Privacy Policy
Last updated:
This policy explains what personal information this website, ForceDomains.com, collects and what we do with it. ForceDomains.com is operated by Link Socially LLC, doing business as Force Domains, in Gilbert, Arizona ("we").
What this policy covers
It covers this website only: its pages, its contact forms and its analytics. When you search for a domain or buy a product, you move to our storefront at secureserver.net, which is operated by GoDaddy.com, LLC. What you do there (your account, your order, your payment and your domain registration details) is governed by the storefront's privacy policy, not this one.
As the reseller, we can see the account and order details you give the storefront in our reseller control center. We use them only to help you and to run our reseller business, and we protect them as our agreement with GoDaddy requires.
What we collect and why
When you write to us
If you use the contact or quote form, we receive your name, your email address, the kind of help you need, your message, the language you want the reply in, and the language of the page. We use them only to answer you and, if you hire us, to do the work. Your message reaches us by email, and we keep it as long as we need it to help you and keep our business records.
To stop spam, the form notes how many seconds it took to send, and keeps a scrambled version (a hash) of your IP address, never the address itself, for one hour to limit sends to five an hour.
When you visit
Our server keeps standard technical logs of each visit (IP address, page, date and browser). We use them for security and troubleshooting, and they are deleted automatically after a while.
When you search or buy
What you type in the domain search and the product you choose are sent to the storefront, together with our reseller number, so the storefront knows you came from Force Domains.
When you use the chat
If you open "Ask a question," your question, the page you are on and the last few messages of that conversation are sent to OpenAI, which writes the answer for us from our own pages. We do not send your name, email address or IP address, and we ask OpenAI not to store the conversation. We keep the questions (without your IP address) for up to 12 months to improve our pages, so please do not type personal details into the chat. To limit use, we keep a scrambled version of your IP address for one hour, as the form does. The chat does not use cookies.
Cookies and analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (from Google) to count visits and see which pages help people, and Microsoft Clarity (from Microsoft) for heatmaps and session recordings that help us improve the pages. Clarity does not record what you type into forms.
- If you accept, Google Analytics and Clarity set their cookies.
- If you reject, or before you choose, no analytics cookies are set and Clarity does not load. Google Analytics may receive cookieless signals (for example, that a page was viewed, with no identifier for you) that Google uses to estimate overall traffic.
- If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a rejection and load neither Google Analytics nor Clarity.
We never turn on advertising storage. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings button at the bottom of every page.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| fd-consent | Force Domains | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected | Always (local storage, not a cookie) |
| fd-form | Force Domains | Counts a form send only once | Only during your visit |
| _ga, _ga_* | Tells visitors apart in Google Analytics | Only if you accept | |
| _clck, _clsk | Microsoft | Groups the pages of one visit in Clarity | Only if you accept |
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information or share it for targeted advertising. We share it only with the companies that help us run this site: our hosting provider, our email provider, OpenAI (only if you use the chat), Google and Microsoft (only if you accept analytics), and GoDaddy when you move to the storefront. We may also disclose it when the law requires.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you, or to stop using it. Depending on where you live, the law may give you other rights; we honor requests from anyone, whatever state they live in. Use the contact form and choose "Another question." For your storefront account details, also see the storefront's privacy policy.
Security
The site runs on HTTPS, and server credentials are kept outside the public pages. No system is perfect, so never send passwords or card details through the form or by email.
Children
This site and our products are for businesses. They are not meant for children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
Changes and contact
If we change this policy, we update the date at the top. For privacy questions, use the contact form. See also our terms.
