To provide web hosting services and/or domain registration/management, we obtain the following information about you as described below:
When you purchase Domain Registration services for top-level domains (TLDs), as the domain registrar, we are required to collect the following personal information from you (collectively, "Personal Information"):
Our collection of Personal Information is necessary to comply with contractual obligations we have with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") and with certain TLD registries ("Registries") so that you can validly register your domain name.
In addition to Personal Information, our contracts with some Registries may require us to collect other personal information for the registration of a TLD, such as certain professional affiliations, identification, or other qualifiers ("Additional Personal Information").
Our contracts with ICANN and other Registries require us to make certain domain name information ("WHOIS Information") available and accessible to the public through a searchable port 43 "WHOIS" Service via a public webpage operated by the applicable registrar of record ("WHOIS Site").
The WHOIS Site is a publicly accessible database that lists WHOIS Information, including a particular domain name, the name server(s) to which the domain name points, and the domain name’s creation and expiration date.
If you initiate a transfer out of a domain name away from us as the registrar of record, pursuant to our contract with ICANN, we may need to publish your registrant email address obtained from your Personal Information on the WHOIS Site for a period of approximately five (5) calendar days.
After this period and assuming a valid transfer has occurred, you would cease to be our customer for that domain name, and your WHOIS Information would be managed by the gaining registrar.
Registries are third-party providers of TLDs that are independent of domain registrars. If required by contract with a particular Registry, we may be obligated, as a domain registrar of domains provided by the Registry, to provide Personal Information and Additional Personal Information to such Registry to successfully complete your domain name registration.
If we provide your Personal Information and Additional Personal Information to a Registry, the Registry has its own obligation to comply with applicable data privacy laws.
Our contract with ICANN requires us to deposit the Personal Information collected with a secure third-party escrow provider who acts solely as a holder of the data.
We may also disclose your Personal Information when required by the rules, regulations, and policies of ICANN, including but not limited to the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP).
Hostlika discloses potentially personally-identifying and personal-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that:
Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Hostlika's website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
Hostlika will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying information to anyone.
Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Hostlika discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, government investigation, legal investigation, or other governmental request, or when Hostlika believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Hostlika, third parties, or the public at large.
