This document specifies the<br>privacy policy for the Regional Internet Registry handling Internet number<br>resources in the AfriNIC service region.<br><br>1. Introduction<br><br>Privacy is the ability of an individual to be left alone, out of public view,<br>and in control of information about oneself. AfriNIC, as a Regional Internet<br>Registry, manages and administers Internet number resources for the AfriNIC<br>service region. It publishes information about Internet number resources on the<br>Internet. This
document specifies the privacy policy for the Internet<br>Registry.<br><br>Any restriction mentioned in this document is not applicable to data which<br>is publicly available, e.g. data provided through a service accessible<br>anonymously over the Internet.<br><br>2. Data Minimization<br><br>The principle of data minimization has been adopted to limit the collection<br>and/or transfer of Personal Identifiable Information (PII) to what is<br>directly relevant and necessary for specified, explicit and legitimate<br>purposes. Information about whether any data is adequate, relevant and<br>not excessive in relation to the purposes for which it is collected and/or<br>transferred shall be made available to any person who is part of the Policy<br>Development Working Group for the AfriNIC service region.<br><br>The Regional Internet Registry shall not collect under any circumstances<br>Personal Identifiable Information from an applicant of Internet
number<br>resources which can be used to identify more than a quarter of the users<br>to which an applicant has allocated IP address space. This is a maximum<br>amount and not guidance about the amount of data considered as excessive.<br><br>2.1. Data Retention<br><br>The retention period for Personal Identifiable Information is three months.<br>Personal Identifiable Information necessary for financial purposes; e.g.<br>billing, can be retained for up to twelve months after the end of a<br>Registration Service Agreement.<br><br>Personal Identifiable Information published for Internet number resources<br>allocations or assignments can be retained for the historical record if<br>the data was publicly available for at least a month.<br><br>2.2. Transfer of Personal Identifiable Information<br><br>Personal Identifiable Information cannot be transferred to another country<br>unless there is a publicly available assessment of:<br><br> (a) the nature of
the Personal Identifiable Information<br><br> (b) the purpose and duration of the proposed processing of the<br> Personal Identifiable Information<br><br> (c) the country of origin and country of final destination<br><br> (d) the rules of law in force in the country in question<br><br> (e) any relevant rules and security measures which are complied with<br> in that country<br><br>3. Personal Identifiable Information Transfer Register<br><br>A Personal Identifiable Information Transfer Register will be maintained<br>with the following information:<br><br> (a) date of transfer of the Personal Identifiable Information<br><br> (b) nature of the Personal Identifiable Information<br><br> (c) purpose of the proposed processing of the Personal Identifiable<br> Information<br><br> (d) country of origin and country of final destination<br><br>The Personal Identifiable
Information Transfer Register shall be published<br>through a service accessible anonymously over the Internet. Personal<br>Identifiable Information required for financial purposes is exempted from<br>publication.<br><br>4. Personal Identifiable Information Leakage<br><br>In the event of Personal Identifiable Information leakage, a notification<br>shall be sent to the Resource Policy Discussion mailing list within a day<br>of the detection of the leakage together with an explanation about the<br>nature and extent of the leakage.<br><br>Regards,<br>S.
