Who handles your data?
Hostingwalk, KvK 56871244, Netherlands. Contact [email protected] for privacy questions or access, correction or deletion requests.
Checking a domain
When you submit a search, we send the domain name and selected extensions to our domain supplier, Openprovider, to check availability. No account or contact details are required for a search. Your browser connects to Hostingwalk, not directly to the supplier.
Search results may be held in a small, temporary memory cache for up to 30 seconds of reuse. Expired entries are discarded on subsequent searches or a service restart. We do not write searched names to the enquiry database or application logs. Openprovider processes the names under its own privacy policy. Clicking a domain enquiry email link adds the name to a draft in your mail app.
Website measurements
We count daily page views and actions such as domain searches, clicks to the shop, and enquiry form starts. These counters do not include the names you search. We distinguish direct, search-engine, external and internal referrers without storing full referrer URLs.
We use no analytics cookies or persistent visitor identifiers. Browser measurements respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Aggregate counters are retained for up to 400 days. They cannot establish unique visitors, individual journeys or completed sales.
Enquiries
Our Dutch enquiry form stores your name, email, topic, message, optional provider and website, an internal source path, timestamp and reference. Domain enquiries also store the requested domain and whether you request registration or transfer. We use these details to respond and prepare a possible service. Enquiries are retained for up to 180 days; submitting one does not create an order or subscribe you to marketing emails. See the Dutch enquiry privacy notice for details.
Security
The service temporarily uses your IP address to limit abuse. Its rate-limit database stores a keyed hash, not a readable IP address. Technical webserver logs may be retained separately for security and operation. Do not put private information in a domain search or send passwords, identity documents or transfer codes through the enquiry form.
