Enable WHOIS privacy
Updated June 4, 2026
WHOIS privacy keeps your personal contact details out of public registration lookups. Free GDPR redaction applies automatically where you are eligible; full Privacy Protection, which replaces your details with proxy values for everyone, is an optional paid add-on on extensions that support it.
- 1Open the domain in your dashboard.
- 2Toggle WHOIS privacy on.
- 3Save — your public record updates to show masked details.
Privacy does not remove the registry's own records or override lawful disclosure requirements, and some extensions do not support it. Where it is unavailable, ICANN's data-redaction policy still hides most personal fields by default.
