When registering an international, foreign or New gTLD domain, you specify the name of the organization, as well as the postal address, email address and phone number.
At the request of the ICANN Corporation, which manages the Internet address space, the entered contact information is entered into the publicly available Whois database of registered domains. The Whois database was created to enable communication with domain owners, therefore it is publicly available.
The Whois Privacy Protection service is designed to protect the personal information of Domain Administrators that is displayed in the public Whois database.
The service allows you to hide the data of the administrator of the domain names .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .name, .xxx, .cc, .tv, .me, .pw, .pro, for third-level domain names in domains .uk.com , .us.com , .cn.com , .radio.am , .radio.fm as well as new domains (New gTLDs) at the stage of open registration.
When connecting the service, the Administrator data specified during domain registration (contacts such as Registrant-c, Admin-c, Bill-c, Tech-c) will be replaced with registrar data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I provide fictitious data?
Entering false information into the Whois database is considered a violation — your domain name may be blocked.
What am I risking by not restricting access to contact information?
Your data can be viewed not only by bona fide users, but also by intruders — for use for illegal purposes (for example, for spam mailings or domain theft).
How can I be contacted if I hide my data?
With data protection from the Management Center, you will stay in touch: we will deliver messages to you that arrive at your address through the changed Whois contacts.
What should I do if a domain with hidden contact information is used for illegal purposes?
If the owner of the domain for which the contact data protection service is enabled uses it for illegal purposes (for example, to send spam or infringe legal trademark rights), write to us about it at support@whoisproxy.ru .
