Privacy Proxy Service
A service that replaces your personal WHOIS data with generic proxy contact details to protect your identity.
A privacy proxy service replaces the registrant's personal contact information in WHOIS with the proxy company's details, protecting the registrant's identity from public view. When a third party (such as a trademark holder or law enforcement) needs the registrant's real identity, they must contact the proxy service. Under ICANN policies, proxy services must disclose registrant information in legitimate legal and abuse situations.
