Overview
If a registry operator or registrar determines that it must enter into a data protection agreement with ICANN in order to comply with applicable law and the Registration Data Policy, the contracted party must request to sign the Data Processing Specification (DPS) with ICANN.
The DPS was drafted to implement the EPDP Phase 1 Policy Recommendations. As such, the scope of the DPS is limited. It provides a contractual framework to enable the processing of gTLD registration data contemplated in the Registration Data Policy to be performed in compliance with applicable data protection law. The DPS is:
- A Specification to the Registry Agreement (RA) and Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA).
- An agreement between parties who, independent of each other, control their own processing of personal data that is contemplated by the Registration Data Policy (agreement between "independent controllers"). It sets out high-level data protection requirements for the processing of gTLD registration data ("Personal Registration Data").
- Drafted to accommodate contracted parties' efforts to comply with any applicable data protection law (not limited, for example, to the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)).
- Is not a "Data Processing Agreement" and it does not require contracted parties to provide ICANN with greater data access than that required under the RA/RAA and applicable consensus policies.
How to add DPS
Registrars and registry operators may elect to add the DPS to their respective agreements with ICANN via the DPS Add Service. To do so, the registry operator or registrar must take the following steps via the applicable method described below:
- Confirm your request for DPS Add Service via attestation.
- Provide DPS signatory details.
- Provide DPS data security breach notification contact information.
- Provide DPS data exporter information, if applicable.
To add the DPS into your agreement with ICANN, submit a DPS Add Service request in the Naming Services portal.
