Last Updated: 04-25-2017

Small Bee Inc. ("Small Bee") knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting any of the sites offered by Small Bee, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

For questions on the Privacy Notice please contact the Small Bee Support Center.

What Personal Information About Customers Does Small Bee Gather?

Information Provided By You: Small Bee receives and stores any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way. The information you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, providing services (e.g., domain name registration, DNS hosting, domain webmail, digital marketing, printwork design), and communicating with you is held in strict confidence.

Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with Small Bee. For example, like many websites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses our sites. Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform; the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) click stream to, through, and from our website, including date and time. We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

What About Cookies?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser. Besides using the information as described above, Small Bee utilizes cookies to control the flow of the ordering processes by maintaining the state of your online transactions.

Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

Does Small Bee Share the Information It Receives?

Yes, we do share information but only as described below. Otherwise, we will not provide your personal information without your consent.

WHOIS: We are required by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), the organization that assumes responsibility for domain name allocation, to collect information about you during the domain name registration process. This information includes your full name, mailing address, phone number, e-mail address, and, where provided, your facsimile number. ICANN then requires all registrars to make your full name, mailing address, phone number, e-mail address, and, where provided, your facsimile number, as well as the creation and expiration dates of your domain name registration and the name server information associated with your domain name, to the public via an interactive web page and a "port 43" WHOIS service. For the purposes of this Privacy Notice we will refer to this information as your "WHOIS Information." Please note that we may not be able to control how members of the public may use the WHOIS Information.

Advertisers: We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

Partners: We partner with other parties to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services.

Agents: We may engage other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include processing credit card payments, providing marketing assistance, providing customer services, sending postal mail and e-mail to you, removing repetitive information from customer lists, and analyzing data. These persons have access to personal information needed to perform their functions. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information that you provide to Small Bee for any secondary purposes.

Service Providers: We may engage other companies and individuals to perform enhanced services on our behalf. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.

Business Transfer: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or their assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, if Small Bee or all or substantially all of its assets were ever to be acquired, client information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

Compliance: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Services Agreement and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Small Bee, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

How Secure Is Information About Me?

Small Bee works to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input and the information we may send to our agents.

Small Bee has gone to great lengths to ensure your information is securely obtained and held in compliance with a card holder information security initiative. For example, we encrypt your credit card number before it is stored in our database. This ensures that no one may access your credit card from our system.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

What Information Can I Access?

Small Bee gives you access to certain information about you for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information. To view or change this information, login to your account. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.
