Domain privacy (or WHOIS privacy) is a service offered by domain registrars to protect the personal information of domain owners. When you register a domain, your personal information (name, address, email, phone) is typically required to be part of the public WHOIS database, accessible to anyone.
With domain privacy enabled, the registrar replaces your personal information with proxy information, keeping your details private while still complying with ICANN requirements.

WHOIS databases contain registration information for domain names, including personal data of domain owners. With increasing concerns about privacy and the introduction of regulations like GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), many registrars now offer privacy protection services.
Domain privacy protection (also known as WHOIS privacy or private registration) is a service offered by most domain registrars. When enabled, the registrar replaces the domain owner's personal information in the public WHOIS database with proxy information, typically that of a privacy service provider.
This helps protect domain owners from:
The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has significantly impacted WHOIS data availability. Since its implementation in May 2018, many registrars have limited the personal information displayed in public WHOIS records, regardless of whether the domain owner has purchased privacy protection.
ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) has developed temporary specifications and is working on a permanent solution to balance privacy requirements with legitimate interests in accessing WHOIS data.
Despite privacy concerns, there are legitimate reasons for accessing WHOIS information, including:
For these purposes, accredited organizations can request access to non-public WHOIS data through various mechanisms being developed by ICANN and registrars.
