We will look into and document all abuse reports that are sent to us. Where necessary, we may take measures if a breach of our terms of service is verified or when required if an activity contravenes the policies of ICANN or the relevant Registry. We may ask for more information from you about your report. However, please be aware that we might not be able to give you specific updates about your particular report due to privacy considerations. During our investigation, it might also be required for us to verify your complaint with our customer.

After submitting an abuse report, a ticket is generated in our centralized ticketing system to track reports. Each report has a unique ID, which is used for internal management purposes. After the investigation, this unique ID will be referenced to respond accordingly with our findings and any subsequent steps.

Examples of data requests include:
