Privacy

Privacy Notice

This notice explains how information may be handled when you visit dcedomains.com, use the DCE Domains storefront, perform a domain search, or follow third-party or affiliate links.

Effective date: September 7, 2026

Scope of this notice

This notice primarily covers the DCE Domains main website at dcedomains.com. Some functions, including domain registration, shopping, account creation and checkout, may take place on the DCE Domains GoDaddy-powered storefront at shop.dcedomains.com or on other third-party websites.

When you leave the DCE Domains main site or use a third-party hosted service, that provider may collect and process information under its own privacy policy and terms. DCE Domains does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.

Information that may be processed when you visit

Like most websites, the infrastructure that delivers and protects DCE Domains may process standard technical information associated with a web request. This can include an IP address, date and time, requested URL, referring page, browser or device information, network or security information, and similar server or traffic data.

The main DCE Domains website is a static website and currently does not provide DCE-hosted user accounts or native payment processing.

Domain searches

When you use the live domain-search feature on dcedomains.com, the domain name you enter is sent to the GoDaddy-powered reseller search service so availability, pricing and alternatives can be returned. The search provider and the website infrastructure may process the search term and related request metadata as necessary to provide and secure that service.

Hosting and security providers

HostGator

DCE Domains uses HostGator for origin web hosting. HostGator may process server access, request, device and security logs as part of operating and protecting the hosting service.

Cloudflare

DCE Domains uses Cloudflare for DNS, content delivery, performance and security services. Because website traffic passes through Cloudflare, Cloudflare may process information such as IP addresses, traffic-routing data, system or network information, requested resources and security signals to deliver and protect the site.

GoDaddy-powered reseller services

The DCE Domains storefront, domain availability service, registration workflow, shopping cart and checkout use GoDaddy reseller infrastructure. Information you enter into those hosted services may include account details, contact information, domain-registration information and payment information required to complete a transaction.

Payment details are entered and processed on the provider's hosted checkout rather than on the static DCE Domains main website. The provider's privacy policy and contractual terms apply to information collected through those services.

Affiliate links and other third-party services

Some links on DCE Domains may be affiliate or referral links. If you follow one of those links, the destination provider or an affiliate-network provider may use referral identifiers, cookies or similar technologies to attribute the visit or an eligible purchase to DCE Domains. DCE Domains may receive commission or referral reporting as a result.

Third-party registrars, marketplaces, hosting providers and other linked services have their own privacy practices. Review the applicable provider's policy before submitting personal information.

Cookies and similar technologies

The main static DCE Domains site does not currently intentionally deploy advertising or behavioral-analytics cookies. Cloudflare, security functions, the GoDaddy-powered storefront, affiliate networks or other third-party services may use cookies or similar technical storage when their services are used.

If DCE Domains later adds analytics, advertising pixels, marketing tools or other tracking technologies to the main website, this notice will be updated as appropriate and any consent or opt-out controls required by applicable law will be provided.

How information may be used

  • To deliver website pages, domain-search results and requested services.
  • To operate, secure, troubleshoot and improve the website.
  • To detect abuse, fraud, attacks or other security problems.
  • To measure or administer affiliate and referral relationships.
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce applicable terms.

When information may be shared

Information may be processed or shared with service providers that support website hosting, security, domain searches, registration, checkout or other requested services; with third-party providers you choose to visit or use; and when disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or security, or respond to lawful process.

Sale or sharing of personal information

DCE Domains does not intentionally operate a business model based on selling visitor personal information for money. Some affiliate or referral technologies can be treated as a “sale” or “sharing” under certain privacy laws depending on how they are implemented. If DCE Domains uses technologies in a manner that creates legally required opt-out rights, the site will provide the required choices.

Data retention

DCE Domains retains information under its direct control only for as long as reasonably necessary for operational, security, business or legal purposes. Hosting, security, reseller, affiliate and other third-party providers determine retention for information they process under their own policies and agreements.

Your choices and privacy rights

You can use browser settings to manage cookies and similar storage, and you may choose to visit a provider directly instead of using an affiliate link. Privacy rights concerning access, correction, deletion or other controls vary by jurisdiction and depend on which organization controls the information.

For information held by a third-party storefront, registrar, marketplace, hosting provider or affiliate service, contact that provider directly. For a privacy request concerning the DCE Domains main site, use any DCE Domains contact method published on this website or associated DCE storefront. If a dedicated privacy contact address is added, this notice will be updated.

Children

DCE Domains and the reseller services promoted through it are intended for business and professional use and are not directed to children.

Security

DCE Domains uses measures intended to reduce website risk, including HTTPS, Cloudflare security services and a static-site architecture. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this notice

DCE Domains may update this notice when website features, providers, legal requirements or data practices change. The effective date at the top of the page will be revised when a material update is published.
