Visitors to the Website
The Website records anonymous statistics about what pages are viewed, what searches are made, and what features are used. We use this information to measure the popularity of individual domain names, and to prevent abuse (e.g. detect bots, spam, fake purchases etc). This information is stored anonymously, which means we don’t record your name, IP address, or anything else which could identify you personally.
We also measure visitors to our website using Google Analytics. Google records what pages you view within our Website, how you arrived at our Website and some basic information about your computer. Again, all of that information is anonymous – so we don’t know who you are; just that somebody visited our Website.
We use Facebook’s advertising network, which means Facebook can measure your use of specific features on the Website. Facebook use this to determine whether an advert results in conversions. They also use this to determine whether a visitor to the Website could be shown relevant adverts later, e.g. for a domain name that they looked at. We do not have access to any personal data gathered during this process.
We use Stripe for processing credit cards. Stripe use cookies to help identify suspicious behaviour before a purchase is made, such as non-human purchases. This information is not visible to us.
We use Google’s reCAPTCHA to detect bots and spam, e.g. fake offers or purchases. reCAPTCHA uses cookies to track your behaviour on this Website and determine if you are probably human. This information is not visible to us.
Making an offer, enquiry or purchase
If you make an offer, enquiry or purchase a domain name, we will ask you for some personal data, which is required to perform that service. For example, your address is required to complete a purchase.
We use Stripe for handling all credit card transactions. We never have any access to your payment information, but we do have access to your name, address and email, which we require to fulfil your order.
We delete all personal data (e.g. name, address, IP address) from all offers, enquiries or purchases within 12 months of them last being used.

WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Our Services are global and your information (including personal data) may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations or where we engage service providers, and we may transfer your information to countries outside of your country of residence, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country of residence.

The personal data that we collect from you may therefore be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA“). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers or partners. Such staff or subcontractors may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details or the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing outside of the EEA.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In particular, this means that your personal data will only be transferred to a country that provides an adequate level of protection (for example, where the European Commission has determined that a country provides an adequate level of protection) or where the recipient is bound by standard contractual clauses according to conditions provided by the European Commission (“Standard Contractual Clauses”).

Our Website and Services are accessible via the internet and may potentially be accessed by anyone around the world. Other users may access the Website or Services from outside the EEA. This means that where you chose to post your data on our Website or within the Services, it could be accessed from anywhere around the world and therefore a transfer of your data outside of the EEA may be deemed to have occurred. You consent to such transfer of your data for and by way of this purpose.
PROTECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any credit card information or payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of the Website or Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share any password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will endeavour to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Website or the Services. Any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
