    1. The Site is controlled and operated by us from the United States and is not intended to subject Registrar Corp. to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country, or territory other than that of the United States.

Minor changes to the policy may occur that will not significantly affect our use of personal data without notice or consent. Registrar Corp. encourages you to periodically review this Policy for the latest information regarding our privacy practices.

VI. Region Specific Provisions

A. GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation (EU)

  1. Registrar Corp. believes that the GDPR provides the gold standard for personal data protection and therefore has based its entire privacy policy on the premise that all users should be afforded the rights guaranteed by the GDPR. As such, many of the specific provisions of the GDPR are covered in the main privacy policy.
  2. Under the GDPR and when processing your data, Registrar Corp. will act as either a processor (or sub-processor, as applicable) or a controller, depending on the purpose for the data processing. While processing Personal Data for the provision of Registrar Corp.’s Services, Registrar Corp.’s Customer is the Controller (or a Processor processing Personal Data on behalf of a third-party Controller), and Registrar Corp. is a Processor (or sub-Processor, as applicable). In this case, the end-user of the service is the data subject.
  3. As Processor, Registrar Corp. will comply with the instructions contained in this document, in the Registrar Corp. Terms of Service, and in any agreements between you and Registrar Corp., or other instructions that you provide later.
  4. As Controller, Registrar Corp. will use, with your consent, your Personal Data for improving our services.
  5. Registrar Corp. ensures that the collection, use, and retention of Personal Data transferred from the European Union, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom to the United States is authorized via a suitable legal vehicle, such as the relevant Standard Contractual Clauses.
  6. As noted in the Section titled “Choice and Transparency” above, you have a right to access your data, correct or remove it, or completely withdraw your consent for processing it at any time. Such requests may be submitted here. The withdrawal of a consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
  7. Registrar Corp. maintains a record of the processing activities it carries out in the course of using personal data to deliver its services, and it will provide this report (Art. 30 “Record of Processing Activities”) to supervisory authorities upon written demand.
  8. If you have questions about our Privacy Policy or data practices, you may contact Registrar Corp.’s Data Protection Officer (DPO), Philip Edge, at DPO@registrarcorp.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the national supervisory authority of your residence, place of work, or where you believe an infringement of your GDPR rights may have occurred.

B. CCPA/CPRA – California Consumer Protection Act / California Privacy Rights Act

  1. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and the subsequent California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) requires businesses that collect personal data of California residents to make certain disclosures regarding how they collect, use and disclose such information.
