Web In A Box respects and is committed to protecting your privacy. Our Privacy Policy details why and when we collect your personal information and how we use it. It also explains under what circumstances we disclose your information to third parties and the security measures we take to protect your privacy.

Collection of Personal Details

Web In A Box collects your details when you submit those details to us either online (via our websites, or agent websites), or by fax, post or email.

These details are stored within our secure database system and submitted to the relevant registry when you register or transfer a domain name to Web In A Box. The details collected include your full name, address, phone and fax numbers and email address. We also collect your payment details (including but not limited to credit card details).

Use of Personal Details

ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is the organization that develops and governs domain name policy. As part of the domain name policy, ICANN requires that accredited domain name Registrars must make personal information relating to a domain name available viaA the publicly accessible WHOIS database. Consequently Web In A Box is not able to control how members of the public may use this information.

Web In A Box will use your personal details to enable us to provide domain registration services. This includes contacting you when you apply for a domain name, or at any time during the license period of your domain name, to obtain relevant information in regards to your application, or to advise you of relevant information regarding your license (including renewal dates and system changes that may affect your communications with us).

We may also use your personal details to contact you to discuss additional products and services that Web In A Box offers. Your details could be used to measure and assess our customer service, and analyse customer purchasing preferences.

Our relationships with such third party service providers are governed by our contracts with them. Those service providers are required to hold your personal information strictly confidential.

Accuracy

You may access and update the personal information we provide to the registries in respect of your domain name licence at any time.

Changes

WHOIS

When a domain name is registered, certain information is collected for use on the WHOIS service. The WHOIS service allows internet users to query a domain name to find out the identity and contact details of the registrant. The public WHOIS service is a standard feature of domain name systems around the world. Please see auDA’s WHOIS policy at http://www.auda.org.au/whois-policy which sets out auDA’s guidelines on the collection, disclosure and use of WHOIS data.
