Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how Proximadomains handles personal information collected through the website and account features.

Proximadomains is a general-audience service. It is not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 may not create an account or provide personal information through the service.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the service, we may collect:

• Account information: when you sign in with Google, we receive basic profile information such as your Google account identifier, email address, display name, and profile image.
• Favorites and ratings: the names or domains you save, your star ratings, and related timestamps.
• Usage and analytics data: page views, searches, selections, filters, favorites activity, sign-in events, and related metadata.
• Technical information: browser user agent, device type, viewport size, locale, timezone, referrer, and persistent or session identifiers used for analytics and account sessions.
• Advertising and monetization data: when ads are displayed, advertising partners may receive information such as IP address, browser and device details, approximate location, referrer, ad impressions, and ad interactions, and may set or read cookies or similar identifiers subject to their own policies.
• Admin-access information: whether your email matches an address in the admin access list.

3. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• operate, secure, and improve the service;
• let you sign in, stay signed in, and manage your account;
• save and show your favorites and ratings back to you;
• measure product usage and understand which searches, filters, and features are being used;
• manage admin-only access; and
• comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

4. Cookies, Local Storage, And Similar Technologies

We use an HTTP-only session cookie to keep signed-in users authenticated. We also use browser storage to hold first-party analytics identifiers, including a persistent visitor token in local storage and a session token in session storage. These identifiers help us distinguish repeat visits from one browser and understand session activity inside the site.

When third-party advertising or monetization scripts are present, those partners may also set or read cookies, pixels, local storage, or similar technologies to render ads, limit repetition, measure performance, detect fraud, or tailor advertising under their own privacy terms.

5. Analytics And Search Behavior

We record first-party analytics about how the service is used, including page views, searches, selected names, dataset usage, device type, and similar product signals. We use that information to understand which parts of the service are useful, confusing, or heavily used.

Searches and interactions may be associated with your account when you are signed in.

6. Advertising And Monetization

We may use third-party advertising or monetization partners to display sponsored content or advertisements on the service. Those partners may use contextual information and technical identifiers to choose, deliver, cap, and measure ads. We may also receive reporting about ad impressions, clicks, and related performance.

We do not control every ad creative, cookie, or data practice used by third-party ad partners. Their collection and use of information is governed by their own notices and policies.

7. When We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information:

• with service providers or infrastructure providers that help us host, secure, or operate the site;
• with Google as part of the Google Sign-In flow and related security checks;
• with advertising, monetization, fraud-prevention, and measurement partners when needed to render ads or sponsored content and report on their performance;
• if required by law, legal process, or a good-faith need to protect rights, safety, or the service; or
• as part of a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, financing, or asset sale.

Favorites are not public by default.

8. Data Retention

We keep account and favorites data for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain records of policy acceptance, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal obligations. Analytics data may be retained for product, security, and operational analysis.

9. Your Choices

You can choose not to sign in, remove favorites, and sign out at any time. You can also clear browser storage locally, although that may reset analytics identifiers or parts of the experience tied to your browser session.

If you want to request deletion of your account information or have a privacy question, contact admin@proximadomains.com.

10. California And Similar Disclosures

We do not currently sell personal information. We may, however, allow third-party advertising or monetization partners to collect technical data and identifiers through our site for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, or related purposes subject to their own policies. Our privacy disclosures are intended to be conspicuously available to site visitors, including California residents.

11. Do Not Track

At this time, the service does not respond differently to browser Do Not Track signals. Third-party services, including sign-in, analytics, and advertising providers, may process information under their own policies when their scripts or services are used.

12. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

13. Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will publish a new version and effective date. Signed-in users may be asked to review and accept the updated version before continuing to use account features.
