Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Farming Domains ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and secure information when you visit farmingdomains.com, farmingdomains.com.au, or contact us.

Who we are

Farming Domains is an Australian domain name trading and development business operated by Ian Piggott. Our Australian Business Number (ABN) is 66 786 225 704. Our postal address is PO Box 6679, Tweed Heads South NSW 2486, Australia.

Information we collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Contact and enquiry information — when you submit our contact form, including your name, email address, domain of interest (if provided), and message content.
  • Technical and usage information — such as browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, date and time of access, and similar server or analytics logs.
  • Communications — records of correspondence relating to domain enquiries, support, or business matters.
  • Preference information — such as your light/dark theme choice stored locally in your browser (localStorage).

We generally collect personal information directly from you. We do not routinely collect sensitive information (such as health or financial account details) through this website. We do not request payment card details on this website; marketplace purchases (for example via Sedo) are handled on those platforms under their own policies.

How we use your information

We use personal information to:

  • respond to domain enquiries, pricing questions, and business correspondence;
  • facilitate domain sale discussions and related administration;
  • operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website and services;
  • detect, investigate, and prevent spam, abuse, or unauthorised activity;
  • comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes; and
  • send information about our services where permitted and, where required, with your consent.

If you do not provide information we reasonably require, we may be unable to respond to your enquiry or provide certain services.

Formspree and third-party service providers

Website enquiries are submitted via Formspree, a third-party form processing service. When you use our contact form, your submission is transmitted to Formspree and forwarded to us. Formspree may process and store data on servers located outside Australia, including in the United States.

We also interact with or link to other third parties, including:

  • Sedo — when you follow links to domain listings hosted on the Sedo marketplace;
  • Hosting and infrastructure providers — that store and deliver our website;
  • Font delivery — we load the Inter typeface from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com), which may receive technical data such as your IP address when the font files are requested; and
  • Portfolio and lander websites — operated on separate domains linked from our portfolio and domain listing pages.

Each third party has its own privacy policy and practices. We encourage you to review their policies before providing personal information on their platforms.

Disclosure of information

We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

  • service providers that assist us (such as Formspree, hosting, or email delivery);
  • professional advisers (lawyers, accountants) under confidentiality obligations;
  • regulators, courts, or law enforcement when required or authorised by law;
  • a successor owner if our business or assets are transferred; or
  • protect our rights, property, safety, or that of others.

Cookies and similar technologies

This website uses browser localStorage to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode). We do not use this site to place advertising or third-party tracking cookies. Standard web server logs may still record technical data when you visit pages.

You can clear localStorage or adjust browser settings to limit storage. Doing so may reset your theme preference.

Overseas disclosure

Some service providers (including Formspree and Google Fonts) may store or process information overseas. Where we disclose personal information outside Australia, we take reasonable steps to ensure recipients handle information in a manner consistent with the APPs, or otherwise as permitted by law.

Security and retention

We take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to protect personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

We retain personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (for example, for tax, legal, or dispute-resolution purposes).

Access, correction, and deletion

Under the Privacy Act, you may request access to personal information we hold about you and request correction if it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

To make a request, use our contact form. We will respond within a reasonable period and in accordance with applicable law. We may decline access where permitted by law.

Complaints

If you believe we have breached the APPs or mishandled your personal information, please contact us via the contact form. We will investigate and respond within a reasonable time.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

Marketing and opt-out

If we send promotional communications, we will provide a way to opt out. You may also contact us at any time to withdraw consent to marketing communications.

Children

This website is intended for a general business audience and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the current version. Continued use of the website after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
