notes:
Data Protection
JANET(UK) would like to make you aware that the information supplied for registering domain names under ac.uk and gov.uk will be held and processed in JANET(UK)'s databases. It will be made available as a matter of public record by electronic enquiries made to JANET(UK) and its whois servers. JANET(UK) will also share this information with other organisations and their legal advisers but only for the purpose of ascertaining who has registered Domain Names, but only after bona fide checks have been made of people making such enquiries.
Since it is anticipated that not everyone who completes the template for a domain name registration will be doing it on their own behalf, JANET(UK) would like to make it clear that when ISPs submit an application on someone else's behalf (ie. their customer), that they are making an offer to form a contract as agent for that person/organisation and therefore have authority from that person/organisation to do so.
JANET(UK)'s records will include the names and contact details of both the Administrative Contact and the Technical Contact for each registered domain name. This information (if it refers to individuals) is 'personal data' for the purposes of data protection legislation. JANET(UK) will hold and process this data for the purpose of managing and administering the registration of domain names. JANET(UK) will not enter into a contract for the registration of a chosen Domain Name unless applicants are aware of and agree to this condition.
Commercial enterprises in general, the legal profession and the Internet industry do not approve of the illegal appropriation of Domain Names by those who have no rights to them.
