When you register a domain name, your personal information including your name, email, phone number, and address is required by ICANN to be listed in the public WHOIS database. Without protection, this data is visible to anyone online. That’s where Domain Privacy comes in. It shields your sensitive details and keeps your online presence secure.

What Is Domain Privacy?

Domain Privacy (also called WHOIS Privacy) is a service that replaces your personal contact information with generic details from a privacy provider. Instead of exposing your real email or phone number, the WHOIS record shows anonymized data, keeping you safe from unwanted attention.

Without privacy, your name, address, and email would be exposed. With privacy, they’re replaced by a provider.

Why Do You Need Domain Protection?

• Protect your identity: Prevent identity theft and keep your personal data out of public reach.
• Block spam and scams: Avoid unsolicited emails, calls, and phishing attempts targeting new domain owners.
• Reduce marketing harassment: Spammers often scrape WHOIS records to target website owners with ads and sales pitches.
• Peace of mind: With privacy enabled, you control who can reach you and how your information is shared.

Domain Privacy also hides admin contact details, preventing spammers from reaching you.

Peace of Mind: Full Coverage

Domain Privacy doesn’t just protect the owner and admin. It also covers technical contacts. This ensures all points of contact are shielded.

Technical contact details are also anonymized, giving complete protection.

Domain Privacy and GDPR

If you’re in the EU, GDPR automatically redacts some WHOIS data. But for most registrants worldwide, Domain Privacy is the only way to ensure your details remain hidden. Even with GDPR, onward sharing with registries may still occur. Privacy services stop this.
