Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Scope

This Privacy Policy describes how the Domain Stocks website collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data provided by visitors or generated through website access. The website presents general informational content related to Stocks and capital market terminology and does not offer personalized services or transactional features. Information is processed in accordance with principles of transparency, data minimization, and purpose limitation. Personal data is handled only for the specific reasons described in this Policy and is not used for unrelated purposes. The website does not sell or share personal information and does not use targeted advertising as defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

2. Categories of Personal Data Collected

The website may process three general categories of personal data: technical data, information submitted through the Contact form, and cookie-related data. Technical data includes device type, browser version, IP address, pages accessed, and timestamps generated automatically through standard protocols. Contact form data may include a visitor’s name, email address, and message content. Cookie-related data may be used to support navigation, functionality, or optional analytics, depending on consent. No financial, sensitive, or account-based information is collected.

3. Sources of Personal Data

Personal data is obtained from two primary sources: information provided directly by visitors and information generated automatically through website access. Directly provided data includes optional submissions through the Contact form. Automatically generated data is produced through browser interactions, server logs, and cookies when enabled. The website does not obtain personal data from external commercial sources. All collected data is limited to what is necessary for communication and basic site functionality.

4. Purposes of Data Processing

Personal data is processed only for clearly defined purposes related to communication and website operation. These purposes include reviewing and responding to inquiries submitted through the Contact form. Technical data is used to maintain website security, functionality, and troubleshooting. Cookie-related data may be used to support essential site features or non-identifying analytics when consent is provided. No personal data is used to make automated decisions, profiles, or behavioral evaluations.

5. Legal Bases for Processing

Two primary legal bases apply to personal data processing on the website: consent and legitimate interest. Consent is required when visitors submit a Contact form or accept optional cookies through the cookie banner. Legitimate interest applies to essential technical operations necessary for stable website performance and cybersecurity. Visitors may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of previous processing. Personal data is not processed for marketing or promotional purposes.

6. Data Retention Practices

Personal data is retained only for the duration necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Contact form submissions may be stored temporarily for internal recordkeeping and reference. Technical and cookie-related data may be retained for operational continuity and system diagnostics. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or de-identified. Retention periods remain limited and proportionate to the nature of the information.

7. Data Security Measures

Technical and organizational measures are applied to protect personal data from accidental loss, unauthorized access, or alteration. These measures may include secure server configurations, restricted access controls, and encrypted transmission where appropriate. Internal guidelines govern how data is handled, stored, and accessed. While no system can be entirely risk-free, the website seeks to maintain a reasonable level of security consistent with the type of data processed. Visitors are encouraged to avoid sending sensitive information when communicating with the website.

8. Data Sharing and International Transfers

The website does not sell, rent, or share personal data with commercial organizations. Personal data may be disclosed only to service providers that support hosting, infrastructure, and maintenance functions. These providers process data solely based on the instructions of the website operator. If personal data is transferred outside the United States, reasonable safeguards are applied to maintain an appropriate level of protection. Transfers occur only when necessary for the operation of the website.

9. Individual Rights

Depending on applicable state privacy laws, visitors may have rights to access, correct, delete, or request a copy of their personal data. Visitors may also request limitations on certain processing activities, where appropriate. All requests can be submitted through the contact details listed in this Policy. Identity verification may be required to prevent unauthorized access or modification. Visitors may withdraw previously granted consent at any time.

10. Data Handling Roles

The website operator functions as the controller responsible for determining how personal data is processed. External service providers supporting hosting or technical operations may act as processors. Processors handle data only according to instructions and must maintain appropriate safeguards. Data is not used by processors for independent purposes. All processing activities follow the principles and limitations outlined in this Privacy Policy.

11. Children’s Information

The website is not directed to individuals under 18 years of age. Children under 16 should not submit personal data without the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. If the website becomes aware that personal data has been submitted by a child without appropriate involvement, reasonable steps will be taken to delete such information. Parents or guardians may contact the website using the details above if they believe data has been submitted without authorization. The website does not knowingly collect or store children’s personal data.
