Information We Collect
WTI only collects personal information about users that we
consider necessary for providing our services in an efficient, customized, and
user-friendly manner, including your name, address, phone number and email

Our Use of Your Information
In general, you can browse a large portion of the site
without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about
yourself. Once you give us your personal information, you are not anonymous to
us. If you choose to use our services, we may require you to provide contact
and identity information, billing information, and other personal information
as indicated on the forms throughout the site. You always have the option not
to provide information by choosing not to use a particular service or feature.
We provide you the opportunity to opt-out of having your
personal information used for certain purposes when we ask for this
information. For example, if you register for a user account but do not wish to
receive any additional marketing material from us you can indicate your
preference on the registration form. If you no longer wish to receive our
newsletter and promotional communications you may opt-out of receiving them by
following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by
emailing us. In addition, we offer an opportunity to opt-out of receiving our
newsletter on your account data page, or you may call us.
You will be notified when your personal information is
collected by any third party that is not our agent/service provider so that you
can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with
that party.
Under some circumstances we may require some additional
financial information, including, without limitation, your billing address,
bank account information, a credit card number and expiration date, and
tracking information from checks or money orders.
We may automatically collect certain information based upon
your behavior on the site. We use this information to do internal research on
our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to serve our users better.
This information may include the URL that you come from or go to (whether this
URL is on the site or not), your computer browser information, and your IP
address.
Technologies such as cookies, beacons, scripts and tags are
used by wti-domains.com LLC and our third party advertising company. These
technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the website, tracking
users’ movements around the site, and gathering demographic information about
our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these
technologies by these companies on an individual and aggregated basis. Various
browsers may offer their own management tools for removing these types of
tracking technologies.
We use Local Storage, such as HTML5, to store content
information and preferences. Various browsers may offer their own management
tools for removing HTML5. Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain
features on our website or to display advertising based upon your web browsing
activity also use Flash cookies or HTML5 to collect and store information.
Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5.
In addition, the use of clear gifs in our HTML-based emails
let us know which emails the recipients have opened. This allows us to gauge
the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our
marketing campaigns. If users would like to opt-out of these emails, please
email us at info@wti-domains.com.
We use data collection devices such as "cookies"
on certain pages of the site to help analyze our web page flow, measure
promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. "Cookies"
are small files placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing our
services. We may offer certain features that are only available through the use
of a "cookie." We also use cookies to allow you to enter your
password less frequently during a session. Cookies can also help us provide
information targeted to your interests. Personal information you have submitted
while on our site is linked with information gathered from our use of cookies
in the form of log files.
This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses,
browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating
system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to
analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the
site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We
do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable
information.
Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that
they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session.
You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in
that case you may not be able to use certain features on the site and you may
be required to re-enter your password or provide other information more
frequently during a session.
We use Google AdSense to publish ads on this site. When you view or click on an ad a cookie will
be set to help better provide advertisements that may be of interest to you on
this and other Web sites. You may

page: www.google.com/privacy_ads.html
If you choose to make bids, buy or sell through the site, we
may collect information about your bidding, buying and selling behavior and
transactions. If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or
letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your
activities on the site, we may collect such information into a file specific to
you.
We use your information and other information we obtain from
your current and past activities on the site to resolve disputes, troubleshoot
problems, collect fees owed, pay amounts due you, verify your account data,
measure user interest in WTI's products and services, inform you about online
and offline offers, products, services, and updates, customize your experience,
detect and protect us against error, fraud and other criminal activity, and
enforce our User Agreement. At times, we may look across multiple users to
identify problems or resolve disputes, and we may examine your information to
identify users using multiple Login Names.
We may compare and review your information for errors,
omissions and for accuracy. You agree that we may use your information to
contact you and deliver information to you that, in some cases, is targeted to
your perceived interests, such as targeted banner advertisements,
administrative notices, product offerings, and communications relevant to your
use of the site. By accepting this Agreement, you expressly agree to receive
this information.
Our Disclosure of Your Information
We do not share, sell or rent any of your personal
information to third parties without your explicit consent or in any way other
than as outlined in this privacy policy. However, the following describes some
of the ways that your personal information may be disclosed in the normal
course of business as part of our services.
Advertisers. We aggregate (gather up data across numerous
registered user accounts) personal information and disclose such information in
a non-personal manner to advertisers and other third parties for their
marketing and promotional purposes. For
such purposes, we do not disclose any information that could be used to identify
WTI users personally.
We partner with a third party ad network to either display
advertising on our Web site or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our ad network partner uses cookies and Web
beacons to collect non-personal information about your activities on this and
other Web sites to provide you targeted advertising based upon your interests.
If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you
targeted ads, you may opt-out by clicking here (or if located in the European
Union, click here). Please note this does not opt you out of being served
advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads.
Site. Although our pages may be coded with robot exclusion
headers, others may illegally attempt to automatically collect your email
address from the site. If you are involved in a transaction, we have features
that may allow other users to view your email address and obtain your contact
and other information to help complete the transaction. Further, we may send
out notices to you or other users regarding suspicious activity or policy
violations on the site.
Affiliates for Our Operations. We may use third parties
("affiliates") to facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of the
services that we provide to you (e.g., domain name search technology,
advertising provisions for parked domains, and other services) and therefore we
may provide some of your information directly to these affiliates. These
affiliates are subject to confidentiality agreements with us and other legal
restrictions that prohibit their use of the information we provide them for any
other purpose except to facilitate the specific outsourced service, unless you
have explicitly agreed or given your prior permission to them for additional
uses. In some instances, the affiliate may collect information directly from
you. In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the affiliate,
and all additional information you provide them and their additional uses will
be up to you. It may be necessary to disclose your stored information, such as
first and last name, company name, address, email and/or phone number, to
relevant domain monetization advertising partners for the purpose of providing
you such services.
Agents and Business Entities. We share much of our data,
including personal information about you, with our affiliates, subsidiaries,
and joint ventures that are committed to serving your online needs and
providing related services throughout the world. We use an outside credit card
processing company to bill you for goods and services. These companies do not
retain, share, store, or use personal information for any other purposes. To
the extent that these entities have access to your information, they will treat
it at least as protectively as they treat information they obtain from their other
users. Our affiliates, subsidiaries, and joint ventures follow privacy
practices no less protective of all users than our practices described in this
document, to the extent allowed by applicable law.
WTI, its affiliates, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or any
combination of such, will share some or all of your information with another
business entity should we plan to merge with, or be acquired by, that business
entity. Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined
entity follow this privacy policy with respect to your information. You will be notified via email and/or a
prominent notice on our Web site of any change in ownership or uses of your
personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your
personal information.
Legal Requests. WTI cooperates with law enforcement
authorities, as well as with other third parties, to enforce laws, intellectual
property rights, and to prevent fraud. In response to a verified request by law
enforcement or other government officials relating to a criminal investigation
or alleged illegal activity, we can, and you authorize us to, disclose your
name, city, state, telephone number, email address, login name history, fraud
complaints, and site use history, with or without a subpoena. Without limiting
the above, we will not disclose your personal information to law enforcement or
other government officials without a subpoena, court order or substantially
similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good faith that the disclosure
of information is necessary to protect our rights or to prevent imminent
physical harm, financial loss or to report suspected past, present, or future
illegal activity. Further, we can, and you authorize us to, disclose to a third
party your information, including your name, street address, city, state, zip
code, country, phone number, email, and company name, as we in our sole
discretion believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation
of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful
activity.
Use of Other Users' Information
In order to facilitate interaction among site users, our
site may allow you limited access to other users' information. By entering into
our User Agreement, you agree that, with respect to other users' personal
information that you obtain through the site or through a communication or
transaction facilitated by WTI. WTI
hereby grants to you a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use such
information only for: (a) WTI-related communications that are not unsolicited
commercial messages, (b) using services offered through WTI (e.g., escrow
services and fraud complaints), and (c) any other purpose that a user expressly
agrees to after you tell them the purpose you would like to use it for.
In all cases, you must give users an opportunity to remove
themselves from your database and a chance to review what information you have
collected about them. In addition, under no circumstances, except as defined
herein, can you disclose personal information about another site user to any
third party without the written consent of WTI and the written consent of that
user, including, but not limited to, email correspondence with WTI staff
regarding WTI users, whether in the course of providing WTI services or
otherwise. You agree that other users may use your personal information to
communicate with you in accordance with this paragraph.
Control of Your Login Name and Password
You are responsible for all actions taken with your login
name and password, including fees charged to your account and adherence to the
Acceptable Use terms contained in the WTI User Agreement. Your WTI user
password should be held in strict confidence and under no circumstances will
WTI personnel, its agents or affiliates ask you for your WTI user password. If
you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your
information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf.
Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should
immediately change your password as detailed in the paragraph below.
Accessing, Deleting, Reviewing and Changing Your Personal
Information
We offer you the ability to review, delete and change the
information you submit to us by logging into the site and entering in the new
information yourself or by emailing us at info@wti-domains.com . Once logged in as a
registered user, you can change your Password, other personal, contact, and
financial information, and user preferences by going to the applicable pages
available under "My WTI." You must promptly update your personal
information if it changes or is inaccurate. Once posted, you may not be able to
change or remove any bids or postings made on the site.
Generally, we will not modify your personal information
based on a request not submitted through the site because it can be difficult
to authenticate your identity manually.
Upon your request, we will deactivate and delete your
account, contact information, billing information, shipping information, and
financial information from our active databases. To make this request, email info@wti-domains.com. Your account will be deactivated and deleted as soon as
reasonably possible after we receive your request but no later than 30 days.
Upon receipt of a deactivation request, we will retain some
of your information in order to prevent fraud, collect fees owed, resolve
disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our
User Agreement, and comply with legal requirements. Therefore, you should not
expect that all of your information will be completely removed from our
databases in response to your requests. However, your information will be
deactivated from our active, registered user database, and will only be
available to select WTI personnel.
We will retain your information for as long as your account
is active, as needed to provide you services, for a minimum of 5 (five)
years. We will retain and use your
information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve
disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Other Information Collectors
Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy
Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we
collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other
parties, whether they are bidders, buyers or sellers on our site or other sites
throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure
of the information you disclose to them. WTI does not control the privacy policies
of third parties.
Security
WTI follows generally accepted industry standards to protect
the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we
receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic
storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use
commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot
guarantee its absolute security.
Your information is stored on WTI's servers located in the
United States and in European Union countries. When you enter sensitive
information (such as credit card or bank information) on our registration or
order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology
(SSL). We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and
unauthorized access. We employ many different security techniques to protect
such data from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the company, but
"perfect security "does not exist on the Internet or with any data,
digital or physical.
WTI personnel receive training on complying with our privacy
practices and the importance of protecting your information. Disciplinary
procedures are in place in should a WTI employee violate our Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions about security on our web site,
you can email us at info@wti-domains.com.

Facebook Like and Recommend buttons, the Twitter Share button, other widgets
that use the ShareThis button, and interactive mini-programs that run on our
site. These Features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting
on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly.
Social Media Features and Widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted
directly on our Site. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the
privacy policy of the company providing it.

practices may differ from those of WTI. If you submit personal information to
any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy policies. We
encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any Web site you visit.

changes to this privacy policy, the homepage, and other places we deem them
appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use
it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy
at any time by posting the amended terms on the site, so please check it
