Every registered domain has a public WHOIS record. Privacy replaces your name, email, phone and address there with neutral details, while messages meant for you still reach you.
Privacy is added to a domain when you register or transfer it. Search for your domain to get started — we will tell you if its extension does not allow privacy.
