These services may require information such as your name, contact information, billing information, payment information, or account information.
Where payment information is entered directly on a third-party platform, Selective Names generally does not receive or store your complete credit card, debit card, or banking credentials.
Information required to coordinate or complete a domain transaction may be exchanged with the relevant transaction provider where necessary.

When you leave SelectiveNames.com and visit a third-party website, the information you provide to that third party is governed by its own privacy policy, terms, and security practices.
For example, if you select a button directing you to GoDaddy to purchase a domain, information you subsequently provide on GoDaddy’s website will be handled according to GoDaddy’s applicable privacy policy and terms.
Selective Names does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security, content, availability, or practices of independent third-party websites.
