This is due to legal requirements:

The data processing is based on the legal provisions of §96 (3) TKG and Art. 6 (1) lit. a (consent) and/or Art. 6 (1) lit. b (necessary for the performance of the contract) of the EU GDPR.

Required Data Sharing (ICANN Privacy Policy Model) www.icann.org/resources/pages/model-privacy-policy-2012-02-25-en
If the customer registers a domain name, he agrees that the data transmitted by the customer to ISP for purposes of registration and maintenance of the domain name and according to the regulations of ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) are passed on by ISP to third parties, for example to the central registries (domain registries) of the respective gTLDs(generic Top Level Domains) or ccTLDs (country code Top Level Domains), to operators and users of the central Internet Whois databases responsible for your domain name, to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) as technical coordinating body for the Internet, to providers, other interested parties via Whois queries on ISP’s websites, “whois” service providers as well as registrars appointed by ICANN as a substitute, if applicable. Information provided by the client to ISP in connection with domain name issues may be shared with ISP staff and consultants and – upon request – with ICANN.

With the entry into force of the EU GDPR, the operators of the aforementioned Whois databases are subject to these strict data protection guidelines. Public access to the complete domain contact data is therefore no longer possible. The data transfer and storage remains unchanged necessary for the fulfillment of the contract.

Trusted Shops® Seal of Approval

In order to display our Trusted Shops seal of approval and any ratings collected, as well as to offer Trusted Shops services (buyer protection) for buyers after an order, the Trusted Shops trust badge is integrated on this website.

This serves to protect our legitimate interests in marketing our offer, which outweigh our interests in the context of a balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f GDPR. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are an offer of Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne.

When the Trustbadge is retrieved from the servers of Trusted Shops GmbH, their web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, your IP address, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval. This access data is not evaluated and is automatically overwritten no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

Further personal data is only transferred to Trusted Shops if you consent to this, decide to use Trusted Shops products after completing an order, or have already registered to use them. In this case, the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops applies.

Data use for postal advertising

We reserve the right to send our customers promotional information by mail on an ad hoc basis (e.g. when new domain extensions are introduced).

Our invoices may be accompanied by promotional information and information about news of existing services. If you do not wish to receive such information, please feel free to let us know.

Cookies use

Cookies enable website operators to provide interactive functions, but also to uniquely identify users. When you visit our online offer, a cookie of the web analytics software Matomo is set on your device. This allows us to evaluate visitor flows and improve our still young online offering https://chilly.domains. If you use interactive functions (e.g. the domain whois query, our contact forms, our feedback form or one of the registration options), another cookie is stored on your device to process your request. Session information is stored in this cookie. You will be informed about the cookie storage when using such functions. This cookie information is automatically deleted at the end of the browser session (i.e. usually when you close or restart your browser). Likewise, we store a cookie on your device when you log in to the password-protected customer area to manage your services. This is technically necessary to ensure the authorization of your accesses comfortably for the duration of your visit in the customer area. The saved cookies store the session information and the user interface language you have chosen. This cookie information is automatically deleted at the end of the browser session (i.e. usually when you close or restart your browser). When visiting our publicly accessible website and customer area, you will be made aware of the storage of these cookies. If you take note of this cookie notice, another cookie will be stored on your device for this purpose, so that you will no longer be shown this notice in the future and will not have to confirm it again. In the settings of your browser you have the possibility to configure the handling of cookies. Thus, it is usually possible to delete all cookies at the end of the browser session. For more information about cookie settings, refer to your browser’s manual, documentation, or online help.

Matomo

In order to improve our website and offers, we perform web analytics tests. For the tests, we use the open source software Matomo, which differs significantly from the common web analysis systems. Matomo is operated exclusively on our servers. Privacy-friendly anonymized personal data of our visitors is only stored on our own systems. The data will not be passed on to third parties. It is not possible to identify an individual user on the basis of the data collected. To ensure the anonymity of our visitors, we use IP anonymization. For these reasons, tracking is also possible without the active consent of the user.

Matomo uses cookies. This collects the following data: anonymized IP address, referrer URL, operating system, browser type/version, and date and time of the server request. The collected data is used to detect and correct errors, to optimize the user-friendliness of our website and as a basis for the further development of our online offers. We do not profile our visitors. By not using analysis service providers, we ensure that visiting our website does not lead to unwanted profiling by third parties.

Our presence on social media such as Facebook

Our presence on social networks serves to improve active communication with our customers and prospects. We thus also provide information about our services and ongoing promotional offers on these social platforms.
When visiting these online presences, your data may be automatically collected and stored for market research and advertising purposes. Collected data is pseudonymized and processed in so-called usage profiles. These profiles can be used, for example, to serve ads inside and outside the platforms you visit that are more likely to match your interests than regular ads. Cookies are usually used on your device for this purpose. An identifier is stored in these cookies, which enables an evaluation of visitor behavior and user interests. This serves according to Art. 6 par. 1 lit. f. DSGVO to protect our legitimate interests in an optimized presentation of our offer and effective communication with our customers and interested parties, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests. If you are asked by the respective social media platform operators for consent (agreement) to the data processing, e.g. by means of a checkbox, the legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Insofar as the aforementioned social media platforms have their headquarters in the USA, the following applies: For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the European Commission. This goes back to the EU-US Privacy Shield. A current certificate for the respective company can be viewed here.
For detailed information on the processing and use of data by the providers on their sites, as well as a contact option and your rights and settings options in this regard to protect your privacy, such as opt-out options, please refer to the privacy notices of the providers linked below.

Your rights and contact options for questions regarding the privacy policy

As a person affected by data processing, you are generally entitled to the rights of information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation and objection in accordance with the EU Data Protection Regulation. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in some way, you can complain to the competent supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have about our privacy policy.
