Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-11-14

This Privacy Policy explains what information BetterNic ("we", "us") collects when you use betternic.com (the "Site"), how we use it and the choices you have. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the Site.

Information you give us

When you submit a form — for example to list a domain, make an offer, request a broker, join a waitlist, enter a contest, apply for a role, pledge support or contact us — we receive the details you enter, such as your name, email address, phone number (optional), the domain names involved and your message. Form submissions are processed by our hosting provider, Netlify, and delivered to our team. We use this information only to respond to you and to provide the service you asked for.

Information collected automatically

  • Server logs. Our hosting provider records standard technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, for security and reliability.
  • Cookies and similar technologies. We use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. See the Cookie Policy.
  • Local storage. Some tools (for example the Portfolio Tracker and Transfer Checklist) and your cookie choice are saved in your own browser's local storage. This data stays on your device; we never receive it.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, and you can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can choose "Essential only" in our cookie banner to request non-personalised ads.

Tools that contact third-party services

Our domain tools run in your browser and send the domain name you enter directly to public data services so they can answer: registry RDAP servers and rdap.org (registration data), Google Public DNS and Cloudflare DNS (DNS records), and the Internet Archive (website history). Those services receive your IP address and the domain queried under their own privacy policies. We do not log the domains you look up.

Embedded videos

Videos are shown as a thumbnail until you click play; only then does your browser load the player from youtube-nocookie.com, operated by Google.

How we use information

  • To respond to enquiries and deliver the service you request (for example a listing, an introduction to a buyer or a broker request).
  • To send the Daily Brief if you subscribe. Every email has an unsubscribe option.
  • To run contests and evaluate job applications you submit.
  • To keep the Site secure and comply with law.

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate the Site (such as hosting and email delivery), with the other party to a transaction you ask us to facilitate (for example passing your offer to a seller), or when required by law.

Retention

We keep enquiries and form submissions for as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterwards for record-keeping, then delete them. Contest entries are kept until winners are announced plus 12 months. Job applications are kept for up to 24 months unless you ask us to delete them sooner.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under Canada's PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25, the EU/UK GDPR and US state laws such as the CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to withdraw consent and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, use our contact form and choose "Privacy request". We will respond within the time required by law.

International transfers

Our service providers may process data in Canada, the United States and other countries. We rely on their contractual safeguards for such transfers.

Children

The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16. Contests and applications are open only to people aged 18 or over.

Security

The Site is served only over HTTPS and we limit who can access submissions. No method of transmission is perfectly secure, so please don't send sensitive information such as passwords, authorization codes or payment card numbers through our forms.

Changes

We may update this policy. The effective date at the top shows when it last changed.
