Uses made of the information

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. We use information held about you in the following ways:

If you are an existing customer, we will only contact you by electronic means (e-mail or SMS) with information about goods and services similar to those which were the subject of a previous sale to you.

If you are a new customer, we will contact you by electronic means only if you have consented to this. If you do not want us to use your data in this way, please tick any relevant box situated on the form on which we collect your data or otherwise indicate this at the time we collect your data.

Who your information might be shared with

We may disclose your personal data to:

• other companies within our corporate group to the extent necessary for the purposes set out above;
• ICANN, domain name registries and suppliers to provide our services;
• law enforcement agencies in connection with any investigation to help prevent unlawful activity;
• third parties if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Nom-IQ Limited, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction; and
• third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Transfers of your information out of the European Economic Area (EEA)

We may need to transfer your personal data to our group’s offices outside the EEA (e.g. United States of America or Japan), to the extent necessary for the provision of our services. In addition, to provide our services, we may need to transfer your personal data to ICANN, domain name registries and our suppliers, all of which are based around the world. To the extent your personal data will be transferred outside the EEA to a country which has not been recognised by the European Commission as having an adequate level of protection, we will ensure that the transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards or derogations under the data protection laws.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

Where we store your personal data and data security

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers located in the EEA and the USA (our data centre provider in the USA has signed up to the EU-US Privacy Shield). Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent accidental loss, unauthorised access or use, alteration or disclosure. We limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Retention and deletion of your personal data

We will only request minimum amount of personal data necessary for the purpose of processing and we will not keep your personal data for longer than is necessary for that purpose. We will delete your personal data within a reasonable time after the end of the provision of the relevant services related to processing and delete existing copies unless storage of any data is required by any applicable law or regulation.

We may keep your personal data for the duration of any statutory limitation period to the extent necessary.

Your rights

Under the data protection laws you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• the right to access: you can obtain confirmation from us as to whether or not we process your personal data and, where we do, access to the personal data, together with certain additional information.
• the right to rectification: you can ask any inaccurate personal data about you rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete personal data about you completed.
• the right to erasure: you can ask us to erase your personal data in some circumstances.
• the right to restrict processing: you can ask us to restrict processing your personal data in some circumstances.
• the right to object to processing: you can object to processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation in some circumstances.
• the right to data portability: where the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is consent, and such processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. This right does not apply where it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
• the right to complain to a supervisory authority: if you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. You may do so in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The supervisory authority in the UK is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach a supervisory authority so please contact us in the first instance.
• the right to withdraw consent: to the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

You can exercise any of your rights at any time by written notice to us at 28-30 Little Russell Street, London, WC1A 2HN, United Kingdom.
