Data Request Policy

  • Privacy Notice. Please see Site5's Privacy Notice for further information on what information Site5 collects, how it is used and when it may be disclosed. Subject to Site5's Privacy Notice, this Data Request Policy describes the types of data requests that Site5 may receive and how Site5 may respond to such requests.
  • Types of Requests. Site5 may receive the following types of requests concerning its Subscribers:
    • Data Requests. A data request is a request for information or documents relating to Subscriber accounts in connection with official criminal investigations or other legal proceedings. Except in limited emergency situations (see below), Site5 requires data requests to be made through formal U.S. legal process and procedures, and such requests will be handled in accordance with applicable law. Examples of acceptable data requests include:
      • Subpoenas
      • Court Orders
      • Search Warrants
      • Legal process received from outside the United States may require a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) with the United States
      • Other forms of legal process such as Civil Investigative Demands
    • Preservation Requests. A preservation request asks Site5 to preserve Subscriber account records in connection with official criminal investigations or other official legal proceedings. Preservation requests must include the following information:
      • Identification of the account(s) at issue (as further described in Section 6 below);
      • Identification of the investigating agency and/or specific pending official proceedings (requests must be signed on law enforcement letterhead);
      • Assurances that the requesting agency or individual is taking steps to obtain appropriate legal process for access to the data that Site5 is being asked to preserve; and
      • A valid return email address and phone number.
  • Emergency Requests. An emergency request is only appropriate in cases involving imminent serious bodily harm or death. We respond to emergency requests when we believe in good faith that such harm may occur if we do not respond without delay.
  • Disclosure of Non-Public Domain Registrant Information. As the sponsoring registrar or reseller of certain domain names governed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), Site5 must permit third parties with a legitimate interest to access masked (non-public) registrant information subject to the data subject's rights under the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") or other similar privacy laws as applicable.
  • Notice to Site5 Subscribers. Site5's policy is to notify its Subscribers of requests for their data unless Site5 is prohibited from doing so by applicable law or court order.
  • Information to Include in a Request. The following information must be included in a request for Subscriber data:
    • First and last name of the Subscriber and email address associated with the account; and
    • Domain name, username and/or IP address associated with the account.
    NOTE: A Request that only includes an IP address may be overly broad and insufficient for Site5 to locate a Subscriber account. Please include additional identifiers such domain name or username whenever possible.

    Site5 may not be able to respond to a request without this information.

    Additionally, Site5 reserves the right to request a copy of the complaint and any supporting documentation that demonstrates how the information requested is related to any pending litigation, formal legal proceeding or investigation.
