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.”
How to Submit a Request

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.
Response Time
We aim to respond to Disclosure Requests within:
⏱ 7–14 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.
