When you register a domain, ICANN requires you to provide up-to-date personal information, including your name and contact details. By default, this information is made publicly available in the WHOIS database.

Privacy Protection keeps your contact details hidden from public view, helping protect you from identity theft, spam, and domain hijacking. We recommend keeping it enabled to protect your personal information.

To disable Privacy Protection, log in to your account.

1. Open your browser and navigate to the website or platform where you purchased your domain

2. Locate and click the Login button, typically found in the top-right corner or in the menu

3. Enter your email address (used for registration) and password

4. Click Log in or Sign in (depending on the platform)

5. Once logged in, click Account or My Account (depending on the platform), usually in the top-right corner or in the menu

You have successfully logged in.

1. Find your domain under Your domains and click the Manage button (you can also search for your domain using the Search icon)

2. Under the Overview tab, scroll to the Contact details section

3. Locate the Privacy Protection toggle and switch it from Enabled to Disabled

4. Click Disable anyway to confirm

Privacy Protection is now disabled.

Note: Once disabled, you can enable Privacy Protection anytime before it expires at no extra cost. After it expires, you’ll need to buy it again to continue using it.
