Paknic cares about your privacy and your privacy is important to us. At the time of sign-up or later, we gather certain type of information about our customers and we want to let you know your privacy rights. Our employees are required to familiarize themselves with this privacy policy as a condition of their employment, and any employee violating the policy is subject to disciplinary action. We collect and use personal data only as it might be needed for us to deliver to you our world-class products, services, websites and mobile/other applications (collectively, our "Services"). Your personal data includes information such as:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Telephone Number
  • Email Address
  • Date of birth
  • Other data collected that could directly or indirectly identify you

If at any time you have questions about our practices or any of your rights described here, you may reach our team by contacting us at privacy@paknic.com.

What kind of information do we collect?

When our customers sign-up for Paknic and our registrar or our partners' account, we collect contact information (domain registrant, administrative, technical, billing), such as company name, contact person's name, mailing address, email, and phone/fax number as well as payment information, such as your credit card number and government identification. During the time of sign-up or later, our systems record information about your session, such as the date and time of use, and the specific Internet address assigned to you including IP Address. We also tracks requests you make for information on our website for our products and services, and responses you provide to our surveys. Finally, we keep records of your payment history and communications you have with our support team. Except in extraordinary circumstances (when we receive a court order, to protect the company's rights or property, or in emergencies where someone's safety is at risk), we do not keep track of what sites you visit when you are using the services.

However, we also collect additional information when delivering our Services to you to ensure necessary and optimal performance. These methods of collection may not be as obvious to you, so we wanted to highlight and explain below a bit more about what these might be (as they vary from time to time) and how they work:

Account related information is collected in association with your use of our Services, such as account number, purchases, when products renew or expire, information requests, and customer service requests and notes or details explaining what you asked for and how we responded.

Cookies and similar technologies on our websites and our mobile applications allow us to track your browsing behavior, links clicked, items purchased, your device type, and to collect various data, including analytics, about how you use and interact with our Services. This allows us to provide you with more relevant product offerings, a better experience on our sites and mobile applications, and to collect, analyze and improve the performance of our Services. We may also collect your location (IP address) so that we can personalize our Services. For additional information, and to learn how to manage the technologies we utilize, please visit our Cookie Policy.

Data about Usage of Services is automatically collected when you use and interact with our Services, including metadata, log files, cookie/device IDs and location information. This information includes specific data about your interactions with the features, content and links (including those of third-parties, such as social media plugins) contained within the Services, Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and settings, the date and time the Services were used, information about browser configuration and plugins, language preferences and cookie data, information about devices accessing the Services, including type of device, what operating system is used, device settings, application IDs, unique device identifiers and error data, and some of this data collected might be capable of and be used to approximate your location.

Supplemented Data may be received about you from other sources, including publicly available databases or third parties from whom we have purchased data, in which case we may combine this data with information we already have about you so that we can update, expand and analyze the accuracy of our records, identify new customers, and provide products and services that may be of interest to you. If you provide us personal information about others, or if others give us your information, we will only use that information for the specific reason for which it was provided to us.

How do we utilize this information?

We use the gathered information in order to provide you with the best on-line services. As you might expect, contact information is used to contact you concerning your account and our company. Payment information is used to validate your identity and to bill you for the services and products you order. Information on your on-line sessions is used to allocate system resources and to ensure compliance with our Terms and Conditions of Use. Information on your communications with our support team is used to address the issues raised by our customers. In addition, we regularly sends out mailings regarding the operation of its service and other goods & services that it believes may be of interest to our customers. You may request that we should not send you any such offers or mailings in future by simply sending us an email at privacy@paknic.com and we will respect your privacy. We reserve the right, however, to send bulletins and other important information regarding our products and services at its discretion.

We strongly believe in both minimizing the data we collect and limiting its use and purpose to only that (i) for which we have been given permission, (ii) as necessary to deliver the Services you purchase or interact with, or (iii) as we might be required or permitted for legal compliance or other lawful purposes. Such uses may include:

Delivering, improving, updating and enhancing the Services we provide to you. We collect various information relating to your purchase, use and/or interactions with our Services. We utilize this information to:

  • Improve and optimize the operation and performance of our Services (again, including our websites and mobile applications)
  • Diagnose problems with and identify any security risks, errors, or needed enhancements to the Services
  • Detect and prevent fraud and abuse of our Services and systems
  • Collecting aggregate statistics about use of the Services
  • Understand and analyze how you use our Services and what products and services are most relevant to you.
Often, much of the data collected is aggregated or statistical data about how individuals use our Services, and is not linked to any personal data, but to the extent it is itself personal data, or is linked or linkable to personal data, we treat it accordingly.

Sharing with trusted third parties. We may share your personal data with third parties with which we have partnered to allow you to integrate their services into our own Services, and with trusted third party service providers as necessary for them to perform services on our behalf, such as:

  • Processing credit card payments

Communicating with you. We may contact you directly or through a third party service provider regarding products or services you have signed up or purchased from us, such as necessary to deliver transactional or service related communications. We may also contact you with offers for additional services we think you'll find valuable if you give us consent, or where allowed based upon legitimate interests. You don't need to provide consent as a condition to purchase our goods or services. These contacts may include:

  • Telephone calls
  • Automated phone calls or text messages.

In addition, it will describe any choice options you have in regards to the use and/or sharing of your personal data with a co-branded partner, as well as how to exercise those options.

If you make use of a service that allows you to import contacts (ex. using email marketing services to send emails on your behalf), we will only use the contacts and any other personal information for the requested service. If you believe that anyone has provided us with your personal information and you would like to request that it be removed from our database, please contact us at privacy@paknic.com.

Transfer of personal data abroad. If you utilize our Services from a country other than the country where our servers are located, your communications with us may result in transferring your personal data across international borders.
