Discover Domain Privacy (WHOIS protection)
With Domain Privacy, Infomaniak allows you to preserve the confidentiality of your personal information (name, email address, postal address, and phone number) and effectively protect yourself against SPAM.
Preamble
- ICANN-accredited registrars are required to publish the owner's contact information for a domain in the public WHOIS directory, which lists all registered domains and primarily serves to:
- check the availability of domain names
- verify trademark infringements
- contact the owner of a domain in case of a legal issue
- For clients concerned about the confidentiality of their personal data and who do not wish to publicly display their email address, phone number, and postal address in the WHOIS directory, Domain Privacy allows you to hide these actual coordinates
- Thanks to this protection, WHOIS searches for your domain do not return your personal information, but the information of the partner Domain Privacy Trustee SA:
- You are protected against SPAM: marketing companies and individuals cannot use your personal data.
- You remain the full owner of your domain.
- It remains possible to contact you via a secure form that protects your identity.
