Privacy Policy
Refugee hosting
Our boundless commitment to free speech has been tested and proven over and over again. If it is legal , we will host it, and will keep it up regardless of any pressure to take it down.
Confidentiality
We defend your integrity to the end. With our discrete customer relations policy we don't even have to know who you are, and if we do we will keep it under strict secrecy. We utilize encryption heavily, and suggest that you do the same.
Free Speech
We are very strong supporters of free speech and free expression and resist any attempts of governments to impose limits on what can be said on the web. Therefore, we allow content that many of the larger hosting companies might not. This is not to say that we allow anything and everything. But we believe strongly that the web belongs to the people of the world, and that it transcends governmental control.
What makes Radical Web Hosting different than most other companies when it comes to free speech and privacy is that when other companies are threated by lawyers - they don't have the expertise or want to deal with the issues of determining if the lawyers who is making the threat has any legal basis to do so. We are not so timid around lawyers and we are familiar with legal issues surrounding fair use, trademark, copyright and slander. So if a lawyer calls us demanding that something be taken down - or that I turn over information about customers - they better have a legitimate court order in hand to do so - or we just tell them to get lost! So if you are exposing corporate and government corruption - or just want to build a site - you have a home with Radical Web Hosting.
For example, France prohibits allowing it's citizens to view web sites with Nazi related materials, or trade merchandise from World War II. As a result, sites like Yahoo/Geocities scan their web pages and take down pages that say the word "Hitler" in them anywhere. Thus this page itself would be banned from Geocities. Our position is that France doesn't have the right to censor the web and French citizens are welcome to read whatever they want here and the Government of France has no say so. We are legal savvy and France doesn't scare me. Neither does the United States. So we permit content that governments find offensive.
Other examples include exposing online scams. Lawyers call me threatening everything in the world and I just tell them to go win a lawsuit and bring me an order with a judges signature on it - or don't bother wasting my time. If the lawyer makes a false representation - I will file a bar complaint in the jurisdiction where they are licensed.
What is not permitted is child pornography, extreme hate speech, and ripping off intellectual property. We do not police the content of your site. But if we are notified that you are posting copyrighted material, or material ripped off from other web sites without the author's permission, we will notify you to take the material down. This also including pirated software and pirated music files.
