NOTICE, DISCLAIMERS AND TERMS OF USE:

On 17 May 2018 the ICANN Board adopted a Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data. On 20 May 2019, the ICANN Board adopted an Interim Registration Data Policy for gTLDs, requiring contracted parties to continue to implement measures consistent with the Temporary Specification during Stage 1, pending implementation of the Board-approved recommendations of the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on gTLD Registration Data (phase 1). As a result, ICANN contracted parties have, in some circumstances, changed how Registration Data is publicly displayed and processed. Accordingly, some Personal Data in Registration Data may be redacted in the public RDDS. Further, the email fields for certain RDDS contacts may display a webform or an email address that does not identify the contact, but still provides the functionality to forward email communications to the email address of the relevant contact.

*Note: Where Registration Data is redacted pursuant to the above, contracted parties must provide reasonable access to Personal Data in Registration Data to third parties on the basis of a legitimate interests pursued by the third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the Registered Name Holder or data subject pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. (Temporary Specification, Appendix A, Section 4).
