2 What information do we collect? How do we use it?
When you register, we need to know your name, e-mail address, Internet Protocol ("IP") address, mailing address, phone number and payment information. This allows us to safely process and fulfill your registration, as well as to notify you of your registration status. We log the IP address for address verification purposes. However, the "IP" address is never used for any other purpose than to process your registration.
WE ONLY USE THE INFORMATION TO PROCESS, CONFIRM AND NOTIFY YOU OF THE SPECIFIC REGISTRATION YOU ARE MAKING.
3 How does Dot TK protect customer information?
When you register your domain name, we use an internal secure network. This network encrypts all information between the servers of Dot TK. Furthermore, all of the customer data we collect is protected against unauthorized access.
