1. Introduction

Welcome to SellDirect.uk. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or negotiate and purchase domain names directly from us.

2. Data We Collect

We collect and process limited personal data necessary to facilitate secure transactions, including:

  • Identity Data: First name, last name, and corporate entity name.
  • Contact Data: Email address, billing address, and phone number.
  • Transaction Data: Specific details about the domains you browse, negotiate, or purchase via our WooCommerce platform.
  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and cookies used to improve your browsing experience.

Note: We do not store or process your credit card or bank details on our servers. All financial transactions are safely managed by fully regulated payment gateways and third-party escrow systems (such as Escrow.com).

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your information strictly for legitimate business operations, including:

  • Processing Orders: Facilitating secure domain handovers and generating accurate financial invoices.
  • Identity Verification: Completing mandatory WHOIS registry changes and compliance checks required for international domain ownership transfers.
  • Communication: Responding to your domain offers, inquiries, and providing technical support.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Your information is shared only under specific, secure conditions:

  • Escrow Providers: To verify transactions and authorize ownership handovers safely.
  • Domain Registrars: To initiate official ICANN registration changes and update domain registry records.
  • Legal Compliance: If required to do so by applicable UK laws or regulatory bodies.

5. Data Security and Confidentiality

We employ enterprise-grade security protocols (including SSL encryption) to protect your data. Furthermore, we respect corporate anonymity. If you are acquiring a domain during a stealth launch phase, all negotiations and buyer identifiers remain entirely confidential to protect your upcoming brand rollout.

6. Your Rights

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), you have the right to access, correct, restrict, or request the deletion of your personal data stored in our system.
