Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make an inquiry from this website (the “Site”).

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device.

Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

“Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

Additionally when you make an inquiry to purchase a domain name through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, email address, phone number, your offer and a message about the domain name. We refer to this information as “Inquiry Information.”

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Inquiry Information.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We use the Inquiry Information that we collect generally to fulfill any inquiry placed through the Site.

Additionally, we use this Inquiry Information to:

1. Communicate with you;

2. Screen our inquiry for potential risk or fraud; and

3. When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information relating to our domain name.

4. When in agreement about the purchase of a domain name, provide your information to a third party payment or escrow company to complete the transaction.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above.
