This privacy policy describes how the website www.ac.gd («we», «us», «our») collects, uses and protects personal information related to your interactions with this site. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our visitors, partners and contacts.
Personal data we collect
We collect only the minimum data necessary to operate the website and respond to inquiries received through our contact forms:
- Identification data you voluntarily submit: name, email address, phone number, organisation name and country.
- Communication content: the body of the message you send through our contact form.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type and version, language preference, approximate geographical location derived from IP, pages visited, date and duration of visit.
How we use your data
Personal data we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:
- To reply to inquiries you send through the contact form.
- To qualify and follow up on reseller and partnership requests.
- To detect abuse, fraud or attempted unauthorised access to the website.
- To maintain analytical insights aggregated and anonymised at the level of pages and visit patterns.
Domain registration data (the information used to register a .ac.gd domain itself) is handled separately by the authorised reseller through which you purchased the domain. That reseller acts as data controller for that registration data, in accordance with its own privacy policy and the applicable WHOIS / registry policies.
Legal basis for processing
Where the General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) applies, the legal bases on which we rely include your consent (provided when you submit a contact form), the legitimate interest in operating, securing and improving the website, and compliance with legal obligations applicable to the website operator.
Cookies and forms protection
This website uses only essential cookies required for its operation, language detection and the protection of contact forms through Cloudflare Turnstile. No third-party advertising or marketing tracking cookies are deployed.
You can configure your browser to refuse cookies. Some features of the website may behave differently if cookies are disabled.
Disclosure to third parties
We do not sell, trade or rent your personal data to third parties. We may disclose data only to:
- Service providers acting on our behalf (hosting, email delivery, security services) under written confidentiality undertakings.
- Competent authorities where required by applicable law, court order or regulatory request.
- Authorised resellers, but only for the limited purpose of routing a partnership or commercial inquiry that you have specifically initiated.
International transfers
Personal data collected through this website may be processed on infrastructure located in the European Economic Area or in jurisdictions providing an equivalent level of protection. Where transfers outside the EEA are necessary, they are protected by appropriate safeguards such as European Commission approved standard contractual clauses.
Retention
Inquiry data is retained for a maximum of twenty-four months from the date of last interaction, unless an active commercial relationship is established. Technical logs are retained for a maximum of twelve months for security and fraud prevention purposes.
Security measures
We implement technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data, including encrypted transport (HTTPS / TLS) for all data exchanged with the website, server-side firewall and access controls, isolation of personal data on need-to-know basis, and routine review of access logs.
No transmission over the internet is ever guaranteed to be perfectly secure. We continually update our security posture to maintain a strong protection level.
Your rights
You may at any time request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction on the processing of, or portability of your personal data. You also have the right to object to processing for any specific purpose and to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
To exercise these rights, write to [email protected] with sufficient information for us to identify you.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect operational, legal or regulatory changes. The current version is always available on this page. We recommend checking it occasionally to remain aware of our practices.
