Privacy Policy: what changed
AI summary
AI-written reading aid: changes between these versions. The linked published versions are the authoritative text.
- Adds that no mobile information is shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing, and that only Telnyx and the carrier handle messages, neither for their own use.
- Clarifies text frequency as at most one automatic text per offer plus seller messages, replacing the vaguer "a few texts" without changing the existing automatic cap.
- Adds a link to the full SMS Terms.
- Splits the cookie question into separate analytics and advertising choices on eligible static pages, with query-string exclusions and a required new choice after an old combined acceptance.
- Details browser and recovery storage, adds GoDaddy and public blockchain visibility for Gram, and adds operator-reviewed disposal and hold checks around the existing retention windows.

In short. This site has no accounts and nothing to log in to. It collects personal data when you fill in a form — to make an offer, buy a domain, or refer a buyer — and, with each of those, it records where the request came from. Email we send you about an offer or a purchase records whether it was opened and which links were clicked. Both are for online fraud prevention, both are described below, and both are read by a person. A phone number you choose to leave with an offer is checked once, and is texted about that offer only if you tick the box asking for texts — reply STOP and it is not texted again, and no mobile information is ever shared for marketing. The pages also load analytics and advertising scripts from Google thaton seteligible theirstatic own cookiespages, onlywith afterindependent youchoices agreefor analytics and advertising. Buyer and recovery pages do not load those scripts. Everything else on the page works without knowing who you are.
We text only a number whose owner ticked the "Text me about this offer" box on the offer form; the box is unticked unless you tick it, and giving a phone number is not, by itself, agreeing to texts. Message frequency may vary: expect at most aone fewautomatic textstext per offer, plus any the seller writes to you while you negotiate, each about that offer and nothing else. A text from us never contains a link — it tells you a reply is waiting in your email, or carries the seller's own words, and nothing else. The automatic text is sent at most once per offer, a day after we send the newest reply we emailed you — a counter, or a message from the seller — and only if that reply bounced or shows no sign of having been opened (an email client that fetches images on your behalf counts as a sign), and not at all if the seller has already texted you or you have already texted us. A number the check reports as a landline, a toll-free number, or a line of unknown type is never texted; it is simply shown to the seller as such. Each text you send us, including STOP or START, and each delivery receipt Telnyx returns, is kept with the offer. STOP is honored twice over: Telnyx blocks the number at once, and we record it and send nothing further. Reply HELP for help, or write to the address in Section 1. Message and data rates may apply. The full terms of the text-message program, including how to opt in and what we send, are at SMS Terms [/sms/].
No mobile information is shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Your phone number, and the consent you gave to be texted at it, are never sold, rented, or passed to anyone for their own use. The seller reads the number along with the rest of your offer, which reaches them through Telegram as Section 3 describes — that happens whether or not you ask to be texted, because it is how an offer is read at all. For the messages themselves the only parties that handle it are Telnyx, the subcontractor that verifies the number and carries what we send, and the mobile carrier that delivers it; neither may use it for anything but delivering our messages to you.
GoDaddy — the account details needed to transfer a directly purchased domain to your registrar account.
Public blockchain services — if you choose Gram, deposit addresses and payment transactions are visible on the public network; deleting our private records does not erase that public history.
Offers and the correspondence around them are kept while the domain is still for sale and for 24 months after the last message between us, so that a returning buyer's history is intact and so a disputed negotiation can be reconstructed. Records of a completed sale — the agreement, the parties, the amount — are kept for seven years, becauseunder taxour records-retention policy. The applicable legal obligations and contractany lawspecific requirehold itare assessed separately. A referral lead is kept as part of our commercial records — the row is the ledger for whether, and how much, commission is owed on it, so it is not deleted once its window lapses; a sale that syncs late can still be matched against it. We use a lead's contact details to attribute the referral and to reach out to them about the domain(s) named, never for anything unrelated. The request record, the email engagement record, and, for an offer, the phone lookup result and the text messages described in Section 2 are kept with the offer, purchase, or lead they belong to, under that record's window above, and are deletedincluded within itits disposal review. The access, correction, and erasure rights in Section 6 apply to all of it, whether you are a buyer, a referrer, or the person referred. Analytics dataDisposal is retainedan byoperator-reviewed process, not an automatic timer. Before removing an eligible nonfinancial negotiation we verify that its domains are no longer for sale, the last correspondence date, the absence of financial or commission evidence and any applicable hold. Missing or conflicting evidence keeps the record on hold for review. Linked conversations, financial records and referral ledgers require separate review; we do not delete transaction or duplicate-prevention evidence merely because a request expires. Deletion from active records is distinct from deletion of mailbox, processor, export and backup copies. Those copies have separate disposal and backup expiry processes; restored records must be checked against prior erasure requests. Provider retention and any required longer hold are reviewed when we handle a request. Google retains analytics under theits retentionproduct configuration. Private service-operation accounting uses keyed identifiers, which may still be linkable, to prevent abuse and duplicate operations.
