Information
you must provide.
In visiting our site, you are required to provide
information (a) to register a domain name, (b) to update
information about a domain name previously registered,
or (c) to submit questions about our service. To
register a domain name, you are required to provide the
name you are registering; your name and postal address
(or those of the person for whom you are registering the
name); technical information about the computer with
which the domain name will be associated; and the name,
postal address, e-mail address, and voice and (where
available) fax telephone numbers for the technical,
administrative, billing, and zone contacts for the
domain name. Once the domain name has been registered,
your registration agreement requires you to correct and
update this data promptly. If you submit a question
about our service, you will be asked to provide your
name, telephone number, and e-mail address.
Why
you must provide the information.
The information you provide when registering a domain
name (or correcting or updating registration
information) is required to allow the Internet to
associate the domain name with your computer, to allow
us to properly handle your account (including notifying
you at renewal time), and to permit others operating or
using the Internet to easily contact you to resolve
issues that arise in connection with the domain name. It
will also be stored under a data escrow program to keep
the domain name operating in the event we leave the
domain-name registration business. When you submit a
question to our website, contact information is needed
so that we can respond.
Who
will receive the information.
We will provide information you submit in registering a
domain name or updating related information to our own
employees and consultants, to the administrator of the
registry for the top-level domain in which you are
registering (currently Network Solutions, Inc. for .com,
.net, and .org), to operators and users of the Internet
making Whois queries concerning your domain-name
registration, to the Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN) (which provides technical
coordination for the Internet), and to escrow agents,
auditors, Whois service providers, and replacement
registrars that ICANN may designate.
In addition, unless you
instruct us otherwise we may periodically provide your
registration information to other companies for
inclusion in value-added Internet database and search
services.
Information you provide
in asking questions about our service may be given to
our employees and consultants and, upon its request,
to ICANN.
Accessing, correcting,
and updating information. You are required to correct
any erroneous or out-of-date contact information
concerning your registration. You can access the
information you provide, correct it, and update it by
visiting our website.
Information
you provide about others.
In providing personal information about other
individuals (such as someone in whose name you are
registering or the domain name's technical or billing
contacts), you represent that you have notified them of
the purposes for which the information will be used, the
recipients of the information, and how they can access
and correct the information, and that you have obtained
their consent.
