Here at Easynic we are proud to provide services that are easy to understand, and we strive for the same level of clarity in the policies that govern our service.
As you may know, the European Union will begin enforcing new data protection legislation next month called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It is a huge step forward in holding service providers (that's us!) accountable for how they store and use your personal data in the European Union, and we've taken this opportunity to review our practices for everyone. Most of our policies are already aligned with the GDPR’s requirements, but we did need to make a few changes to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
On the 25th May 2018, these regulations will come into force. Our parent company iomart has pulled together the information below to answer all your key questions, and our resource List contains helpful guides and a toolkit to get you GDPR-ready.

Easynic respects your right to privacy. This privacy policy has been developed to inform you about the privacy practices followed by Easynic in connection with its websites, products and services. This privacy policy will inform you about what data is collected, how we use such data, where data is processed, how you may opt out of your data being used, and the security provisions around storing your data and how to correct or update your data.
1. Data.
In order to communicate with you and to provide our products and services and related support, it is necessary for Easynic to transfer your personal data outside of the European Union. In such case, the data controller for this data for EU residents is Easynic, Ltd., having its registered offices at Easynic Ltd, 11-21 Paul St, London EC2A 4JU. All questions or requests regarding the processing of data may be addressed to: dpo@iomart.com
2. Collection of Personal Information
We collect information from you when you place an order for a Easynic product use our online chat service register for a webinar, respond to a survey, fill out a form for pre/post sales assistance, open a support ticket, or your use of social media.
Easynic is a domain registrar and webhosting service provider, we provide platforms for you to use such as email, web hosting and secure ecommerce.
To fulfil requests for domain names, digital certificates or other products or services, you may be asked to enter your name, email address, physical address, phone number, credit card information and/or organisational details or other personal information.
2.1 Domain name specific data
As part of its duties as an ICANN accredited domain name registrar, Easynic is required to provide certain information about customers who register domain names with Easynic to the relevant naming authority. This information will include personal data such as the customer’s name, address and telephone number.
The relevant naming authority will make such information available to the public through publicly accessible directories of owners of domain names.
It is a condition of the purchase of a domain name from Easynic that the customer agrees to the transfer of his/her personal data to the relevant naming authority and agrees to the naming authority making that personal data available on a public database. Easynic can provide its customers with details of the relevant naming authority on request.
2.2 2.2 Tiered Access Directory - Whois Directory
The Tiered Access Directory is Easyspace’s “gated” version of the Whois directory. It allows accredited third parties, such as members of law enforcement, to view the contact data of domain registrants who use our platform.
Up until 25th May 2018, the registration data for all domain names was, by default, published in the public Whois directory, where it was visible to any party who performed a “Whois lookup” on a domain.
With the advent of the GDPR and other similar privacy laws, however, the public display of this personal data has become problematic. This led Easyspace to the decision to redact real contact data from the public Whois. Alongside this change, we implemented our gated Tiered Access Directory as a means for parties with a legitimate legal interest to access this personal data, while ensuring it is not unnecessarily exposed through display in the public directory.
