WHOIS Privacy Policy

Posted on 2025-06-27 Updated on 2025-06-27

Effective Date: 1-April-2025

Last Updated: 1-April-2025


1️⃣ Introduction

This WHOIS Privacy Policy describes how [Your Company Name] manages the privacy and protection of registrant information associated with domain names registered through our services. By opting for WHOIS Privacy Protection, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

2️⃣ What is WHOIS Privacy Protection?

When a domain name is registered, certain registrant contact details (such as name, address, phone number, and email) are published in the public WHOIS database.

WHOIS Privacy Protection is a service that masks this personal information by replacing it with generic or proxy contact details provided by [Your Company Name] or its privacy partner.

3️⃣ Information We Replace

Without privacy protection, the following details are publicly visible in WHOIS:

Registrant Name

Registrant Organization

Address

Phone Number

Email Address

With WHOIS Privacy enabled, these are replaced with proxy details to shield the registrant’s identity.

4️⃣ When WHOIS Privacy Can Be Applied

WHOIS Privacy is available for most generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) and select Country Code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs).

Certain domain extensions (like .in, .us, .gov, .edu) do not permit WHOIS Privacy as per registry rules.

5️⃣ Limitations of WHOIS Privacy

WHOIS Privacy is a value-added service and may involve an additional annual fee.

WHOIS Privacy does not anonymize data from legal authorities, courts, or regulators upon valid request.

WHOIS Privacy does not protect domain ownership against disputes or claims.

6️⃣ Data Disclosure Scenarios

We may disclose the actual registrant information to:

Law enforcement agencies upon valid legal request.

Domain Dispute Resolution services (such as UDRP, INDRP cases).

Registries and ICANN authorities for compliance purposes.

If the domain is used for illegal, harmful, or abusive activities.

In all other cases, registrant data remains masked through the privacy service.

7️⃣ Responsibilities of the Registrant

Maintain accurate and updated contact information in the client area, even when WHOIS Privacy is active.

Respond promptly to any messages or legal notifications relayed through the proxy email address.

8️⃣ Termination of WHOIS Privacy Service

WHOIS Privacy Protection will be terminated if:

The domain expires or is deleted.

The registrant cancels the privacy service.

Required by registry or legal regulations.

Once removed, original registrant information will be published in the WHOIS database.

9️⃣ Changes to This Policy

[Your Company Name] reserves the right to modify this WHOIS Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on our website, and continued use of our services implies acceptance of the revised terms.
