The personal data of customers, where necessary for the provision of Netsons' services, may be shared with suppliers based in countries outside the European Union that provide an adequate level of personal data protection , as deemed appropriate by the European Commission through its own decision, or based on other appropriate safeguards, such as the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission or with the data subject's consent.

PRIVACY POLICY FOR NETSONS SERVICES

Netsons services can only be purchased by registered users. The user, during registration and when purchasing services, undertakes to provide their personal data correctly and up-to-date.

Through the use of services provided by Netsons, the user may process the personal data of third parties. In this case, the customer (registered user) will be considered the data controller, assuming all the obligations and responsibilities provided for by the relevant regulations and ensuring that such processing is based on an appropriate legal basis pursuant to Article 6 of the GDPR. Therefore, the customer undertakes to provide Netsons with broad indemnity with respect to any dispute, claim, or request for compensation for damages resulting from processing related to the personal data of third parties.

DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION

Regarding the processing of personal data carried out in the context of domain name registration, the provision of personal data is optional, but in the absence of such provision, Netsons will not be able to provide the requested service.

The personal data of the domain name holder, for purposes strictly related to the provision of the service, is communicated to national and foreign registration authorities to whom Netsons is required to transmit the technical and administrative documentation required by sector regulations, as well as to any other accredited entities for domain name registration for extensions for which Netsons does not act as a Registrar. The Customer acknowledges that these entities process the data of the domain name holder as independent data controllers.

This sharing is necessary to complete the domain name registration process, and therefore the legal basis of the processing is the service contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

In addition, based on the policies of national registration authorities and/or based on the consent expressed during registration and/or renewal, personal data may be published, and therefore disseminated, on the public WHOIS database (https://lookup.icann.org/) containing the personal data of domain name assignees. With reference to this processing, we specify that ICANN acts as an independent data controller and Netsons has no control over the processing carried out by this entity.
