Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 19, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how GeoNames.com ("we," "us" or "our") collects, uses and protects information when you visit our website or contact us about a domain name. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you submit a purchase request, offer, lease inquiry or contact form, we collect the details you enter, such as your name, email address, phone number, the domain you are interested in, any offer amount and any comments.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard technical data when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed and the date and time of your visit. This data is used to keep the site secure and working properly.
Cookies. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Cookies are only used where strictly necessary, such as keeping our site administrator signed in.
How We Use Your Information
- To respond to your inquiries, offers and purchase or lease requests.
- To contact you by email, phone or WhatsApp about a domain you asked about.
- To complete, document and support domain name transactions.
- To operate, secure and improve the website.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
How We Share Information
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site and complete transactions, and only as needed for those purposes:
- GoDaddy, which processes domain purchases, lease-to-own plans, payments and domain transfers under its own privacy policy.
- Web3Forms, which delivers the forms you submit on this site to us by email.
- Vercel and Supabase, which host the website and its domain listings.
We may also disclose information if required by law, court order or other legal process, or to protect our rights, our users or the public.
Third-Party Websites
Our site links to third-party services such as GoDaddy and WhatsApp. When you leave our site, the privacy practices of those services apply, and we encourage you to review their policies.
Data Retention and Security
We keep inquiry and transaction information only as long as reasonably needed to respond to you, complete a transaction, keep business records and meet legal requirements. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information, but no website or method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Your Choices and Nevada Privacy Rights
You may ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information you have submitted, or to stop contacting you, at any time.
Nevada residents have the right under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A to opt out of the sale of certain personal information. We do not sell personal information, but you may still submit an opt-out request, and we will honor it.
Our site does not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, because we do not track visitors across other websites.
Children's Privacy
This website is intended for adults and businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
