Privacy Policy

We are DatastiQ Digital Marketing Agency (“DatastiQ”), a company registered in the Philippines providing Cloud Web Hosting Services as well as domain registration and management services. We highly value our customer’s privacy and care about protecting the personal information of our customers and visitors who use our websites, products, or services (collectively, our “Users”).

This privacy policy provides details about how your personal information is collected, shared, and used by us. You can learn more about our organization at datastiq.com.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or our practices described herein, you may reach us through our contact@datastiq.com.

This privacy policy covers personal information, including any information we collect, use, and share from you, as described below.

This privacy policy does not cover how our Users may share data that they collect using our services.

Our purpose to collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how DatastiQ’s visitors use its website.

DatastiQ also collects potentially personal-identifying information like:

• Email address
• Personal website URL
• Internet Protocol (IP) address for logged in users
• Internet Protocol (IP) address for users placing an order
• Internet Protocol (IP) address for users leaving comments on our blog
• DatastiQ only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

• Information you provide prior to any registration process, such as your email when you provide it to us;
• Information that you provide during any registration process (such as your name, company name, email address, phone number, billing address, or credit card information, geographic location and industry), when you call or email us (for support or otherwise) or when you use our products or services; and
• Payment information that you provide to us (by way of our Service or otherwise) when you purchase some of our products and services, including credit card data.

• Public Whois. Our contracts with ICANN and other Registries require us to make certain domain name information (“WHOIS Information”) available and accessible to the public through a searchable port 43 “WHOIS” Service via a public webpage operated by the applicable registrar of record (“WHOIS Site”). The WHOIS Site is a publicly accessible database that lists WHOIS Information, including a particular domain name, the name server(s) to which the domain name points, and the domain name’s creation and expiration date. Except for EU/EEA natural persons (as described below), your Personal Information could be displayed on the WHOIS Site.
• EU / EEA natural persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679, or GDPR, if you are a EU/EEA natural person (as defined by the GDPR), other than as specified in this addendum, our publication of WHOIS Information will not contain any Personal Information. Accordingly, we will not display Personal Information of a EU/EEA natural person on the WHOIS Site.
• Transfer Out. If you initiate a transfer out of a domain name away from us as the registrar of record, pursuant to our contract with ICANN, we may need to publish your registrant email address obtained from your Personal Information on the WHOIS Site for a period of approximately five (5) calendar days. After this period and assuming a valid transfer has occurred, you would cease to be our customer for that domain name and your WHOIS Information would be managed by the gaining registrar.
• Certain Registries. Registries are third party providers of TLDs that are independent of domain registrars. If required by contract with a particular Registry, we may be obligated, as a domain registrar of domains provided by the Registry, to provide Personal Information and Additional Personal Information to such Registry to successfully complete your domain name registration. If we provide your Personal Information and Additional Personal Information to a Registry, the Registry has its own obligation to comply with applicable data privacy laws.
• Data Escrow. Our contract with ICANN requires us to deposit the Personal Information collected with a secure third-party escrow provider who acts solely as a holder of the data.
• Permitted Disclosures. We may also disclose your Personal Information when required by the rules, regulations and policies of ICANN, including but not limited to the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP).
