What we collect
- Search terms you submit so we can return domain hack suggestions.
- Technical information such as IP address, browser, device, pages visited, referrer, approximate location, and request logs, where this is collected by hosting, security, analytics, or rate-limit systems.
- Contact details and message content if you email us or enquire about a website project.
- Affiliate click information where a registrar, Wix, or affiliate network records that you followed a link from this site.
How we use personal data
- To provide search results, check availability, prevent abuse, and keep the site secure.
- To understand how people use the site and improve it.
- To respond to enquiries and discuss website build services.
- To manage affiliate referrals and disclose commercial relationships.
- To comply with legal, accounting, tax, and regulatory obligations.
Lawful bases
We rely on legitimate interests to run, secure, improve, and understand the site, consent where required for non-essential cookies or direct marketing, contract steps where you ask about paid services, and legal obligation where we must keep records or respond to lawful requests.
Sharing personal data
We may share limited data with service providers that help us host, secure, operate, analyse, or maintain the site, including Cloudflare and analytics providers if enabled. When you follow third-party links, those services collect and use data under their own privacy notices. We may also share data where required by law or to protect our rights.
International transfers
Some providers may process data outside the UK or EEA. Where required, we will rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses, or equivalent protections used by the provider.
How long we keep data
- Search and technical logs are kept only as long as needed for security, debugging, rate limiting, analytics, and service improvement.
- Enquiry emails are kept for as long as needed to respond, manage the relationship, and keep business records.
- Legal, accounting, and tax records are kept for the period required by law.
Your rights
Depending on your location and the lawful basis used, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of your personal data. You can also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise these rights, contact hello@example.com. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
Children
This site is not aimed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Changes
We may update this privacy policy as the site, analytics setup, affiliate relationships, or service providers change. The updated date above shows when this version was last changed.
