Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide better services to our users. The types of information we collect include:

• Account Information: When you register with email, we collect your email, username, and optional display name. Passwords are stored only as salted, computationally expensive password hashes. If you use X, we receive your public profile name, handle, and profile picture. If you use Google, we receive the Google account's verified email, display name, and profile picture.
• Seller Listings: The domain name, wholesale asking price, listing status, and DNS ownership-verification status and method. Listings may be visible to signed-in members before DNS ownership verification is completed and are clearly marked Unverified until verification succeeds. We do not ask sellers for a purchase link or listing description.
• Member Storefront: Your username, display name, optional profile picture, and active domain listings are displayed to signed-in members on your seller page. Each listing shows whether ownership has been verified. Your account email is not displayed.
• Seller Inquiries: If you use our member-only seller contact form, we relay the buyer's name, email, message, and related domain to the seller so they can reply.
• Usage Data: We use Google Analytics to collect information about how you interact with our site, including your IP address, browser type, and pages visited.

2. How We Use Information

We use the collected information to:

• Maintain and improve our website functionality.
• Attribute seller listings to accounts, create member storefronts, display verification status, and optionally verify domain control through public DNS lookups.
• Analyze site traffic and user behavior to optimize content.
• Communicate with you regarding your listings if necessary.
• Verify email ownership, deliver password-reset links, secure accounts, and relay seller inquiries without publishing seller email addresses.

3. Cookies

We use a secure, HttpOnly session cookie to keep users signed in. We also use analytics cookies or similar technologies to understand site activity. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, although account features may then be unavailable.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share information with service providers that operate authentication, email delivery, hosting, and analytics. A buyer's inquiry details are shared with the seller they chose to contact. We may also disclose information if required by law.

5. Security

The security of your data 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.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
