registrantprovided

Registrantprovided is a term used in data management and domain registration to denote information that has been supplied directly by the registrant. It is contrasted with data that is inferred, derived, or supplied by an administrator, automated system, or third party. In practice, registrantprovided data often appears in registration records, account profiles, and related data schemas as fields such as name, organization, street address, city, postal code, country, phone number, and email address.

Within domain registration systems, registrantProvided can be used as a provenance marker—for example, a boolean flag indicating whether an entry originated from the registrant. This helps distinguish user-entered values from system-populated defaults or masked records. It is common for registrars to allow or require verification of registrant-provided contact details to comply with policy and regulatory requirements, and to enable direct communication with the registrant.

Privacy and data protection considerations: Some registrants may opt for privacy or proxy services, which separate the publicly visible data from the actual registrant-provided information. Registrant-provided data may be stored securely and subject to retention policies; sharing of such data is governed by applicable laws and the terms of service.
