This Privacy Policy explains how FXRM Services Ltd collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. By using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.
The data controller responsible for your personal data is:
We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with our services. The categories below outline the personal data we may collect and process.
When you create an account or purchase our services, we collect:
As an ICANN-accredited domain registrar, we are required to collect and maintain accurate registrant data, including:
When you visit our website or use our services, we automatically collect:
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
Under the UK GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. We rely on the following bases depending on the nature of the processing:
Processing that is necessary for the performance of our contract with you, including delivering hosting and domain registration services, managing your account, processing payments, and providing customer support.
Processing that is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights. This includes maintaining the security of our infrastructure, detecting and preventing fraud, improving our services, and analysing how our website and services are used.
Processing that is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, including ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement requirements, Nominet terms and conditions for .uk domain registrations, retention of financial records for tax and accounting purposes (HMRC requirements), and responding to lawful requests from law enforcement or regulatory authorities.
Where we rely on your consent, such as for sending marketing emails, placing non-essential cookies, or processing data for purposes not covered by the bases above. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe mechanism provided.
As an ICANN-accredited domain registrar, FXRM is required to collect and maintain accurate registrant data for all domain names registered through our services. This section explains how domain-related personal data is handled.
Under our Registrar Accreditation Agreement with ICANN, we are obligated to collect registrant contact data, verify the accuracy of that data, and provide access to certain registration data via the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) and WHOIS services. We are also required to participate in data escrow programmes, ensuring that domain registration data is securely deposited with an ICANN-approved escrow agent.
When you register a domain name, your registrant data is shared with the relevant registry operator (e.g. Verisign for .com/.net, Nominet for .uk, Identity Digital for various new gTLDs). This sharing is necessary to complete the domain registration and is a requirement of the domain name system. Each registry operator has its own data processing obligations and privacy policies.
Where permitted by the relevant registry operator, we offer WHOIS privacy and proxy services that replace your personal contact information in public WHOIS/RDAP records with generic contact details. Please note that even when privacy services are enabled, the underlying registrant data is still maintained by us and may be disclosed in response to lawful requests or as required by ICANN policies.
We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients, only to the extent necessary for the purposes described in this policy:
We do not sell your personal data. We never have and never will sell your personal information to third parties for marketing or any other purposes.
As part of the domain registration process, your registrant data may need to be transferred to registry operators, ICANN, or data escrow providers located outside the United Kingdom. Where such transfers occur, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including:
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. The specific retention periods are as follows:
Retained for the duration of your active account plus 6 years after closure, as required for legal, tax, and accounting obligations under HMRC guidelines.
Retained in accordance with ICANN requirements, which mandate that registration data be maintained for the life of the domain registration and for a period after its expiration or transfer, as specified in the Registrar Accreditation Agreement.
Retained for 90 days for security monitoring, troubleshooting, and fraud detection purposes, after which they are automatically purged.
Retained until you withdraw your consent. You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us at privacy@fxrm.com.
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@fxrm.com. We will respond to your request within one month.
We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by sending you an email notification or displaying a prominent notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your data.
