Suggested text: If you leave a comment on our site you may
opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for
your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you
leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if
your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is
discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login
information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days,

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images,
articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same
way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional
third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content,
including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an
account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the

How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained
indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically
instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal
information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or
delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their
username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request
to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including
any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any
personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged
to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
SpuntPuppy.com Privacy Policy
SpuntPuppy.com is a leader in online privacy rights. We have created this
privacy statement in order to demonstrate our commitment to you, our customer,
through transparent, easy-to- understand information regarding our data
practices. You will understand what we collect, why we collect it and what we
do with it. This policy applies to all SpuntPuppy.com brands, websites, apps,
products, services or technologies (we will collectively refer to these as
“Services”).
Additional privacy practices for certain Services can be found in Details
for Specific Products and Services.
Information Collection: Account Level
At an Account Level, we collect and use information necessary to enable you
to purchase and manage Services, provide you with support for those Services
and to curate your experience with us. Some information is collected and used
based on contractual consent and other is based on informed consent, which may
be changed at any time.
Basic Account Information.
Information Collected. Our site uses forms in which you give us
contact information (such as your name, address, phone number, fax number,
billing information, IP address and email address) so you can create an
account, place orders, register domains, request information, and request
support help. As you use your account, we may also collect support requestsand
other related types of information that is specific to the management of your
account and Services with us.
Legal Requirement. This type of information is legally and/or
contractually required to be able to purchase and use Services. For example, we
are required to be able to verify this type of information upon request by our
payment processor. It is also required to be able to serve legal notices to you
and is mandated by certain Services we offer. In addition, some Services, such
as domains, require this information for you to purchase them. If you are
purchasing a domain from us, we are required by law to collect and retain this
information. We are further required to verify that the information provided is
accurate and serve legally required notices regarding your domain(s). Consent
for the collection, use and retention of this information for these purposes is
considered to be contractually given for the duration of your use of such
Service and any legally required retention period.
How We Use This Information.
Sending Emails. Legally Required. As noted above, we use
emails to communicate with you, to confirm your placed orders, to send
information that you have requested and to serve legally or contractually
required communications. Legally required emails cover ICANN mandated
verification emails, renewal notices and any other policy or procedure created
by ICANN which governs the purchase of domains. Additionally, we may be
required by law to serve notices to you such as DMCA Takedown Notices, UDRP notices,
etc. Or, we may deem a change to one of our policies to be material and,
therefore, determine a duty (though not a legal requirement) to inform you of
this change. These types of communications do not fall under any of our opt-out
procedures.
Sending Emails: Service Communications & Promotional
Communications. We also may use this information when it is important for
us to contact you regarding functionality changes to Services you have
purchased and/or our website and provide customer service (“Service
Communications”.) By creating an account with us and/or purchasing our
Services, you agree to receive these types of communication and acknowledge
that they are not optional. We also use this information to share details about
new services and special offers we think you’ll find valuable (“Promotional
Communications”.) You are able to opt-out of receiving Promotional
Communications (or opt-into, depending on your country of residence) through
preferences in your account panel or the unsubscribe instructions contained in
the email communication.
Legally Required Disclosure. We will never share your
information without your permission or in ways other than as outlined in this
policy. The only exceptions to this are when we are required by law, in the good
faith belief that such action is necessary in order to comply with the law, or
when we must comply with a legal process. Examples of these types of exceptions
are court orders, subpoenas, and UDRP/URS processes. In each of these
situations, we will carefully review the documentation provided and only comply
if such documentation meets requisite legal standards.
Changes in Our Practices. If we change our
information-handling practices or other privacy aspects, we will post those
changes on this privacy statement. If we make any material changes we will
notify you by means of a notice on this site prior to the change becoming
effective, and we may also try to notify you through email of the privacy
changes, if necessary.
Retention & Deletion of Account Information.
Personal Information Following Termination of Account. When
your SpuntPuppy.com account is cancelled (either voluntarily or involuntarily)
all of your personally identifiable information is placed in
“deactivated” status within our corresponding databases. However, you
should know that deactivation of your account does not mean your personally
identifiable information has been deleted from our database entirely. We will
retain and use your personally identifiable information, if necessary, in order
to resolve disputes, enforce our agreements and/or as required by laws or
regulations. Thus, it may not be immediately deleted upon request and is an
approved exception to GDPR and CCPA deletion rights. By creating an account
with us, using our support services and/or purchasing Services, you acknowledge
and agree to these terms of retention.
Information Collection: Site Usage
Device Information. We collect information from your devices (computers,
mobile phones, tablets, etc.), such as IP address, cookie information, so that
we may recognize your devices to provide you with legal notices (if required by
your country of residence), support services (when you contact our support
staff) and personalized experiences on our site and emails. Certain types of
collection and use may be optional and controlled via our cookie tools.
Information from Others. We are dedicated to continually improving your
experience on our website. Like many companies, we use third-parties to help us
track browsing, identify technical issues and provide ways to enhance your overall
experience. Several of the tools that we use and what they do are:
Log Files: We use information gathered about you from our site statistics
via log files provided by third-party tracking partners (for example, your IP
address) to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our
website. We also gather broad demographic information from this data to help us
improve our site and make your browsing and purchasing experiences more
enjoyable. This is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
Cookies: Our site uses cookies to keep track of your session information. We
do link the information we store in cookies to personally identifiable
information you submit while on our site.
We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie
expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard
drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by
following directions provided in your internet browser’s “help” file.
We also use cookies to store your username if you request to have your
username remembered during login. That information will be used to pre-fill the
login form at a later time. If you are referred to our website through an ad or
a partner, we will store the referral information in the cookies.
The use of cookies by our partners, affiliates, tracking utility company and
service providers is not covered by our privacy statement. We do not have
access or control over these cookies. Our tracking utility company uses session
ID cookies to help us improve our site and make your browsing and purchasing
experiences more enjoyable.
For those customers in countries subject to GDPR and LGPD, please see your
cookie preference panel for additional instructions on how to opt-in and
opt-out of cookies. The cookie preference panel is accessible once you have
acted upon the cookie policy pop-up.
Find more information regarding the categories of cookies we use and our
specific cookie
policy here. By continuing to use and navigate our sites, services,
applications, tools or messaging, you are agreeing to our use of cookies
described in this Privacy Policy.
Gifs: Our third-party tracking utility company employs a software technology
called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs) that help us better manage
content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are
tiny graphics with unique identifiers, similar in function to cookies; they are
used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which
are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly
on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
Our tracking utility company does not tie the information gathered by clear
gifs to our customers’ personally identifiable information.
Contests: From time to time we request information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary,
and the user, therefore, has a choice whether or not to respond and disclose
this information. Information requested may include contact information (such
as name, email and shipping address) and demographic information (such as zip
code and age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and
award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or
improving the use and satisfaction of this site and/or any other purpose that
we explicitly disclose in the contest rules.
Testimonials: We post customer testimonials on our website which may contain
personally identifiable information. We do obtain the customer’s consent via
email, prior to posting the testimonial, to post their name along with their
testimonial. If you would like to request the removal of your testimonial from
the site contact us at support@SpuntPuppy.com
Public Blog: Our website offers a publicly accessible blog. You should be
aware that any information you provide in this area may be read, collected and
used by others who access it. To request removal of your personal information
from our blog, contact us
at support@SpuntPuppy.com In
some cases, we may not be able to remove your personal information. If this
occurs, we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.
Third-Party Product Offerings & Websites: Our site also contains links
to other third-party websites, especially where we offer their products or
services. SpuntPuppy.com (www.SpuntPuppy.com.com) is not responsible for the
privacy practices or the content of such websites. We encourage you to
carefully read the privacy statement of any website you visit.
How We Share This Information
SpuntPuppy.com shares information within its affiliated brands and
companies. We also share information we have about you for the purposes
described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide Services that you have

customers with companies, organizations or individuals outside of SpuntPuppy.com,
unless one of the following circumstances applies:
With Your Consent. We will share information with companies, organizations

such as name or email address.) When you use third-party apps, websites or
other products integrated with our Services, they may collect information about
your activities subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
For Legal and Other Purposes. We may access, preserve and disclose
information to investigate, prevent, or take action in connection with: (i)
legal process and legal requests; (ii) enforcement of our Universal Terms
of Service; (iii) claims that any content violates the rights of

Protecting Children’s Privacy
Our Services are for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect, use,

Data Processing and Transfers
When you use or interact with any of our Services, you consent to the data
processing, sharing, transferring and uses of your information as outlined in
this Privacy Policy, which will only be done when necessary for the performance
of our contract with you, when we have your consent to do so, or subject to the
appropriate standard contractual clauses. Regardless of the country where you
reside, you acknowledge that you are directly transferring your data to us in
our United States based
servers and agree to processing within the United States, where SpuntPuppy.com
processes its data. In addition, you authorize us to transfer, process, store
and use your information in countries other than your own in accordance with
this Privacy Policy and to provide you with Services. Some of these countries
may not have the same data protection safeguards as the country where you
reside. By using our Services, you consent to us transferring information about
you to these countries.
Compliance with legal, regulatory and law enforcement requests. We cooperate
with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce
and comply with the law. We may disclose any information about you to
government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole
discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal
process (such as subpoena requests), to protect our property and rights or the
property and rights of a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any
person, or to prevent or stop activity we consider to be illegal or unethical.
To the extent we are legally permitted to do so, we may take reasonable
steps to notify you if we are required to provide your personal information to
third parties as part of legal process. We will also share your information to
the extent necessary to comply with any ICANN, registry or ccTLD rules,
regulations and policies when you register a domain name with us. For reasons
critical to maintaining the security, stability and resiliency of the Internet,
this includes the transfer of domain name registration information to the
underlying domain registry operator and escrow provider, and publication of
that information as required by ICANN or with other third parties that demonstrate
a legitimate legal interest to such information.

practices that are not subject to this Privacy Policy. These products will be
identified in the Details for Specific Products and Services section.
