Overview
Unstoppable Domains is committed to protecting the privacy of our registrants and complying with all applicable laws, including the ICANN Registration Data Policy (RDP) and the GDPR.
Under certain limited circumstances, third parties may request access to non-public registration data (commonly called WHOIS data).
This article explains how to submit a Disclosure Request and how Unstoppable Domains reviews and processes such requests.
This guide fulfils the requirement under ICANN Registration Data Policy Section 10, which states:
“Registrars shall publish a mechanism for third parties to submit a request for non-public data and a process for review of such requests.”

The identity of the requester, including:
Full legal name
Organisation (if applicable)
Valid email address
The purpose of the request and the legitimate interest or legal rights relied upon
A description of how the requested data will be used
The legal basis for disclosure, including reference to any applicable law, regulation, legal proceeding, or enforceable right

Requests that do not include the minimum required information may be denied or delayed.
How We Review Your Request
Each Disclosure Request is evaluated by Unstoppable Domains in accordance with:
The ICANN Registration Data Policy (RDP)
GDPR and applicable privacy laws
Legitimate interest and balancing tests
Data minimization requirements
We may take one of the following actions:
1. Disclose the requested data
This occurs only when we have a clear and lawful basis for disclosure, such as:
A binding court order
A UDRP/URS decision
Registrant consent
A valid legal obligation
2. Decline the request
Disclosure will be denied if:
There is no lawful basis
The request does not outweigh the registrant’s data-protection rights
Documentation is incomplete
The request is abusive, vague, or unsupported
3. Forward your communication to the registrant (most common)
If disclosure is not legally permitted, we will still:
Forward your message, attachments, cease & desist letter, or legal notice to the registrant at the privacy-protected contact address
Maintain the registrant’s privacy
Allow the registrant the opportunity to respond to you directly
This ensures due process without exposing personal data unlawfully.
Registrar Response Method and Response Time
Unstoppable Domains will respond to Disclosure Requests via email to the email address provided by the requester.
Responses may include one or more of the following outcomes:
Confirmation that the requested data will be disclosed (in whole or in part)
Notice that the request has been denied, including a brief explanation
Notice that the requester’s communication has been forwarded to the registrant
A request for additional information or documentation, if required to complete the review
All responses will be sent electronically unless otherwise required by law.
We aim to respond to Disclosure Requests within:
⏱ 3-14 business days
More complex cases or legally sensitive matters may require additional time.
Important Notes
Filing a Disclosure Request does not guarantee that personal data will be disclosed.
Registrant data is only provided where a clear legal basis exists.
Unsupported allegations (e.g., “cybersquatting”) generally do not justify disclosure without a court/UDRP action.
For trademark or ownership disputes, requestors may use the UDRP or court proceedings, which often provide mechanisms for data disclosure.
