Tucows offers a Tiered Access (TACO) platform where domain data that was previously public can be disclosed to authorized requesters. This will be provided in a secure manner, filtered by our Compliance team. Tucows will ensure that only those with legitimate purposes, including law enforcement, intellectual property, and commercial litigation interests, will have access to domain registrant information.
TACO disclosure notices
When domain name registration data is released to TACO users (requestors), we automatically notify the domain owner about the disclosure of their data. The requestor first has to be authorized in the TACO system before they can perform a lookup. When a lookup is completed, the notice will be automatically sent by email to the domain registrant.
Supporting TACO disclosure notice inquiries
Our support team will not have any information regarding the request made to TACO. Questions about why a domain’s registration data was looked up should be directed to the requestor, whose contact information is included in the TACO disclosure notice. The requestor's information will not be included if there’s a legal reason not to.
If Exact Hosting (as a reseller) has questions about compliance's operation of the TACO platform, we can contact the TACO team via tieredaccess@tucows.com.
