Last Updated: September 2021

We value your privacy and are committed to protecting the privacy of all our clients, business partners and users of our services and website. We therefore ask that you please read our Privacy Policy before providing us with any information about you or any other person.

This Policy explains when and why we collect personal information about people who enquire about or make an investment using the services of Domain Magnate LLC. The policy also explains how we use that information, the conditions under which we may disclose information to others and how we keep personal information secure.

When using the terms “personal data”, “personal information” or simply “your information” in our Privacy Policy, we mean information that relates to you and allows us to identify you, either directly or in combination with other information that we may hold. The pieces of information are also known as “identifiers” and include a name, an online identifier, or a reference to one or more factors specific to your physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

When using the term “processing”, we mean any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction (so practically anything we do to your personal data is processing!)

How to contact us

Domain Magnate LLC is the data controller of any personal data you provide and responsible for this website. Any questions regarding our Privacy Policy should be sent to:

Privacy Manager – [email protected]

What type of information is collected?

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

Identity Data includes first name, maiden name, last name, username or similar identifier, marital status, title, date of birth and gender.
Contact Data includes billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone numbers.
Financial Data includes bank account and payment card details.
Transaction Data includes details about payments to and from you and other details of products and services you have purchased from us.
Technical Data includes internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website. More information on this is contained in our Cookie Policy
Profile Data includes your username and password to access our client portal, your interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses.
Usage Data includes information about how you use our website, products and services, and navigate through the website.
Marketing and Communications Data includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.

We also collect, use and share ‘Aggregated Data’ such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

In most cases, we do not collect any ‘Special Categories’ of personal data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences. However, in limited cases, we may need to collect such categories of data and if so will rely on a lawful basis (such as your explicit consent) to ensure that we can lawfully process that data only as may be required as part of an ongoing business relationship you have with us.

How we collect information from you

We collect information about you when you:

use our website contact forms to enquire about products and services
register to receive one of our newsletters, or attend one of our events
email us directly to enquire about our services
enter into a formal business relationship with us

Other than from information you enter on our website, or provide on our documentation, we may also collect your personal data from documents you provide to us. For example, we may also ask you to provide evidence of your identity such as asking for a copy of your passport, driving licence, proof of residence or income. We are required to ask for this information to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) legislation such as the Proceeds of Crime Act 2015, to ensure we safeguard against and report any suspicious activity.

Monitoring

Please note that if you communicate with us electronically, including by e-mail, telephone or fax, this communication may be monitored and/or recorded to protect the interests of our business and our customers. This includes for the purposes of maintaining customer/service quality standards, detection of and/or prevention of crime and to ensure that Domain Magnate LLC complies with legal obligations.

If you fail to provide personal data

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with our services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time

How we use your personal information

We use personal information about you in connection with the following purposes:

Provision of services and account management:

to provide you with the information, products and services that you have requested from us.
to complete any transaction you are undertaking with us;
to manage and operate your account, including sending you information relating to your account controlled by Domain Magnate LLC;
to meet a legal or regulatory obligation.

Service improvements:

to ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you;
to administer our site and for internal business administration and operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, statistical and survey purposes;
to notify you about changes to our service;
as part of our efforts to keep our site safe and secure;

Direct Marketing:

to provide you with information about other services we offer that are similar to those that you already have or have enquired about;
to provide you with other marketing material such as our Newsletter.

If you do not want your personal information to be used for marketing purposes, please contact us on the above details.

Where you are an existing client, we will rely on our legitimate interests as the lawful basis for processing your personal information for the purposes of direct marketing. To this end, it may be necessary to process your information so we can directly market in our legitimate interest. In addition, we consider it reasonable for you to expect you may receive marketing material from us in the same methods we normally communicate with you (e.g. via email) and that there is no disproportionate impact to your individual privacy rights in this case.

In this context, “legitimate interest” means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us on the above details.

Change of Purpose:

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us on the above details.

Automated decision-making

We do not use automated-decision making methods (including profiling), save that we may risk profile our clients in compliance with applicable anti-money laundering legislation.

Decisions as to how your data is processed are therefore based on your instructions to us under any agreement we may have with you, or on our initiative in order to fulfil our agreement with you or to comply with our legal obligations (and on an occasional basis, to further our legitimate interests as outlined in this Privacy Policy. This means decisions are not made by robots or computers, and therefore not ‘automated’. However, certain third parties may use certain automated decision-making tools or software. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of others and will take reasonable steps to bring such automated decision-making to your attention, but you are encouraged to become familiar with the privacy practices of any third parties you enter into any agreements with.

How long we keep your information for

We retain your information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which we process the information as set out in this Privacy Policy. Records can be held on a variety of media (physical or electronic) and formats.

Retention periods are determined based on the type of record, the nature of the record and activity and the legal or regulatory requirements that apply to those records. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

If you wish to raise a complaint on how we have handled your personal data, you can contact us as set out above and we will then investigate the matter.

Keeping your information safe

At Domain Magnate LLC, we take our responsibility to look after your personal information and privacy seriously. In today’s world, we have all seen a growing trend in cybercrime and security breaches. We have a number of security measures in place to help prevent fraud and cybercrime.

If we become aware that a personal data breach has occurred and is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of our clients, business partners or employees, we will inform them without undue delay.

We educate and train our employees on our information security, fraud prevention and privacy obligations annually. Information Security awareness also forms part of our new employee induction program.

We also educate our employees in identifying potential financial crime and internal fraud; any suspicious activity is reported.

We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time. Where we do so, we will notify those who have a business relationship with us or who are subscribed to our emailing lists directly of the changes, and change the ‘Last updated’ date above.
