Thank you for choosing GetYour.iD. This Privacy Policy explains how Digital Districts Pty Ltd, trading as GetYour.iD ("we", "us", "our"), collects, uses, discloses, stores, and protects your personal information when you access our website at www.getyour.id and use our products and services.
GetYour.iD is a domain name registrar and web services provider offering domain name registration, management, and related services across more than 700 domain extensions worldwide, including Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs such as .com, .net, .org), Country Code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs such as .id, .au, .cn), and New Top-Level Domains (nTLDs such as .online, .shop, .tech). We also provide web hosting services (Shared Hosting and VPS Hosting), SSL certificates, Google Workspace integration, WHOIS privacy protection, and DNS management.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data in compliance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable, ICANN's Registration Data Policy (effective 21 August 2025), and any other applicable data protection legislation in the jurisdictions in which we operate.
Our fundamental privacy principles are:
When you visit our website without creating an account, we automatically collect certain technical information through cookies, server logs, and similar technologies. This includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, referring website URL, pages visited on our website, date and time of access, and preferred language and currency settings.
When you create an account with GetYour.iD, we collect personal information necessary to establish and maintain your account. This includes your full name, organisation or company name (if applicable), postal address, email address, telephone number, and account password (stored in encrypted form). For customers purchasing products and services, we also collect billing information including credit card details and billing address. Please note that payment card information is processed by our payment gateway partner Stripe and is not stored on our servers.
Domain name registration is a regulated activity governed by ICANN policies for gTLDs and by the respective country code registry operators for ccTLDs. When you register, transfer, renew, or update a domain name, we are required to collect specific registration data elements as mandated by the applicable registry and ICANN's Registration Data Policy.
The registration data elements we collect include:
Under the ICANN Registration Data Policy (effective 21 August 2025), only the Registrant contact is mandatory for gTLD registrations. Administrative, Technical, and Billing contacts are now optional unless specifically required by the individual registry operator. The Registrant Organisation field, if populated, is treated by ICANN as the legal owner of the domain; if left empty, the named individual registrant is deemed the owner.
Domain name registration data has historically been published through the WHOIS protocol. As of January 2025, the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) has replaced WHOIS as the required lookup protocol for gTLD registrations. RDAP provides structured data responses over HTTPS with enhanced security, internationalisation support, and differentiated access controls.
Under the current ICANN Registration Data Policy, non-essential personal data is redacted by default from public RDAP/WHOIS queries for gTLD domains. Only limited registration data elements are publicly accessible, while full registrant details are disclosed only through authorised access channels in accordance with applicable laws and ICANN policies.
For ccTLD domains, the applicable registry operator determines what registration data is publicly available. Each ccTLD operates under its own national privacy framework, and the level of data redaction varies. For example, .id domains are governed by the Indonesian registry (PANDI) and Indonesian data protection laws, while .au domains are governed by the .au Domain Administration (auDA) and Australian privacy legislation.
If you subscribe to our web hosting services (Shared Hosting or VPS Hosting), SSL certificate services, Google Workspace integration, or logo design services, we may collect additional information necessary to provision and manage these services, including server configuration preferences, website content (as stored on our hosting infrastructure), and SSL certificate request data (such as domain validation details).
When you contact our customer support team, submit enquiries, or interact with us through email, telephone, or our website contact forms, we collect the content of those communications along with associated metadata (date, time, channel) to provide you with support and improve our services.
We process your personal information on the following legal grounds, as required under the GDPR for individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, and in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles for all users:
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We share your personal data only in the following circumstances:
When you register, transfer, renew, or update a domain name, we are contractually and legally required to transmit your registration data to the relevant registry operator. For gTLD domains, this data is also shared with ICANN in accordance with ICANN's Registration Data Policy. The specific data elements shared vary by TLD type:
When you purchase products and services, your payment card information and billing details are transmitted to our third-party payment processor to authorise and complete transactions. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers. Our payment processing partners through Stripe are PCI-DSS compliant.
We use trusted third-party hosting (e.g. HostGator) and Amazon AWS cloud infrastructure providers to deliver our services. Your data may be processed by these partners as necessary to operate our platform, subject to strict data processing agreements that ensure the confidentiality and security of your information.
If you opt in to our WHOIS Privacy service, we substitute your personal registration data with our proxy information in publicly accessible RDAP/WHOIS records. Your actual contact details are maintained securely in our systems and disclosed only in accordance with this Policy, applicable law, or through established relay mechanisms for legitimate communications.
Please note that WHOIS Privacy may not be available for all TLDs. Certain registry operators prohibit the use of privacy or proxy services, and in those cases your registration data will be displayed in accordance with the applicable registry's policies.
We may disclose your personal information where we reasonably believe it is necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request; to protect the safety, rights, or property of GetYour.iD, our customers, or the public; to detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues; or to respond to lawful requests for non-public registration data submitted through ICANN's established disclosure channels, including urgent requests as defined under the Registration Data Policy.
In connection with domain name disputes (such as proceedings under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP), Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS), or equivalent ccTLD dispute resolution processes), we may be required to share relevant registration data with approved dispute resolution providers, panels, and the parties involved.
GetYour.iD is an Australian-based company that provides services to customers worldwide. The nature of the domain name industry means that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence.

The security of your personal data is of paramount importance to us. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures designed to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
