Designated Escrow Agent for Registrars
DENIC Services has been accredited by ICANN as one of two Designated Escrow Agents (DEA) for registrars worldwide.
Being one of only two Designated Escrow Agents in the world, DENIC Services is authorized to provide registrars of generic top level domains with the mandatory safeguarding of their business data (Registrar Data Escrow, RDE) in a cost-neutral manner. In addition, we are the sole European DEA that protects your data in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act.
As an ICANN-accredited registrar, you must faithfully store the domain data you manage in a secure environment, in accordance with ICANN regulations. This is to ensure the reliable management of the name space. For more information, see Section 3.6 "Data Escrow " of the ICANN Registrar Accreditation Treaty (ICANN registrar accreditation agreement).

Data Escrow for registries guarantees that a copy of the stored gTLD registration data is kept securely and protected by an independent third party. For more information, see the Specification 2 "Requirements for Data Escrow " in the ICANN contract for accreditation of registries (ICANN Registry Agreement).
