We will not sell, rent or loan any personal data regarding our customers to another company or entity for marketing purposes.

• How you can instruct us if you prefer to limit the use of that data and procedures that we
have in place to safeguard your privacy.

We apply the data protection principles found in the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

What information do we collect?

In order for us to process your order or provide you with one of our Services, we may require some standard information from you such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card and debit card information, identification documents and telephone number. Much of this information is collected directly from you at the time of:

• creating your account within the IDP
• when you request support or assistance (e.g. telephone number, email address)
• when you request newsletters
• when you apply for a job

We do not require you to provide sensitive personal data, such as race, ethnic origin, political opinions or religious beliefs or information that concerns health or sex life.

Computer Tracking of Identifiable Data

Our Web site tracks data about the visits to our Website. This enables us to compile statistics that show the daily number of visitors to the Website, the daily requests we receive for particular files on our Web site, and what countries those requests come from. These aggregated statistics may be used internally to better provide services to our customers but will not be disclosed to third parties save as provided in this Privacy Policy.

How we use the information we collect

We strongly believe in minimizing the data we collect, requiring the least amount of information from you to deliver the service.

The information we collect is then used by us to communicate with you on any matter relating to the conduct of your account and the provision of any Services you have consented to. In our capacity as a Registrar, we also process your data in relation to the registration and management of your domain names and other internet related services.

We may also use aggregate data and statistics for the purposes of monitoring website usage in order to help us develop our Website and our Services and may provide such aggregate data to third parties. These statistics will not include data that can be used to identify any individual.

It is our policy that your data is private and confidential

The personal data you provide to us is treated by us as private and confidential and is stored by us in a secure location, is accessible only by designated staff, and is used only for the purposes for which you provide the data. When you submit an order, your data is encrypted with secure server software to protect the data from unauthorized access. We will not sell any personal data you provide to us to another entity.

We may disclose personal data in the following circumstances:

Compliance with legal, regulatory and law enforcement requests.

To the extent that it is available through the provision of our Services (notwithstanding that phone numbers, fax numbers, email addresses and postal addresses are not disclosed) to comply with a court order;

• if we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to identify persons violating the law;
• If such disclosure is required under or authorized by law (to police, trading standards units, HM Customs and Revenue, the Office of Fair Trading and other law enforcement bodies that require the data for their investigations;) and other third parties with valid reasons under the Act.

We will also share your information to the extent necessary to comply with any UDRP or ccTLD dispute policy and regulation when you register a domain with us.

Sale of Business.

If the business of the provision of our Web site or the Services is sold by us or integrated with another business your details may be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchasers and their advisers and will be passed on to the new owners of the business solely for the purpose of that sale or integration and such prospective purchasers and their advisers or new owners will be similarly bound by this Privacy Policy.

Sharing with trusted third parties.

As a global domain registrar we are accredited with numerous domain registries and bodies like ICANN. We may be required to share your personal data with ICANN, registry providers and other trusted third party payment processors (including, but not limited to, vendors who provide fraud detection services to us) to perform the Services.
