In addition, when a domain name is registered by a customer, certain information is collected for use on the WHOIS service. The WHOIS service allows internet users to query a domain name to find out the identity and contact details of the registrant (the owner). The public WHOIS service is a standard feature of domain name service providers around the world. In relation to .au domain names, please see auDA’s WHOIS policy at http://www.auda.org.au/policies/current- policies/2010-06/ which sets out auDA’s guidelines on the collection, disclosure and use of WHOIS data. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding our collection or use of your information and privacy, please contact our Chief Executive Officer by sending an email to [email protected].
