our relationship with you, and changes we don’t believe are material may be material to you.
Privacy Policy
- Material changes
- Paragraphs 1.4 and 7.5: Our Privacy Policy was revised to reflect the US / EU Privacy Framework.
- Footnote 1: the definition of “Corporate Sites” was changed to include additional sites that provide information about cPanel products. Corporate Sites are covered by the Privacy Policy.
- Former paragraph 3.3 was deleted. This paragraph discussed the “sale” of personal data. The paragraph was added when the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was enacted. At that time the term “sale” was not defined. However, since the CCPA was enacted, the word has become more defined. Under this definition, and most traditional definitions, cPanel does not sell personal data.
- Paragraphs 22.3 and 22.5: these paragraphs were revised to reflect that we will transition away from Google Analytics in the future.
- Schedules 1, 2 and 3 were updated to reflect changes in the products and software that are incorporated into cPanel & WHM.
- Mixpanel was added as analytics software.
- AccessiBe, BugHerd, CookieBot, HubSpot, and various Microsoft products, were added to our cookie disclosure.
- Foleon, CAKEPHP were deleted.
- Nonmaterial typographic, formatting and syntax changes were made.
