What information do we collect?
We may collect the following information:
What do we do with the information we collect?
We use this information to provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:
We may contact you by e-mail, phone or mail unless you have registered with the appropriate Preference Service.
We use your IP address to help detect and diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site.
We may also disclose information (suitably secured and protected by contractual arrangements) to service providers which assist us in operating the GNR Registry.
Further, we may pass your personal information to third parties where there is a proposed sale or restructuring of GNR Limited or The Global Name Registry, Limited.
Finally, we may also provide prospective partners, advertisers and other third parties with statistics but such provision will be purely generic and never be tied to a specific user.
Email marketing
We may like to provide you with the information above by email. However, we appreciate that email .spam. has become a problem in recent years.
If you are a .name subscriber or customer or you have previously asked us for information on our products, we may send you information on our range of products by email, unless you have asked us not to do so.
If the reason you have given us personal information is to receive email information from us, we will continue to provide this information by email unless you ask us not to do so.
Otherwise, when you provide us with personal information, we will ask you whether or not you are happy for us to send you this kind of information by email.
If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive marketing emails from us, please contact our data protection compliance officer at unsubscribe@gnr.com.
Whom do we share this information with?
We will not give, sell, rent, loan, or otherwise disclose to any third parties outside of Global Name Registry (and/or its outsourced providers and affiliates only to the extent necessary for the operation of the registry which may be located in a different jurisdiction, including the US), except when we have given you notice or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (i) comply with legal process, (ii) enforce the service terms and conditions, or (iii) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Global Name Registry, its customers, or the public.
This process may include sending personal information to other countries, whose data protection laws may not be as extensive as in the European Economic Area, including the US. However, we have taken appropriate steps to ensure the same level of protection for the data processing carried out in these countries as within the European Economic Area.
How to get copies of or amend the information we have collected
You may request details of personal information which we hold about you under the Data Protection Act 1998. A small fee will be payable. If you would like a copy of the information we hold on you please e-mail us at cao@verisign-grs.com.
If you think any information we have about you is incorrect or incomplete, please write or e-mail us as soon as possible. We will correct or update any information as soon as possible.
