Overview
This Privacy Statement explains what information WebYield ("we", "us") collects when you use www.webyield.net, our free tools and the products sold through our storefront, and how we use and protect it. By using this site you agree to this statement.
Information Sharing
We will not share your information with third parties without your express permission, except as described in this statement, such as with service providers who help us run the site and deliver products, or when required by law.
Information Collection and Use
When you place an order, create an account or contact us, we collect the details you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number and billing information. For some services, such as certain domain registrations, additional information may be required by the registry. We use this information to process orders, provide support, suggest relevant products, improve our services and send you updates and promotions (you can opt out at any time). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites we link to.
Free Tools
Our free tools (IP Lookup, WHOIS Lookup, DNS Lookup, Domain Generator, Keyword Generator, Link Analyzer and others) do not require an account. What you type into a tool is used only to perform that lookup. To return results, some lookups are sent to trusted third-party services, including public DNS resolvers (Google Public DNS and Cloudflare), IP geolocation services, domain and IP registries (RDAP/WHOIS) and OpenStreetMap for maps. Text you paste into the Keyword Generator is analyzed in your browser and never uploaded. Recent searches may be saved in your own browser (local storage) for convenience; you can clear them at any time. To prevent abuse, our servers temporarily record your IP address for rate-limiting purposes (normally for less than an hour).
Cookies and Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site, for example which pages and tools are popular. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as pages visited, approximate location and device type. You can opt out with Google's browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Our storefront also uses cookies for shopping carts, identifying returning customers and preventing fraud. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features may not work.
Security
We use appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your information against loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure or alteration.
Email Communication
We use email to confirm orders, send information you request, answer your questions and share service updates. Messages you send us may be kept or discarded after review.
Third-Party Service Providers
We work with providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, order fulfillment, hosting, advertising and customer management. They receive only the information they need and are not permitted to use it for any other purpose.
Contests and Surveys
Taking part in any contest or survey is voluntary. Information collected is used to notify winners and improve or personalize our services.
Targeted Advertisements
Offers we show you may be based on the products you already have. To learn about choices regarding interest-based advertising, visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
Tell-a-Friend
If you use a tell-a-friend feature, we collect your friend's name and email address only to send a one-time invitation. Your friend may ask us to remove this information.
Account Termination
If your account is closed, we may retain some information as required for legal, dispute-resolution or enforcement purposes, but it will not be actively used.
Updating Your Information
You can update your account details and communication preferences at any time by logging in to your account.
Children's Privacy
Our site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Legal Compliance
We cooperate with law enforcement and legal authorities and may disclose information when required by law.
Changes to This Statement
We may update this statement from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page, and for significant changes we will notify you by email or with a notice on the site at least 30 days before they take effect.
