Abuse Reporting Procedures and handling.

Once we receive the abuse report through one of the listed channels, they are stored and made available to our staff. Within 24 hours, our staff will analyse the report, create a ticket with type "Abuse" which has a resolve time set. Twenty-four hours is the usual time window to expect a response from us regarding your abuse report unless the issue is more complex, in which case you will receive a "canned" response stating we are working on the abuse report. Every report will get a response, even if it is outside our technical or legal capabilities. All received abuse reports and our responses are kept for a minimum of two years.

Law Enforcement Guidelines

NetEarth One, inc. acts like a data processor concerning our customers who are usually independent data controllers. We use the data from the data controllers to register domain names as according to the data processing agreements as required by the EU GDPR.

We cannot provide registrant data without authorization from our customers as this would violate the data processing agreement required by the EU GDPR.
In such cases where you require registrant data or more, please contact us and we would be happy to put you in touch with the partner concerned. In case you need to request the data from us please observe the following guidelines.

We will require a court order or subpoena. Though we operate under British law, we are flexible here. It does however need to be in English so that it can be complied with. We do have the option to reject any court order that is outside our jurisdiction, but, generally speaking if the reasoning is sound, we will adhere to it.

Emergencies

The EU GDPR permits ( Art 6.1.D), registrant information disclosure to law enforcement without a warrant or court order when we believe that doing so without delay is necessary to prevent death or serious physical harm to an identifiable victim.
Information we might have available for LEA's;

We do not have any further information about registrants.
Billing records, https headers, IP addresses are not collected and or stored by us concerning registrants.
The same goes for records of session times and durations, and or registrants MAC addresses.

Inhope operates on a global level, and we recommend you report to them first.
Inhope engages with many organizations like https://report.iwf.org.uk/en

Trademark infringement (domain names)

NetEarth One supports the protection of intellectual property. However, NetEarth One is an administrative body and does not judge or adjudicate issues of dispute. If a registered domain does go to arbitration, please send any legal documentation (court filed or filed with an ICANN recognized arbitrator).
The best course of action is to go directly to http://icann.org/udrp and follow the instructions on how to file a Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) complaint.

Copyrights and infringement of copyrights

As NetEarth One does not provide hosting services we are not in a position to remove copyright infringing material like photo's or URLs on a forum that might link to illegally distributed movies.
In such cases, you should contact the hosting company or server owner so that the content can be removed.

WHOIS information, and how to request it

Due to the EU GDPR and other data protection laws, it is nearly impossible for us as a data processor to provide any parties WHOIS information (without written permission from the data controller) unless there is an emergency or if we are required to disclose WHOIS information due to a court order.
The best course of action is to contact the data controller (our customers), should you wish to know who they are, please complete the form at the URL above.

Response times

Please allow up to 5 working days for your request. As we prioritize the levels of abuse, we usually respond within a few hours depending on the priority.
NetEarth One reserves the right to make changes to any of the preceding practices at its sole discretion.
