Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Domain-ate ("we", "us", "our") is an AI-powered domain name generation service available at domain-ate.com. We are the data controller for personal information collected through our website and services.

If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us at hello@domain-ate.com.

2. Information We Collect

Information you give us directly

• Waitlist sign-ups: your email address and any optional information you provide when joining the waitlist.
• Contact form submissions: your name, email address, and the content of your message.
• Tool usage: the keywords and prompts you enter into the Domain-ate generator.

Information collected automatically

• Usage data: pages visited, time spent, clicks, and browser/device type — collected via analytics tools to help us improve the product.
• Log data: IP address, browser type, referring URL, and timestamps — collected automatically by our hosting infrastructure.
• Cookies: we use essential cookies to make the site function correctly and, where you consent, analytics cookies to understand traffic patterns. See Section 6 for details.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate and improve the Domain-ate service
• Send you updates about Domain-ate (waitlist communications, product news) — only if you've opted in
• Respond to your messages and support requests
• Understand how people use the site so we can make it better
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Consent — for marketing emails and non-essential cookies
• Legitimate interests — for security monitoring, fraud prevention, and service analytics
• Contract — to deliver the service you've signed up for
• Legal obligation — where required by applicable law

5. Data Sharing

We use a small number of trusted third-party service providers to operate Domain-ate. Each is bound by a data processing agreement and may only use your data to deliver their service to us:

• Vercel — website hosting and deployment
• Tally — waitlist and contact form submissions
• Analytics providers — aggregate, anonymised traffic analytics

We may also disclose information where required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Domain-ate or its users.

6. Cookies

We use the following categories of cookies:

• Essential cookies: required for basic site functionality. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors use the site. We ask for your consent before setting these.

You can manage cookies in your browser settings at any time. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the site.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Waitlist email addresses are deleted promptly if you unsubscribe. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Object to or restrict our processing of your data
• Receive a copy of your data in a portable format
• Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@domain-ate.com. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Transfers

Our service providers may process data outside your country of residence. Where this involves transferring data out of the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (such as Standard Contractual Clauses).

11. Children's Privacy

Domain-ate is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top. Significant changes will be notified via email to registered users or through a notice on the website.
