We act as an agent of Wild West Domains, LLC (“WWD”) and offer  certain products and services (“Services”) of WWD through this site.   Unless otherwise stated in this Privacy Notice, “we” refers jointly to  WWD and us.  This Global Privacy Notice describes the privacy rights and  practices that apply to the WWD Services offered by us through this  Site.  This Privacy Notice does not apply to any other Services we  offer, which are governed by separate Privacy Notices applicable to our  other Services.

As described below,   

• customers can manage their privacy preferences in their Account Settings page, and

Data Covered by this Privacy Notice 

This privacy notice covers personally identifiable  information (PII) collected by WWD in connection with the Services when  we and WWD act as data controllers.

• PII identifies or could be used to identify a specific person, and  any data about that person. For example, your name, address, and payment  details are PII.
• We act as a controller when we process PII for our own use. For  example, we act as a controller when you provide your PII to open an  account.

This notice does not apply when you process PII for your own benefit.  For example, when you send email for your business purposes that  includes PII, you are acting as the “controller”. When you act as the  controller, we act as the “processor” and process PII only in accordance  with your instructions or as required by law.

This notice also does not apply to third-party applications offered  through the Services. Please review the privacy notice of any  third-party service or website before using it.

We promptly review requests to exercise privacy rights relating to  the Services. If we need more information to process your request, we  will contact you by email or, if we do not have an email address on file  for you, by the same method you made your request.

Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Tools

We use three main “identifiers”: cookies, web beacons, and scripts.     

• Cookies are text files placed on your device when  you visit our webpages or view messages from us.  Some cookies are  “session cookies” that expire at the end of your browser session, while  others are “persistent cookies” that allow us to remember your  preferences and settings over multiple visits and across other websites.  
• Web Beacons are image files placed in our web pages and emails.
• Scripts are small pieces of computer code that  power customer service tools, deliver video, and provide interactive  experiences.  We also use scripts for measuring service use. 

We manage some identifiers directly.  Other identifiers are managed  by third parties.  For example, we use Google Analytics to monitor site  performance and visitor engagement.    

We use identifiers to provide customized services, measure website  performance, provide customer support, and deliver personalized  advertising.  Examples of how we use identifiers include, but are not  limited to: 

• Setting your service preferences 
• Managing your shopping cart 
• Guarding against fraud   
• Delivering relevant advertisements 
• Measuring website use 
• Conducting research to improve our services 

Identifier Management 

You can manage identifier settings through your customer  account. We use optional and mandatory cookies and other identifiers.  Optional cookies and other identifiers are used for support, website  performance, and advertising. Mandatory cookies and other identifiers  are used for account, verification, service continuity, security, and  other functions necessary to provide our website and services.

Many web browsers allow users to block cookies (directly or through  plugins and extensions). Some cookies, however, are essential for our  website and services to function. If you set your browser to block all  cookies, you may not be able to use our services.

"Do Not Track" and other Preference Signals 

Some web browsers provide a “Do Not Track” feature.  There  are no generally accepted standards for this feature and we do not  respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

We also do not recognize any universal opt-out mechanism, such as the  Global Privacy Control, which is still under development.   

Marketing and Advertising Preferences  

You can manage your marketing and advertising  preferences, including whether you wish to receive customized marketing  and advertising:   

• Through your Account Settings

Storage 

We store PII on our own systems and with trusted service providers, including Amazon Web Services.   

International Transfers 

We transfer PII internationally to provide the Services. We comply with applicable law when making international transfers.

For transfers of PII from the European Union/European Economic Area,  Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, WWD has certified its compliance  with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“EU-U.S. DPF), the Swiss-U.S.  Data Privacy Framework, and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF,  collectively (the “DPF”). Please see the WWD Data Privacy Framework Notice for more information on WWD’s participation in the DPF Program.

Please see our European Data Protection Disclosure for more information pursuant to the DPF and other transfer mechanisms  we use to transfer PII from the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and the UK.

Length of Retention 

We retain PII for our business needs and to comply with law.  If we  no longer need PII, we may delete it or de-identify it so that it no  longer identifies a specific person.  Factors we consider when deciding  when to delete or de-identify your PII include: (1) if you still have an  account, (2) if we are required to retain PII to comply with law, or  (3) if the PII is needed for tax other business purposes.

Security 

We use risk-based measures to protect PII, including appropriate  security controls and employee training.  We also require that our  service providers, business partners, and advertisers use appropriate  risk-based controls to protect PII.   

No Collection of PII about Children 

We do not knowingly collect PII about anyone under 18 without permission from their legal guardian.  Please contact us at privacy@secureserver.net if you believe we have collected information from a child without permission from their legal guardian. 

Legal Basis for Processing  

We process PII upon your request, with your consent, to fulfill our  contract with you, based on our legitimate interest, or other lawful  bases. The specific basis of processing depends on the services you are  using, the data being processed, the place where the processing occurs,  and the place where you live. If you have questions about our basis for  processing your PII, please contact us at privacy@secureserver.net.   

Non-Discrimination 

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.    

No Financial Incentives 

We do not provide any financial incentives for providing PII to us.

Policy Changes 

We may revise this Privacy Notice by posting a revised  statement at the same location as this Notice or on another location on  our website. If we change this Notice, it will apply to personal data  collected prior to adoption of the new statement only to the extent as  the new statement does not reduce the rights of affected data subjects.
