Privacy Policy
SearchNom, LLC (“SearchNom,” “we,” or “us”) cares about your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected and used by SearchNom. By using the SearchNom websites, products, services, mobile apps (“app(s)”), and applications (collectively, “Services”), you agree to the SearchNom Privacy Policy.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.
SearchNom reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, and we encourage you to review it frequently. Modifications will be posted to the Privacy Policy on the SearchNom website. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by means of notice on the website when a change is made.

Information We Collect
We collect information to improve our Services and to provide better experiences to all of our users. SearchNom collects both personal information and non-personal information.
“Personal Information” is information that can be used to identify, locate, or contact an individual. It also includes other information that may be associated with Personal Information.
We collect the following types of Personal Information:
- Contact information that allows us to communicate with you, such as your name, postal addresses, email addresses, social media website user account names, telephone numbers, or other addresses at which you receive communications from or on behalf of SearchNom.
- Billing and payment information as needed to process payments for our Services, such as your credit or debit card number, expiration date, and card verification number.
“Non-Personal Information” is information that, alone, cannot be used to identify or contact you. Such Non-Personal Information may include, for example, gender, birthdate, or zip code. You may be asked to submit Non-Personal Information with Personal information, or separately.
We collect such information in two ways: (1) Information you provide; and (2) Information we receive from your use of our Services.
Information You Provide
We collect Personal Information when you:
- Send SearchNom any electronic communication (via an email or other app or website database form);
- Enter contests as may be available from time-to-time;
- Complete a user account;
- Order products or services including free-trials;
- Submit online applications and forms to SearchNom;
- Create shopping cart data, as and when available;
- Subscribe to newsletters;
If you use a social media platform or your mobile device (or other method of communication) to interact with SearchNom, the communication method or application may have a specific privacy policy that governs the use of Personal Information.
Automatically Collected Information
When you use SearchNom Services, we may collect certain information as described below for such purposes as improving of our products and services, troubleshooting bugs, providing the Services, managing the Services, tracking usage, providing content for referring traffic sources, and improving overall performance of the Services. Such information may include: IP address; profile information; aggregate user data; preferences; technical session information; browser type; information about your computer, hardware, software, or mobile device, including a device identifier; demographic information including gender, zip code and age; and navigational data including log files, server logs, clickstream data, and other data such as your location, where enabled, and language preference. User IP addresses are recorded for security and monitoring purposes. If you arrived at our website via a link from another webpage, we may receive aggregate or otherwise anonymous statistical information about your visit to our site. We monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage to help us develop the design and layout of the site, and to improve the content of our website to better match the interests of our website users. We may combine this automatically collected and other Non-Personal Information with Personal Information, in which case we will treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.
Cookies and Related Technologies
When you use SearchNom Services, we collect certain information by automated or electronic means, using technologies such as cookies, pixel tags and web beacons, browser analysis tools, and web server logs.

How SearchNom Shares Information We Collect
We will not disclose your Personal Information to third parties except to our service providers that provide services for us such as sending emails on our behalf and processing payments.

From time to time, SearchNom may partner with other companies, such as our TapMarketplace official partners, to jointly offer products or services. If you purchase or specifically express interest in a jointly–offered product or service from or through SearchNom, we may share Personal or Non-Personal Information about SearchNom customers collected in connection with your purchase or expression of interest with our partners. SearchNom does not control our business partners’ use of such information, and their use of the information will be in accordance with their own privacy policies. If you do not wish for your Personal Information to be shared in this manner, you may opt not to purchase or not specifically express interest in a jointly-offered product or service.
SearchNom may aggregate information collected by the Services or via other means so that the information does not identify you. Our use and disclosure of anonymous, aggregated information, and other Non-Personal Information, is not subject to any restrictions under this Privacy Policy, and we may disclose it to others without limitation for any legal purpose.

We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
How We Protect Your Personal Information
The security of your personal information is important to us. We have implemented reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against the unauthorized access, destruction, or alteration of your information. Despite our best efforts, however, no security measures are completely impenetrable.
Use of SearchNom Online Forums
The Services may contain user submitted content, comments, and opinions in online forums and communities, for example, the SearchNom Marketplace or FAQs. Such content is for informational purposes only, and SearchNom is not responsible for user-submitted content. SearchNom may provide or recommend responses as a possible solution based on the information provided; every potential issue may involve several factors not detailed in the conversations captured in an electronic forum, and SearchNom can, therefore, provide no guarantee as to the efficacy of any proposed solutions on the community forums. SearchNom disclaims any and all liability for the acts, omissions, and conduct of any third parties in connection with or related to your use of the Services. We recommend and caution all users not to disclose Personal Information within the forums or communities. SearchNom does not pre-screen third-party user content and does not undertake the responsibility to remove any harmful or offensive content, but reserves the right, in our sole discretion to remove any and all content for any or no reason at any time.
Data Transfers from the EU and Switzerland to the United States
SearchNom complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss–U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of Personal Information transferred from the European Union and the United Kingdom and/or Switzerland to the United States, respectively. SearchNom has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles.

SearchNom is responsible for the processing of Personal Information it receives under the Privacy Shield Framework and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. We comply with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU and Swiss, including the onward transfer liability provisions.
With respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the Privacy Shield Framework, we are subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
SearchNom complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). EU and Swiss individuals have the right to access, correct, transfer, erase, restrict collection, retention, and transfer of their personal data. SearchNom retains personal data for as long as it is necessary and relevant to the purpose of processing. In addition to the rights provided in this Privacy Policy, please note the following: Because SearchNom personnel have limited ability to access data that our customers submit to our Services, if you wish to request access, to limit use, or to limit disclosure, please provide the name of the SearchNom customer who submitted your data to our Services. We will refer your request to that customer, and will support them as needed in responding to your request.
If you have any questions or concerns, we encourage you to write to us as indicated below. We will investigate and attempt to resolve complaints and disputes regarding use and disclosure of Personal Information in accordance with the Privacy Shield Principles. If an issue cannot be resolved through our internal dispute resolution mechanism, individuals may contact or submit a complaint, at no cost, to the JAMS EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Program, which is based in the United States and which serves as our third-party alternative dispute resolution provider. We will cooperate with JAMS pursuant to the JAMS International Mediation Rules, which are accessible on the JAMS website at https://www.jamsadr.com/eu-us-privacy-shield. For residual complaints not fully or partially resolved by other means, you may be able to invoke binding arbitration as detailed in the Privacy Shield Principles.
