Typically, PageRank Kings or BISTRO BUDDY, through its sister operating division OpenSRS, will publish your registered domain name and your geographical territory in the Whois database. We also may provide a webform or pseudo-anonymized email to allow users of the Internet to contact the registrant of the domain name. In some ccTLDs, you may be required to provide additional information which will be shown in the public whois database; if so, these additional data fields will be described to you at the time of registration.
Many Registries allow for the use of Whois Privacy services, but many others do not. Support (or lack of support for) Whois Privacy is noted during the checkout process and also noted in the PageRank Kings or BISTRO BUDDY dashboard when viewing the details for each domain you own.
It may be useful to note that the term "Whois Privacy" is a term common in the domain industry to denote services that help you keep your personal information out of the Whois database. It is also important to know that PageRank Kings or BISTRO BUDDY doesn't guarantee any level of privacy associated with the use of this feature.
Your personal information is still known to people at our company with a need to access account and registration data. It also may be available in the future should you ever disable this function on your domain name(s). It should not be viewed as a "Registration Anonymizing" service in any way. We reserve the right to remove privacy and restore your contact data in the event of a dispute or a violation of our terms of service.
