The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new European privacy law becomes enforceable on May 25, 2018.
The GDPR applies to all entities and individuals based in the EU and to entities and individuals, whether or not based in the EU, that process the personal data of EU individuals. The GDPR defines personal data as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This is a broad definition, and includes data that is obviously personal (such as an individual’s name or contact details) as well as data that can be used to identify an individual indirectly (such as an individual’s IP address).
According to article 4 of the EU GDPR Controller – “means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data”
Processor – “means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller” What is Our role under GDPR, controller or processor?
When you use Our products and services to process EU personal data, We act as a data processor. We act as a data controller for the EU customer information We collect to provide Our products and services and to provide timely customer support.
We store data that you have given us voluntarily. You decide what personal data, if any, is uploaded to Our products and services.
The list of Personal Data We collect:
We collect the personal data for:
We may provide paid products and/or services within the Service. In that case, We use third-party services for payment processing (e.g. payment processors).
We will not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to Our third- party payment processors whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy.
These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.
We retain Personal Data We collect from you where We have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements).
When We have no ongoing legitimate and business need to process your Personal Data, We will delete your Personal Data.

We may share Data about you with:
According to the GDPR, the controller and the processor shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.
We are constantly reviewing and enhancing its technical, physical and managerial procedures and rules to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, accidental loss and/or destruction. We use industry standard TLS certificates to provide encryption of data in transit, for example, all access to Our websites and management portals is covered by HTTPS protocol.
Also, from May 25th, We will not publish the personal data of domain name registrants located in the EU in the WHOIS. This is to ensure Our WHOIS output is compliant with the GDPR.
However, access to personal data of domain name registrants may be granted when such access is necessary for technical reasons such as for the facilitation of transfers, or for law enforcement when it is legally entitled to such access.
Customers that handle EU personal data are required to comply with the privacy and security requirements under the GDPR. As part of this, they must ensure that the vendors they use to process the EU personal data also have privacy and security protections in place. We are committed to GDPR compliance and to helping you to comply with the GDPR when they use Our services. We have therefore made Our DPA available for you and it can be found here

All DapDomains services are operating on a prepay basis. DapDomains customers may decide to cancel their accounts at any time.
Refund is offered only for the VDS service if the cancellation request is made within 5 (five) days of purchasing/renewal/date of billing of the service, according to our Money Back Guarantee Policy. To cancel a service, the Customer needs to use a "cancel button" in his/her web hosting Control Panel. Any incentives (free bonuses, etc.) offered to the Customer upon sign-up will be also cancelled.
Domain name registrations/transfers, service upgrades, additional VDS services (ip, traffic) are treated as non-refundable services and cannot be cancelled or refunded after being activated upon customer request.
DapDomains offers a 5-day money back guarantee.
If, for any reason, you are dissatisfied with our VDS services, we will refund your hosting fees at any time to your account during the first 5(five) days after the purchasing/renewal/date of billing of the service. You can submit a refund request in a ticket from your web hosting Control Panel.
Domains are registered for a specific period of time and can be renewed.
We notify our clients about the ending date of their domain registration via email. A notification email is sent to domain's owner several times before the prepaid period ends and one time after domain's expiration.
We will notify the clients 30, 14, 7 days and each following day prior to domain's expiration as well as one time within 10 days after domain's expiration. The notification letter will include instructions about domain's renewal.
If the client won't renew the domain before its expiration date, domain can be deleted any time after the expiration date.
If the client has activated the "auto renewal" option, domain will be renewed for one year within 30 days before the prepaid period ends, considering there are enough funds on client's balance.
We tend to help our clients avoid accidental domain removing and because of that can but aren't obliged to offer AutoRenew Grace Period after the expiration of domain's renewal time.
AutoRenew Grace Period starts the next day after domain's expiration date.
At the moment we are trying to offer a grace period that lasts 35 days after domain expiration date. During this time clients can renew their domains.
The grace period is not guaranteed and can be changed or terminated at any time without any notification. Thus, to avoid domain cancellation, every client who wants to renew the domain should do that before it expires.
In case the domain is not renewed during the AutoRenew Grace Period, as stated above, we will be forced to cancel domain registration.
However, domain registrars may offer a service of restoring client's deleted domain. In our turn we can but are not obliged to offer our clients the possibility of restoring the deleted domain.
Such Redemption Grace Period — RGP is not guaranteed or mandatory. At the moment, domain catalogues provide restoring services for domains that are deleted not later than 30 days. If there's a technical possibility of restoring the domain name, the cost of such service is $100 plus the cost of one-year domain renewal according to current tariffs.
If domain is not restored during the Redemption Grace Period — RGP, it will go to "Pending Delete" mode for 5 more days. After 5 days domain and all the registration data assigned to it will be deleted and it will once again become available for registration.
If the domain name is a subject of a dispute according to Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy — UDRP and the registered period can expire or domain name may be deleted while the dispute continues, its owner can renew or restore the domain name but it will receive Registrar HOLD or Registrar LOCK status. Domain Whois will contain information that it is subject of a dispute. If the dispute ends or the arbitrator decides against the initiating party, domain will be deleted within 45 days.
