Searchable Whois Policy

Purpose and Scope

Identity Digital Inc. (“Identity Digital”) provides a searchable Whois service to authorized users through a web-based interface.  Search capabilities for the Identity Digital searchable Whois meet or exceed requirements of each Identity Digital TLD Registry Agreement.

Restricted Access

Identity Digital limits access to its searchable Whois service to authorized users with a legitimate purpose for searching registration data (e.g., investigation of terrorism or cybercrime by federal or international law enforcement agencies investigating potential criminal activity).  Identity Digital will grant access on a case-by-case basis, typically to data for one Identity Digital TLD; however, Identity Digital may in its discretion provide access to data for more than one Identity Digital TLD.  All access to and use of the searchable Whois service will be of limited duration and may be recorded by Identity Digital.  Results from queries to the searchable Whois service may not be published without Identity Digital prior written permission. To request access to the Identity Digital searchable Whois service, email: legal@identity.digital. Once Identity Digital has granted access, searches can be made at: https://searchwhois.donuts.co.

Anti-Abuse of the Searchable Whois Service

By accessing Whois information through the searchable Whois service, the user agrees to use the Whois data for the purposes specified (e.g., only to investigate suspected criminal activity) and not to use Whois data to:

  • abuse the Whois service by issuing a query that essentially returns the entire database in the result set;
  • attempt to run large quantities of queries sufficient to reduce the performance of the registry database; or
  • use the searchable Whois service for personal queries.
