What is WHOIS privacy protection?

WHOIS privacy (also called domain privacy or proxy registration) replaces the owner's name, address, email and phone in the public registration record with the details of a privacy service. It reduces spam and protects personal information while keeping the domain fully functional.

How to check whether a domain uses WHOIS privacy

  1. Enter the domain in the box above.
  2. Click Check Privacy.
  3. See whether the registrant details are redacted or replaced by a privacy service.
  4. For a personal domain, turn privacy on at your registrar - many include it free of charge.

The checker reads the domain's public registration record over RDAP and looks in the registrant details for the signs of a privacy or proxy service, such as "Redacted for Privacy", WhoisGuard, Domains By Proxy or Contact Privacy. Protected means the owner's personal contact details are hidden or replaced by the service's own; not protected means the registrant fields appear to contain real contact data. Since GDPR, many registrars redact personal data by default, so a protected result does not necessarily mean the owner bought a privacy add-on. The check only works for TLDs whose registry offers RDAP. JustChecker tracks your domain's registration status continuously and alerts you before it expires.

Frequently Asked Questions

Public details attract spam, scam calls about "expiring listings" and phishing. Privacy replaces them with the registrar's forwarding details, and most registrars include it free.

Most can. A few country extensions don't allow it or always hide individual details by law, so results vary by extension.

Yes. Registrars provide a forwarding email or web form, so genuine enquiries about your domain still reach you.
