You do not have to provide us with any of the abovementioned personal data. If you do not share certain information, however, you may not be able to buy nor use some of our services. You are also unlikely to get a taste of our overall customer experience. But it is your choice – we respect that.
We do not, and we will not, sell any of your personal data to any third party – including your name, address, email address or credit card information. We want to earn and maintain your trust and believe that protecting your data is absolutely essential in order to do that.
However, we do share your data with the following company categories that enable us to offer you our services, as listed below:
We may share aggregated, but anonymized, information and statistics about our customers. However, before we do so, we will make sure it cannot identify you as a person.
The domain registration process requires that the domain owner’s contact information is publicly available through the so-called WHOIS service. However, the WHOIS service privacy has recently come to comply with EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, keeping private contacts private by default for all but explicitly allowed partners, such as the police force. Some of our domain providers such as IIS and Tucows are complying with these privacy regulations through using WHOIS.
If you have said we can, we will send you marketing messages by email, to keep you informed about news, to guide you in understanding our products and why they match your needs.
You can stop marketing messages from us at any time for our offers and our newsletter, respectively but not necessarily both (unless you want to).
You can easily unsubscribe from these emails:
Once unsubscribed, we will update your profile as fast as possible so that you do not receive any emails from the lists, which you have opted-out from. Please note that it can take some time before all our systems are updated, so you might get messages from us while we process your request.
Stopping marketing messages will not stop service communications which are essential for the functionality of your services, such as: information about domain registration / expiration, providing and cancelling services, confirmation of successful payments by credit cards, etc.
We also engage in online advertising, to keep you up-to-date and help you see and find our products. These are the various digital advertising tools we are using:
The digital ads that reach you will be based on information you have registered with us, on your previous use of Svenska Domäner (for example pages you have visited or items you have placed in the shopping cart), or if you have previously interacted with any kind of digital ad from Svenska Domäner.
