Blacknight is an Irish company and for any legal requests from government agencies/law enforcement outside of the Ireland, we require that the request be served via an Irish court or An Garda Síochána.
Blacknight collects personal information solely for the purpose of providing the services we offer and for billing and accounting purposes. At each point of collection, we will endeavour to provide full transparency as to the purpose, retention, transfer and use of such data. To protect your privacy, we will not distribute your name, email address, domain name, unless required to do so to comply with any applicable law, a summons, a search warrant, a court or regulatory order, or other statutory requirement, or where same is required in relation to the successful provision of services. Full details on our privacy policy can be obtained from blacknight.com/privacy
To request information for a site hosted on Blacknight, the site’s IP address and a date range must be specifically included in the request. We cannot process overly broad or vague requests. If your inquiry alerts us to a violation of our policies or Terms of Service, we will handle it via our usual abuse procedures, which may include contacting the user regarding their misconduct or suspending the site entirely.
The length of time data is retained varies depending on the type of data and actions of a user. Expired or cancelled subscriptions are generally destroyed within 30 days or sooner. Additionally, customers can destroy their data as they wish.
Before providing information to a non-account owner, we require a request signed by a Garda Superintendent or higher grade officer, warrant, or Irish court order, unless belief in good faith that there is an emergency involving death or serious physical injury.
Upon receipt of a valid request, we can provide user registration information such as the first and last names, phone number, email address, the date/time stamped IP address from which order was placed and account holder physical address. For domains where we are the registrar of record, we can provide whois details for the domain.
Here are some examples of data, which we are unable to provide:
As Irish law permits, we may disclose user information 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. Where possible all emergency requests should be sent via the Garda cyber crime bureau.
We will notify customers of any legal process regarding their account unless we are prohibited by LEA or court order from doing so.
Blacknight will preserve available account information and customer data, where feasible for 90 days upon receiving a request from An Garda Síochána, this may be extended for another 90 days upon request.
All requests should in the first instance be made in writing to abuse@blacknight.com and should include return contact details.
