GiffGaff are well aware of affiliates using their name in domains and distributors have been doing so for a very long time without any problems.
There are multiple threads in their community board regarding this as well going back years
As of this moment I have never had any issues and can't foresee any either
I would imagine if I redirected the domain to vodafone they wouldnt be so happy though
I will add however that should any buyer have any issues for example a C&D I will happily refund the price paid
I am in the process as I'm typing this contacting GiffGaff regarding this and will provide any response given here & save email ready to forward on to potential buyers
I'm not using their affiliate program, I'm currently promoting via their own Payback scheme
I do get your point however & will get some text added to the site immediately
Also regarding GDPR .. there should be a popup on the site .. is nothing showing up ?
You'll get destroyed on any one of their conditions, I'd suggest you stop using this domain:
