Do you provide any domain privacy protection services?

The exportation of personal data outside the EU is regulated by the GDPR. GDPR is important because it improves the protection of European data subjects’ rights, and clarifies what companies that process personal data must do to safeguard these rights.

What is Whois and why do I need privacy protection for my domain?

Domain privacy protection tools allow you to mask the contact information in Whois, which you provided when registering your domain name.

Whois is an online public directory that maintains a record of all domain registrations. This includes domain registrant details, verifications, their expiry, renewal dates, and more.

Usually, domain registrants can add domain privacy protection during the registration with their domain registrar, often for an additional fee.

Our customers' security and safety are a top priority for us and that is why we are offering privacy protection for free.

What types of privacy do you offer?

We offer two types of privacy protection, the Domain Privacy provided by Withheldforprivacy.com, and the ability to redact your domain information in our Whois.

What is Domain Privacy provided by Withheldforprivacy.com?

Domain Privacy is a Whois protection service provided by the Withheld for Privacy company. It prevents people from seeing your name, address, phone number and email when they do a Whois search on your domain. It puts its address information to the public Whois instead of yours to protect you from potential spam and even identity theft.

Here is what the Whois output for the protected domain looks like:

Your personal email address(es) (registrant, admin and technical) will be replaced with a unique Withheldforprivacy.com one (http://whois.nicenic.net/?page=whoisform), and every email sent to it will be forwarded to your email address. 

Unfortunately, not all registries allow using the privacy protection tools. Here is a list of the TLDs Domain Privacy cannot be used with: .ad, .ca, .ch, .cn, .co.in, .co.uk, .com.au, .com.es, .com.sg, .de, .es, .eu, .fr, .gg, .id, .in, .is, .kyoto, .law, .li, .me.uk, .music,.net.au, .nl, .nom.es, .nu, .nyc, .org.es, .org.au, .org.uk, .paris, .sg, .to, .uk, .us, .vote, .voto, .xn--3ds443g domains.
