What we collect, what we never ask for, who receives your data and how to reach us about it.

**Quick answer — What does DotAlmanac do with my data?**

As of 29 October 2026, **DotAlmanac** collects 1 email address per domain, required, verified and kept private, and no ID document, selfie or ID number. Searched names are not logged. We release the data we hold only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case.

## 1. Who is responsible for your data

DotAlmanac is a domain extension guide and registrar: compare every extension, then register it with no KYC and pay in crypto. DomaineGoat LLC, incorporated in Panama, runs DotAlmanac and is responsible for your data. Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner. Write to support@dotalmanac.com about any question in this policy.

## 2. What we collect

- **An email address for each domain.** It is required, verified and kept private, and it is the only contact data we hold. the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days).
- **Domains and settings**: your domains, their DNS records, forwarding rules, renewal choices and orders.
- **Top-up records**: which coin and network you used, how much you sent and the transaction hash. Anyone can read a BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL or LTC transaction on its blockchain. A Monero transaction hides the sender and the amount from public explorers, but this record still ties it to your account, its orders, IP addresses and the transaction hash you declared.
- **Security data** needed to protect the client area, kept no longer than that purpose requires.

## 3. What we never ask for

- identity documents of any kind (passport, ID card, driving licence);
- photos of your face or video calls;
- national, tax or social security numbers;
- bank or card details: we take crypto only;
- your wallet's private keys or recovery phrase.

We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat.

## 4. Domain searches

The names you type in the search box are not logged. To answer, the server asks the registry's RDAP server first, then a commercial WHOIS service for extensions without a usable RDAP server. That service receives the name only, never your IP address. Each answer is cached for 10 minutes per name, without any link to you. See [how to check if a domain is available](https://dotalmanac.com/how-to-check-if-a-domain-is-available/ "How do I check if a domain name is available?").

## 5. Why we use your data

Your data serves one purpose: running your domains. That covers registration, renewal and transfer, DNS and forwarding, crediting top-ups, support, and ICANN duties like the email check. Your data is never sold, and it is not used for advertising.

## 6. Who receives your data

- **Our ICANN-accredited registrar partner** receives the registrant record of each domain, built from your verified email.
- **The registry** of the extension gets that record when it stores registrant data. The .com and .net registries (Verisign) are thin registries: they receive no registrant contact data.
- **The public WHOIS and RDAP record** shows what the registry and the registrar publish. WHOIS privacy costs nothing wherever the registry permits it, and each registry decides what remains public.
- **With [Domain protection](https://dotalmanac.com/what-is-domain-protection/ "What is domain protection, and do I need it?")**, DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record. The registrar partner and the registry receive the company's details, and DomaineGoat LLC holds only your email.

## 7. When we disclose data

We release the data we hold only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. Sending a complaint to our abuse desk gives nobody access to your data.

## 8. How long we keep it, and your requests

Account and domain data stay as long as the account or the domains exist. After that, only what ICANN rules or the law require is kept, for the period they set.

To see, correct or delete your data, write to support@dotalmanac.com from the verified email of one of your domains. Deletion has one limit: a registered domain keeps its verified email for as long as it exists.

## 9. Changes

This policy changes when ICANN rules, registry rules or our services change. The date at the top of this page identifies the current version. Prices are on the [pricing page](https://dotalmanac.com/pricing/ "How much does a domain name cost per year?"); the rules of use are in the [terms of service](https://dotalmanac.com/legal/terms/ "Terms of service").
