Privacy Policy: what changed

For the offer, purchase and referral form subsections, the legal basis under the GDPR is the performance of, or steps taken at your request before entering into, a contract — for the sale of a domain name, or, for a referral, the referral commission arrangement described at Refer a buyer [/refer/] (Article 6(1)(b)); a text about your offer is a step in that same negotiation and rests on the same basis. Answering a purchase inquiry also falls under Article 6(1)(b); for other contact messages we rely on our legitimate interest in answering correspondence (Article 6(1)(f)). For the request record, the email engagement record, and the phone lookup result, the basis is our legitimate interest in preventing online fraud and in conducting the negotiation you started (Article 6(1)(f)); you may object to any of them at any time by writing to the address in Section 1, and where your local law requires consent for email tracking, the footer of each email is where we tell you and how to avoid it. The offers we start rest on Article 6(1)(f) too, for the different interest named in that subsection above, and the stop link in every such email is the simplest way to object to them. Where your local law requires consent for text messages, the offer form says next to the phone field that the number may be texted, and STOP withdraws that consent at any time. For advertising, and for Google Analytics andwhen advertisingyou visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, both described in Section 4, the basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a)), which you may withdraw at any time. When you visit from anywhere else, Google Analytics rests on our legitimate interest in knowing how visitors find and use the site (Article 6(1)(f)); Cookie settings or a Global Privacy Control signal is how to object to it. Cloudflare's cookieless page measurement, also described in Section 4, rests on our legitimate interest in knowing how many people visit which pages and how quickly they load (Article 6(1)(f)); a Global Privacy Control signal is how to object to it, and it stops the measurement on every page.

Optional Google Analytics loads on our homepage, catalog and domain pages and on our static informational pages (the policies and the blog). Optional Google AdSense loads only on the static informational pages. EachIf you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, each runs only after you choose its purpose, and the two are chosen separately. From anywhere else, Google Analytics runs without asking, and you turn it off from Cookie settings or with a Global Privacy Control signal; AdSense still waits for your choice. We tell which applies from the country Cloudflare attributes to your connection, and when it cannot tell, we ask. Neither loads on our referral, contact form, contact receipt, checkout, or recovery pages, and on every page a query string or fragment in the address, including a search, prevents loading. Once it loads, Google Analytics also records events on that page automatically: scrolling, clicks on links to other sites, starting and submitting a form, file downloads, and page changes made without a reload, so a catalog search or filter can be reported as a page address and a site search. A form event names the form and where it is sent, never what you typed into it. A domain page can show a purchase form, a signing button and a recovery link after it loads. The signing address opens from a button, not a link, and the recovery link is text for you to copy, so neither is reported. Analytics measures visits; advertising selects and measures ads. Both may use Google cookies. Declining either purpose leaves the rest of the site working.

Use Cookie settings in the footer to reopen the controls. Outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland no banner appears, and Cookie settings is where you turn Google Analytics off. Turning off a loaded purpose requires a reload to remove its scripts; the page warns before reloading if it contains entered form data. Finish or copy unsent entries first. Global Privacy Control overrides both purposes to off. An old combined acceptance requires a new choice; an old refusal remains a refusal.

Wherever you live, you may ask us to show you the personal data we hold about you, correct it, delete it (with one exception: the row that records your telling us to stop emailing you offers, which Section 5 explains), or send it to you in a portable form. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests — including the request record, the email engagement record, the phone lookup result, the offers we start, and Cloudflare's page measurement, which a Global Privacy Control signal stops, and Google Analytics where it runs without asking, which Cookie settings or a Global Privacy Control signal turns off — and you may withdraw consent to analytics and advertising without giving a reason and without affecting anything you have already done on the site.
