Privacy Policy

1. Who we are (Data Controller)

PremiumDomains.ie is a trading name of Soma Marketing Ltd, a company registered in Ireland. Soma Marketing Ltd is the data controller responsible for your personal data.

2. The personal data we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Enquiry & account data: your name, email address, phone number, company name, CRO number, and the content of any message or enquiry you send us.
• Transaction data: domains purchased, offered on, or leased, billing details, and records needed to complete and account for a sale. Card payments are processed by Stripe — we never see or store your full card number.
• Eligibility documents: proof of connection to Ireland required by the .ie Registry (e.g. CRO/VAT number, photo ID) when you complete a transaction.
• Technical & usage data: a first-party attribution cookie (pd_src) recording how you first reached the site, plus standard server logs (IP address, browser type) for security and reliability.

3. Why we use it & our lawful basis

We only send marketing email if you have actively opted in. You can withdraw consent at any time using the unsubscribe link in every marketing email, or by emailing us. Withdrawing consent does not affect emails we send to handle an enquiry or transaction you have started.

4. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with the service providers (processors) that help us run the service, each under a data processing agreement:

• Supabase — secure database hosting of enquiry and account data (hosted in the EU, Ireland region).
• Loops — transactional and (where you consented) marketing email.
• Stripe — secure payment processing.
• Google — optional sign-in (OAuth), if you choose to use it.
• weare.ie / IE Domain Registry (IEDR) — to register or transfer a .ie domain and verify eligibility.
• Vercel & Cloudflare — website hosting and email routing.
• Bunny.net (BunnyWay d.o.o., Slovenia) — DNS hosting and content delivery for our domain landing pages.

We may also disclose data where required by law, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

5. International transfers

Enquiry and account data is stored within the EU (Ireland). Some of our processors (such as Loops, Stripe, and Google) may process data in the United States. Where data leaves the EEA, the transfer is protected by an approved safeguard — the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

6. How long we keep it

• Enquiry / lead data: up to 24 months after our last contact, then deleted, unless it becomes part of a transaction.
• Completed transaction records: 6 years, to meet Irish tax and contract-law obligations.
• Marketing contacts: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your data.

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to:

• Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
• Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data;
• Erase your data ("right to be forgotten"), where applicable;
• Restrict or object to our processing;
• Data portability — receive your data in a portable format;
• Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these, email privacy@premiumdomains.ie. We will respond within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish supervisory authority, the Data Protection Commission (21 Fitzwilliam Square South, Dublin 2, D02 RD28; dataprotection.ie).

8. Cookies

We keep cookies to a minimum. We set one strictly-functional first-party cookie, pd_src, which records how you first arrived at the site so we can understand which channels are useful. It contains no third-party advertising or cross-site tracking identifiers. Because it is strictly necessary for the service, it does not require a consent banner. Essential cookies may also be used to keep you signed in if you create an account.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent version. Material changes will be highlighted on this page.
