Compliance & Data Protection

Relevant primarily to registry operators operating under GDPR or ICANN obligations.

GDPR compliance and registrant contact disclosure

FRED can be configured to restrict disclosure of registrant contact information, both to the general public and to other registrars. Registrars cannot access non-public information about objects they do not administer, supporting compliance with GDPR and similar data protection frameworks.

Registrant deduplication

FRED can automatically detect and merge registry contacts that share duplicate information. Manual merging is also supported for cases requiring operator review, accessible via the API or the Domain Browser interface.
