The online space has seen an enormous growth in the past few years, and today, mostly everyone owns a domain name. When you register a domain name, you are obliged to provide personal information as the domain name owner. This information is publicly available once your domain name goes live. This is where Privacy Protect comes in to play.
Protect Your Online Identity
Privacy Protect is a WHOIS privacy service which is used to protect confidential information of domain owners. This protects the registrant from having their personal contact information displayed to the public. Whenever you register a domain your contact information associated with that domain is displayed in the WHOIS database.

What is Privacy Protect?
• If your domain has privacy protection services then your personal contact details will not be displayed in the public WHOIS database.
• Domain privacy helps protect you primarily against spammers or identity thieves who would use your personal information for personal gain or unsolicited purposes.

When you enable Privacy Protection on a domain name, BigRock replaces all your publicly visible contact details with alternate contact information, so that when a WHOIS query is performed on the domain, an alternate mailing address, email address and phone number are displayed.
Requests to view your information are directly sent to you (the domain owner) and you can decide whether you would want to share your details or not.
