Privacy Policy
Welcome to Domain Collective.
Your privacy is critically important to us.
At Domain Collective, we are dedicated to respecting your privacy and safeguarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
This Privacy Policy applies to collective.domains (hereinafter, "us", "we", or "collective.domains").
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us through the Website.
We have adopted this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to explain what information may be collected on our Website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties.
This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the Website and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.
This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms and Conditions posted on our Website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Website.
Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Domain Collective collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Domain Collective’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Domain Collective’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Domain Collective may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Domain Collective also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on collective.domains blog posts.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Domain Collective’s websites choose to interact with Domain Collective in ways that require Domain Collective to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Domain Collective gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we may ask visitors who sign up for a blog at collective.domains to provide a username and email address.
Security
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Advertisements
Ads appearing on our website may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Domain Collective and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Links To External Sites
Our Service may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy and the terms and conditions of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites, products, or services.
Site May Use Google AdWords for Remarketing
collective.domains may use the remarketing services to advertise on third-party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site, for example, using the contact form to make an inquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy. You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Preferences page, and if you want to, you can opt-out of interest-based advertising entirely by cookie settings or permanently using a browser plugin.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Domain Collective discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Domain Collective’s behalf or to provide services available at Domain Collective’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others.
Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Domain Collective’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Domain Collective will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying information to anyone.
Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Domain Collective discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental requests, or when Domain Collective believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Domain Collective, third parties, or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of collective.domains and have supplied your email address, Domain Collective may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Domain Collective and our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example, via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Domain Collective takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Aggregated Statistics
Domain Collective may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. Domain Collective may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Domain Collective does not disclose your personally-identifying information.
Affiliate Disclosure
This site may contain links to affiliate websites, and we receive an affiliate commission for any purchases made by you on the affiliate websites using such links. Our affiliation does not affect your purchases or the price you may pay.
Cookies
To enrich and perfect your online experience, Domain Collective uses "Cookies", similar technologies, and services provided by others to display personalized content, appropriate advertising, and store your preferences on your computer. A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Domain Collective uses cookies to help Domain Collective identify and track visitors, their usage of collective.domains, and their website access preferences. Domain Collective visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Domain Collective's websites, with the drawback that certain features of Domain Collective's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Privacy Policy Changes
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the services to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.
