    • Cookies for Banner Rewards Program. To offer BeSearched Subscribers continued savings, BeSearched uses cookies to help monitor the traffic generated from BeSearched banners and logo buttons displayed on BeSearched Subscribers’ websites.
    • Cookies for Subscriber Account Management. For BeSearched Subscribers, BeSearched uses “functional cookies” to store user names for added convenience.

  • Collection by Linked Websites. BeSearched may provide links to some third party websites as a convenience. Please exercise care when visiting linked websites.

Please note that in such cases, you are providing information to a third party and BeSearched has no control over such third party’s use of any information you provide and, therefore, BeSearched has no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the third party that operates a linked website may collect, use, disclose, secure or otherwise treat your personal information. Except as provided herein, BeSearched will not provide any of your personal information to any third parties without your consent.

Passively collected information, such as information collected from or about your device including through the placement or reading of cookies or other tracking technologies is used to provide a customized experience as you use BeSearched’s services.
  • Subscriber Contact/Account Information. The information collected from Subscribers is used to manage each Subscriber’s account (such as for billing and account management purposes) and to promote other products or services that BeSearched believes may be of interest to its Subscribers. BeSearched may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from information that Subscribers provide during registration (such as the total number of Subscribers in a given category, but not their names). As explained in more detail below, BeSearched may in certain instances use this aggregated and non-identifying information to promote advertisements that appear on BeSearched’s website and in connection with its services. Any such aggregated and non-identifying information that BeSearched collects, and any analysis of such information that it produces, is proprietary information of BeSearched.
  • Analytics/Statistics. BeSearched uses information gathered from its website analytics (for example, User IP addresses) to help diagnose problems with BeSearched servers, and to administer and optimize BeSearched’s website. BeSearched also gathers broad demographic information from this data to help improve its website and make your browsing and purchasing experience more responsive, efficient, or enjoyable. Any statistics gathered by BeSearched are proprietary property of BeSearched.
  • Responses to Email Inquiries. When Subscribers send email inquiries to BeSearched, the return email address (and other personal information provided in the inquiry) is used to answer the email inquiry received.
  • Customer Surveys. BeSearched may use the contact information provided in customer surveys to follow up on survey answers. BeSearched may also contact you to highlight the changes BeSearched makes in response to your feedback.
• Sharing of Information
  • Confidentiality. With the exception of other members of the Endurance corporate family and trusted business partners who work with or on behalf of BeSearched, and are subject to specific confidentiality agreements, BeSearched will not provide or sell to any third party your personal information and will keep all Subscriber information confidential, subject to the following:
  • Service Providers. Upon registration for BeSearched services, certain Subscriber information may be transferred to trusted affiliated or unaffiliated third parties that help BeSearched provide certain services or that provide certain services on BeSearched’s behalf. For example, Subscriber information may be transferred to BeSearched’s affiliated registrar, FastDomain (WHOIS Domain Name Registration Information), or to unaffiliated third parties that help BeSearched provide email services or SSL certifications.
  • Co-marketing Activities. Some services are offered or promoted in conjunction with a BeSearched partner or sponsor. For example, BeSearched may partner with other corporate affiliates of Endurance or with trusted non-affiliated partners for co-promotions of a particular product or service. BeSearched may share certain Subscriber contact information but no billing information with BeSearched’s partner or sponsor in order to provide the relevant services or to run the promotion. If BeSearched shares Subscriber information with partners and sponsors, BeSearched requires that they maintain the Subscriber information in confidence, and use the information solely for purposes of providing the services or carrying out the agreed upon promotion.
  • Online Advertisements. BeSearched does not share personally identifiable information about individual users with advertisers. BeSearched may display online advertisements and share aggregated and non-identifying information about Subscribers collected through the registration process or through online surveys and promotions with certain advertisers. This aggregated and non-identifying information may be used to deliver tailored advertisements. For example, an advertiser may tell BeSearched the audience it wants to reach (e.g., males between 25 and 55 years of age) and provide BeSearched with an advertisement tailored to that audience. Based upon the aggregated and non-identifying information collected by BeSearched, BeSearched may then display the advertisement to the intended audience.
  • Customer Surveys. In addition to sharing survey information with service providers confidentially as described above, BeSearched may share aggregated, non-personally identifying information obtained from customer surveys within the Endurance corporate family or with third parties.
  • Law Enforcement. BeSearched will respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes, and will utilize Subscriber information as necessary to establish or exercise BeSearched’s legal rights or defend against legal claims. Additionally, BeSearched will share information to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations or suspected violations of BeSearched’s Terms of Service, or as otherwise required by law.
  • Domain Registration. In certain jurisdictions or pursuant to the rules of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”) or certain registries, Domain Name Registration Information has to be made available and accessible to the public through a “WHOIS” search. The WHOIS database is a publicly accessible database that lists the Domain Name Registration Information for a particular domain name, the name server(s) to which the domain name points, and the domain name’s creation and expiration date. The Domain Name Registration Information you provide is hosted by BeSearched or a third party service provider and is made available to the public through WHOIS searches. BeSearched may deposit your Domain Name Registration Information with a third-party escrow provider to comply with ICANN requirements. At times, Subscribers may receive solicitations that result from searches of the publicly available WHOIS database by other companies or individuals. Any such solicitations or SPAM do not come from BeSearched and BeSearched does not control the use of WHOIS information by third parties.
  • Domain Privacy. When BeSearched is threatened with suit by a third party, or any other legal action is brought to BeSearched’s attention involving BeSearched based on the anonymity of a domain name, BeSearched may seek assurance from you, the customer, concerning your promise to indemnify BeSearched and written confirmation that you have contacted the complainant and made your contact information available to the complainant. Failure to promptly provide these assurances may be considered by BeSearched to be a breach of your agreement with BeSearched and may result in deactivation of your domain name and disclosure of your contact information so that any allegations of infringement or other wrongdoing may be directly resolved between you and the complainant.
