Crazy Egg allows us to track the effects of various changes to a website (e.g. changes to input fields, design, etc.) within the framework of so-called “A/B-Testings”, “Clicktracking” and “Heatmaps”. A/B tests are designed to improve the usability and performance of online services. For example, users are presented with different versions of a website or its elements, such as input forms, on which the placement of the contents or labels of the navigation elements can differ. The behavior of users, e.g. length of time spent on the website or more frequent interaction with the elements, can then be used to determine which of these websites or elements are more suited to users’ needs. “Clicktracking” allows you to keep track of the movements of users within an entire online offering. Since the results of these tests are more accurate if the interaction of the users can be followed over a certain period of time (e.g. if a user likes to return), cookies are usually stored on your device for these test purposes. Technical data such as selected language, system, screen resolution and browser type are recorded. For technical reasons, this information is stored in a so-called session cookie. This means that this cookie is deleted after leaving the site and is not used to track users across multiple sites or to identify returning visitors. The information collected does not include passwords, the IP address is anonymized and the information is not shared with third parties.

C. Information About The Processing When Registering a .ME Domain

The list of .ME accredited registrars is available at https://domain.me/accredited-registrars/.
We collect and use Data only as it might be needed for us to deliver to you rights and benefits of a .ME domain registration. This may include
The right to create a .ME domain, subject to the selected Accredited Registrar’s applicable terms of service, and pricing,
Designation of the primary and secondary domain name servers for the Domain Name,
the right to renew a .ME domain registration upon its expiration, subject to the selected Accredited Registrar’s applicable terms of service, and pricing,
the right to transfer ta .ME domain registration to another accredited registrar at its own expense, subject to the current and future selected accredited registrar’s applicable terms of service, and pricing,
The right to redeem a .ME domain registration upon its deletion, subject to the selected Accredited Registrar’s applicable terms of service, and pricing.
the right to resolve disputes or claims that arise involving the Domain Name registration, subject to applicable terms of the selected Accredited Registrar’s registration agreement and terms of service.
We collect information so that we can provide the best possible experience when you utilize our Services. When you register a .Me domain name through our Accredited Registrars we receive – in most cases – the following registration data elements. The same data elements as for the Registrant apply to the Admin-C, Billing-C and Tech-C.
Access, Updating And Deletion Of Your Data
If you make a request to delete your Data and that data is necessary for Services you use, the request will be honored only to the extent it is no longer necessary for any Services you use or required for our legitimate business purposes or legal or contractual record keeping requirements.
The Domain Registrant is responsible for ensuring that his/its Data (e.g., contact information) related to the Domain Name is accurate. In the event of an error, the Domain Registrant must contact his/its Accredited Registrar so that the information can be updated. In turn, the Accredited Registrar notifies the Registry Operator of the updated contact information in a quick and efficient manner. This means that Data may be continually updated.
A Domain Registrant may ask that all Domain Name registrations held by the Domain Registrant must be deleted, and the Domain Name registrations will become available for others to register. However, Data that is not connected to an existing Domain Name registration is stored in the form of historical data required for our legitimate business purposes or legal or contractual record keeping requirements.
