PRIVACY / PETITION DETAILS
Your support.
Your privacy choice.
The petition records your name, email and optional Nominet TAG privately for submission to Nominet.
What happens when you sign
The form asks for your name, email, optional TAG, an affirmative consent checkbox and a separate public-name privacy choice. Both checkboxes start unchecked. Consent is required to submit. The selected privacy choice and the version of the submission notice are stored with your details so that the choice can be respected.
Your name, email and any TAG you provide will be included in the petition submitted to Nominet. Signing does not automatically send an email to you or to Nominet. We do not publish your email address.
Private signatures
We have chosen to keep all signing information private for now. No signature names, initials, TAGs, individual submission times or submission totals are currently displayed, regardless of the privacy checkbox. If you do not opt out, we may publish your name and optional TAG as a petition signature on this website at a later date, where the notice you accepted permits it. Email addresses will never be published.
If you opt out by checking “Do not show my signature in public”, we will not publish your name, email address or TAG. No identifying initials or individual submission times will be published either. Your petition details will still be included in the petition submitted to Nominet. Previous submissions retain the privacy choice and notice version accepted at the time; the new wording does not broaden earlier permissions. Signatures are initially unverified. We may contact you by email to confirm your signature; emails are not sent automatically.
Who receives the information
Petition details are stored in a private website database and are intended for submission to Nominet. They are not shared with other third parties except hosting and delivery providers that operate this website. Those providers may process the network information needed to deliver the site and maintain security. Once Nominet receives the petition, its handling of the submitted details is governed by Nominet’s privacy notice and its own retention policies.
Retention
We delete petition details from the active database within 12 months of collection; private backups expire within a further seven days. This website’s retention period does not control Nominet’s copy after a petition has been submitted. Public-name publication, if introduced, must respect the privacy choice recorded with each submission.
Requests about records
The “Something wrong?” form collects your name, email, optional TAG and the information relevant to your request. We use it to handle your request and maintain accurate records. Contact details and messages are kept private; they are not petition signatures and are not included in the petition sent to Nominet. The form does not send email automatically.
Request details and private decision notes are removed from the active database within 12 months, with private backups expiring within a further seven days. Registrar TAG groupings may remain as non-contact record corrections after request details expire. To ask about or correct information you submitted, use the form’s general query option.
Website security and cookies
No advertising, analytics trackers or external fonts are loaded. The petition uses a short-lived security cookie and submission token to prevent forged requests. Limited technical request metadata is processed for security, rate limiting and abuse prevention. Hosting and delivery providers process the information necessary to serve the website.
Published registry observations
We publish domain names, registrar TAG identifiers, registry event times and observation times from selected observed rapid transfers. Registrant names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses are not published. A TAG may be identifiable as a person or business; publication does not imply wrongdoing. See the methodology for the limits of this data.
