Overview
Registration Pty Ltd (ABN 66 641 933 173) (Registration, we, our or us) respects your right to privacy. This privacy policy applies to all personal information provided to us through Registration’s website, social media, or by any other means. By accessing our website, social media pages, or other channels, or by submitting personal information through any other means, you accept the terms of this privacy policy.
1. Applicable laws
- We adhere to the Australian Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
- In this privacy policy, personal information is information that is identifiable as being about you or which can be used to identify you. This may include your name, age, gender, postcode, email address, identification number, or any other information that can reasonably identify an individual, either directly or indirectly.
- For further information, or if you have any questions about your personal information which is held by us, you can contact us in writing at help@reg.com.au(.)
2. What personal information is collected
- Registration delivers business name and domain name registration and renewal services. We collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for us to perform one of our functions or activities, and in particular so that we can provide registration or renewal services to you.
- When you register for one of our services, we will receive and store personal information you submit to our website. We may also receive and store information given to us in other forms or obtained through publicly available records.
- The type of personal information that we collect and hold will depend upon the nature of your engagement with us (such as whether you are submitting an application to access one of our services, or whether you are visiting our website). This may include collecting information such as your name, phone number, address, and email address to enable us to send you information, provide updates and process any business name or domain name application you submit via us.
- We may collect additional information at other times, including but not limited to any information you provide about your business or email preferences; any responses you submit to surveys and/or promotions; any financial or credit card information you provide to us; or any communications between you and any member of Registration’s administration or registrations team.
- We may also collect, use and share Aggregated Data including statistical or demographic data. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal information, but is not considered personal information or personal data in law as it does not directly or indirectly allow your identity to be determined. This may include aggregating your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or otherwise integrate Aggregated Data with your personal information so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we will treat the combined or integrated data as personal information, in which case it will be managed in accordance with this privacy policy.
- We may collect some Special Categories of Personal Data, but this will only be processed to the extent necessary to facilitate our services, and will only be done with your permission.
- Where we need to collect personal information by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you do not provide that information when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with business or domain name registration or renewal services). In this case, we may have to cancel a service you apply for via us, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
3. How we collect your personal information
- Registration collects personal information from you in several ways, including when you interact with us electronically or in person, when you access our website and when we engage in business activities with you. In some cases, we may receive personal information about you from third parties and publicly available sources. If we do, this personal information will only be collected by lawful means and will be protected as set out in this privacy policy.
4. How we use your personal information
- Registration may use personal information we collect from you to provide you with information about our services. We may also use your personal information to make you aware of other products and services.
- Registration may use your personal information to improve our services, to better understand your needs, and to personalise your experience.
- We may disclose your personal information to comply with legal requirements, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, warrant, legal proceedings, or in response to a law enforcement agency request.
- Registration may contact you using any of the contact details you provide to us, including by telephone, email, SMS, or mail.

This may be in the form of emails, SMS, mail, or other forms of communication, in accordance with the Spam Act and the Privacy Act. You may opt out of receiving marketing materials from us by using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us at the email address in paragraph 1.3.
