Privacy Policy

Your privacy is among our top priorities as a company. Except as permitted by this Privacy Policy, we will not willfully disclose your personal information to a third party without first receiving your express permission. If you have any questions or concerns regarding our Privacy Policy, you should contact Member Services.

1. The information that we gather and track.

• When you register to receive one of our services, we ask that you give us your first and last name, address (country-if applicable), phone number, and e-mail address, collectively, your "contact information." In addition, we ask that you provide us with certain demographic information (for example, gender, income range, education, and age group.) You may also have the option of providing us with additional demographic information such as your interests. 
• As part of the registration for our free services, we do not ask for any credit card or other financial information. However, we will require that you provide us with your credit card or other financial information if you register for one of our paid services. We do not store credit card information. Any relevant financial information (such as a credit card number or bank account number) you choose to provide to a third party for a paid service or product is used to administer the service or issue the product and to bill you for such products and services. In this situation, the third party's privacy and disclosure policies will apply. 
• From time to time, we may collect non-personally identifiable information through the use of data harvesting and mining techniques.

2. How we use your information

• The contact information provided to us during the registration process is used in reserving and maintaining sub domain name at your request. We also use this information to contact you when necessary and to maintain the correct identity with each sub domain name. Since your domain name may be your permanent online identity it is necessary to keep your information to advise you of information about your domain name. Additionally, the contact information that you provide on the registration form is used to send you information about our products and services and may be used to contact you via direct mail, electronic mail or telephone regarding service information or offers. You may not opt-out of receiving these messages from us. 
• The demographic information that we collect from you is used to tailor your experience with our service by displaying and listing information that could be of interest to you. We will occasionally provide information, in aggregate form, to certain advertisers or direct marketers so they can target groups of members and to display appropriate individualized advertisements. We also work with third parties that serve ads throughout our service.
• We may disclose your contact information to a third party in connection with any dispute related to the domain name provided to you as part of our Free Service (whether relating to alleged infringement of intellectual property or other rights, violations of our use policy or otherwise.) We will not otherwise disclose your information unless acting under a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (2) protect and defend rights or property; (3) enforce our Terms of Service; or (4) act to protect the interests of our members or others, including law enforcement investigation. 
• You may receive direct marketing materials from us or from our advertisers or partners. In connection with these direct marketing programs, we may share your email address with our advertisers and partners. You may not opt-out of receiving direct marketing materials from our advertisers and partners. We do not sell any of your personally identifiable information to any outside source, although we may rent out lists containing this information to third parties.

3. Security of data transmission over the Internet

• While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from other online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our servers. 

4. Additional privacy issues

• Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas - that information may be collected and used by others. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. 

5. Privacy Protection for Children

• We require parental consent to allow children between the ages of 14 and 17 to join our service. We also encourage children to seek the consent of their parents or guardians before providing any information about themselves to anyone on the Internet. Children should never reveal their addresses, phone numbers or other personal information to any strangers on the Internet.

• Occasionally, we may run contests and sweepstakes and other promotions on our web site or through our service, in which we request entrants to provide certain personally identifiable information. In some cases, entrants may be required to answer survey questions. We use the information collected in the entry form to verify the entrant's identity and to communicate with entrants. We will not share any of the entrant's personally identifiable information with any third party, except as provided for in this Privacy Policy. We may make information about entrants available in aggregated form to advertisers, partners and the general public.

• WE MAY REFERENCE, RECOMMEND, CO-BRAND WITH OR PROVIDE LINKS TO WEB SITES SPONSORED BY PARTNERS OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES. WHILE WE STRIVE TO SELECT THIRD PARTY PARTNERS WHO HAVE OR SHARE THE SAME STANDARDS IN REGARDS TO PRIVACY POLICIES COMPARABLE TO OUR OWN, YOU AGREE THAT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH WEB SITES, WE CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THE USE OF ANY INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO ANY SUCH PARTNER OR THIRD PARTY. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO REVIEW THE PRIVACY POLICIES POSTED ON THESE WEB SITES.

• If we decide to change any of our privacy policies, the changes will be posted here in this area so that you will always know the information we gather, how we might use that information and to whom we will disclose it. We reserve the right, at our discretion to change, modify, add or remove portions of this policy at any time. Please make sure to check this page periodically for any changes.

9. Surveys

• Occasionally, we will conduct surveys in order to target advertisements and content and to better understand a member's needs relating to our services. We will not share survey information about individuals with any third party. We may share, in aggregate form, information we collect from these surveys with our advertisers and partners.

• By registering to receive any of our services, you signify your agreement to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this policy, please do not provide us with any information. Your continued use of any of our services in light of changes to this policy will mean that you accept the changes. Please feel free to send us an e-mail with any questions. If at any time you believe that we have not adhered to these principles, please notify us by e-mail via Member Services and we will use all commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and correct the problem.
