VERIFICATION PROCESS

 

To protect your privacy, only you or an authorized person may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information.

This information may include your name, email address, and date of birth. Rest assured, we will handle this process in accordance with applicable law.

 

If we successfully verify your identity, we’ll respond to your request within the required timeframe. However, if we can’t verify your identity or authority, we’ll attempt to contact you for clarification.

 

Please note that if we can’t verify your identity or confirm that the Personal Information belongs to you, we won’t be able to fulfill your request. The Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request will only be used to verify your requestor’s identity or authority.

 

We can deliver our response to you by mail or electronically, whichever you prefer. If you request data portability, we’ll provide your Personal Information in a usable format, and you should be able to transmit it easily to another entity. If you wish to appeal our decision regarding your request, feel free to contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section below.

TERMS OF WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT AND HOSTING MANAGED SERVICES USE

 

Cloud City PR, LLC. dba Web Development USA is a managed services organization. Our web development fees cover the essential integration work for domain porting, loading, placing, and editing your content. Our software, container, wireframe, and design elements are copyright protected by Web Development USA.

Website Development: We offer up to 2 revisions and content development, logo development, and domains are not included in our services but can be created and developed separately.

Website Ownership – us and you: Customers own any technology, digital assets (like a domain name you’ve purchased and currently lease annually), and content they provide for your their website. Our company owns, leases, or licenses everything else.
 
Hosting: We only offer services exclusively on our own WordPress hosting platform. This includes a one-time integration build fee that includes one year of hosting, followed by annual hosting renewals for ongoing service. Our sites run on WordPress’ enterprise business hosting service, ensuring top-quality service. We optimize our offerings to maintain quality while minimizing fees and ensuring our proprietary technology stack and methodologies.
 
Managed Services (including SECURITY): Managing a website involves various tasks that we handle on a schedule or ad hoc basis. This includes monitoring server stats, optimizing page load times, addressing crawler notices from search engines, and performing daily backups. We prioritize your site’s security with measures such as customizing WordPress security features, adding SSL, threat detect blocks, Google enCaptcha, and SOC-2 compliant plugins to name just a few.
 
Software Updates and Adjustments: We handle software updates and adjustments to keep your site running smoothly. Some updates bring enhancements but can occasionally cause issues, requiring code edits or reverting to previous versions. Custom features may require additional software monitoring and maintenance. We also assist with content changes, including adding or removing images, texts, titles, subtitles, videos, and styling. While we don’t restyle the entire site, we can provide CSS code changes for specific modifications. We also manage plugins and widgets, ensuring they are updated and optimized for your site’s performance and functionality.
 
Web Development USA offers leased websites that we manage 24/7 (hence: managed services) and services to professionals who desire a professional custom website but may not have the resources or expertise to build and maintain it themselves. We understand the importance of a strong online presence in today’s digital business world, and we provide the necessary support so our clients can focus on growing their businesses.
