The Internet Coalition for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) requires that contact information for the owner of a domain be made publicly available through the WHOIS record. This information includes the owner's name, address, and telephone number.
That policy enables anyone, including spammers and direct marketers, to search examine personal information about domain owners.
When our customers add privacy protection to their domain, we will replace the customer's personal information with generic Webhero information.
DOMAIN WHOIS PRIVACY SERVICE CONDITIONS
1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
The Whois Privacy Service hides the contact details of the actual owner from appearing in the Whois lookup for the domain name.
