How We Disclose Your Personal Data We share your personal data as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and as permitted by applicable law. We may disclose your personal data as described below. With Our Service Providers. We may share your personal data with service providers acting on our behalf to help us operate our Services. Service providers provide us with support services, including: website hosting services; analytics services; network maintenance providers; payment processors such as PayPal or Stripe; fraud, abuse, and intrusion prevention services; companies that we contract to contact you on our behalf; customer relationship management services; surveys and contest management services; and AI-assisted customer support services. These third parties can only use your personal data in accordance with our written instructions. Within Our Corporate Organization. We may share your personal data within our organization, to provide you with the Services and take actions based on your request, such as our parent company, subsidiaries, and corporate affiliates, joint venturers, or other companies under common control with us. Business Partners, Sponsors, and Other Third Parties. Subject to applicable law, we may disclose your personal data to business partners, co-sponsors of promotions, and other third parties in order to provide you with services that may interest you, for permitted marketing purposes, or for co-sponsored events based on your voluntary participation.

With Professional Advisors. We may disclose your personal data to our professional advisors—including lawyers, auditors, accountants, insurers, and similar consultants—when such disclosure is necessary for them to provide us with their professional services, to comply with our legal or financial obligations, or to protect or enforce our rights. During Business Transaction or Other Asset Transfers. We may disclose your personal data with another company that buys some, or all, of our assets in a merger, acquisition, sale, bankruptcy and that company may use and disclose personal data for purposes similar to what is described in this Privacy Policy. We may also disclose personal data with prospective purchasers to evaluate the proposed transaction. For Legal Compliance & Safety. We may access, preserve, and disclose your personal data if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to (i) comply with law enforcement requests and legal processes, such as a court order or subpoena; (ii) comply with requests from auditors, examiners or other regulators; (iii) exercise, establish or defend our legal rights; (iv) protect your, our, or others’ rights, property or safety; or (v) comply with requests from our industry regulator, ICANN. With Public Registries and Data Escrow Providers via Registration Data. We may disclose your contact information in public registries via industry data registration protocol, with your consent or when required by the policies of such registry. We may also share your contact information with data escrow providers if Porkbun is required to share such data by contract as an extra security/stability measure to protect your domain registration. Except for TLDs that do not support it (for example, country code Top-Level Domains), Porkbun will not publish any of your personal data to Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) unless you give us permission to do so, or we are required to do so by the policies of a given registry. We will notify you, at the point of purchase, if disclosure is required. Our regulator, ICANN requires registries to redact your personal data in public RDAP results, however Porkbun cannot guarantee their compliance. If you subscribe to the domain privacy service, except on TLDs that do not support it your personal data is redacted from public RDAP, however some registries may still require submission of your personal data but have agreed not to publish it. You can enable or disable the domain privacy setting from your Domain Management page. Note that disabling this setting may disclose your contact information in public RDAP and registry databases. Your personal data may also be shared with contracted data escrow providers for extra security/stability measures and, if required, with our regulator, ICANN. With Your Consent. We may share your personal data with other companies if you give us permission or direct us to share your information, such as listing your personal data in the Registration Data registry. 5.
