As part of the use of cookies, some of the information may be transferred to service providers or their subcontractors who are based outside the European Economic Area, i.e. in the United States. On 10 July 2023, the European Commission adopted a new decision finding an adequate level of protection for personal data provided by the so-called 'EU-US Data Privacy Framework'. Under this decision, the European Commission concluded that the changes made by the United States of America to its legislation provide an adequate degree of protection for personal data transferred by private and public entities from the territory of the European Economic Area to organisations in the US that ensure compliance with the new "EU-US Data Protection Framework." A list of these organisations has been published by the US Department of Commerce (Data Privacy Framework Program). The transfer of data to these organisations is possible without the need for additional permits or legal instruments such as standard contractual clauses.

With respect to US entities that are not enrolled in the Data Privacy Framework Program, the legal basis for the transfer will be the obligation of the entity to which your personal data will be disclosed to apply the provisions of the standard data protection clauses issued under European Commission Implementing Decision 2021/914 of 4 June 2021 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The content of these clauses is publicly available on the Internet in the EUR-lex electronic database of European Union legislation. Under these clauses, additional safeguards related to the transfer of data outside the European Economic Area have been introduced. If you would like more information, please feel free to contact the Client Service Department.

Other information

Providing personal data is a precondition for using Whois Data Protection services. Identification data is necessary for us to identify the parties to the contract - acquiring them enables us to know who is a party to the agreement with us and on whose behalf we provide the service. Acquisition of address and contact data allows us to contact the Registrant on matters related to the services provided and to perform the service of forwarding correspondence from the Interested Party to the Registrant. Therefore, without the provision of personal data, the provision of services and the implementation of other purposes for which we process your personal data will not be possible.

The implementation of submitted requests - both in the field of personal data protection and related to the services provided - is always preceded by appropriate authorisation of the person submitting the request. Remember that if there is any doubt about your identity, Whois Data Protection has the right to perform additional verification of the identity of the person making the request. This is to prevent the execution of instructions submitted by unauthorised persons.

Your personal data will not be subject to profiling.

We would further like to inform you that Whois Data Protection uses cookies on its website. For more information on the use of cookies, please see our Privacy Policy available on Whois Data Protection.
