By default, some WHOIS data can be seen by anyone. Privacy protection lets you hide your personal details.
What the protection does
It replaces your visible personal details with proxy details. You stay the owner of the domain, while your details stay away from spammers and phishing attempts.
Good to know
- Protection reduces spam and unwanted calls.
- It does not change who really owns the domain.
- Some extensions do not allow hiding all the details.
- Official authorities can still reach the details when needed.
