JPRS WHOIS/JPRS RDAP Compliance with ICANN Policies

With the enforcement of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR^*1) in the European Union (EU), ICANN^*2 adopted "Registration Data Policy"^*3 (hereinafter referred to as "Data Policy"), which establishes the obligations concerning the processing of registration data for gTLD Registries and Registrars.
As an ICANN-Accredited Registrar, JPRS operates JPRS WHOIS and JPRS RDAP for gTLDs (hereinafter referred to as “JPRS WHOIS/RDAP”) in compliance with the Data Policy, as described in this document.^*4

JPRS implements the following measures to comply with the Data Policy in gTLD registrations.

1)  Redaction of certain gTLD contact information fields in JPRS WHOIS/RDAP

When the address of a gTLD contact (Registrant, Administrative Contact or Tech Contact) is located within the EEA, the contact information fields specified by the Data Policy are redacted: therefore, the gTLD contact information in these fields is not published.
For more details, please refer to Section 3."Display of gTLD contact Information on JPRS WHOIS/RDAP".

JPRS provides a web form (the "Contact Request Forwarding Form") to forward contact requests or inquiries to the redacted gTLD contact(s).
