Starting from 1st of October privacy and proxy services are no longer permitted for .nl domains.
This new policy forbids the registration of .nl domain names under a third party. Consequently, registrars or resellers of .nl domain names will be contacted to provide information about existing domains.
In line with these changes, FlokiNET will require the following data when placing an order for a .nl domain:
- Name
- Address
- Phone number
These changes are part of a broader shift in the domain name industry driven by Article 28 of the new Network Information Security Directive ('NIS2').
Unfortunately, this new privacy law will have future implications for all countries in the European Union. In the future all individuals seeking to register a country domain from the EU will need to provide their personal data as part of the registration process.
