WHOIS GDPR COMPLIANCE FOR .CH DOMAINS

Since 1 January 2021, personal data associated with registered domain names are no longer disclosed in public WHOIS service .
Information about Registrants of domain names can only be obtained from nic.ch in exceptional cases.

Access to the holder's personal data of a domain name is only granted on request, provided that the claimant individual or organisation proves their identity and substantiates an overriding legitimate interest in the requested data.

Whether an overriding legitimate interest exists is determined on a case-by-case basis. A legitimate interest may exist if, for example:

  • a holder or technical contact of the domain name wishes to review the current entry
  • a domain name infringes trademark rights
  • the content of a website infringes copyright or personality rights
  • an authority requires the data to fulfil statutory responsibilities.
