Yes, this protection of personal data is possible for private individual holders (natural persons). It is up to the Registrar in charge of your domain name to apply, by default and without charge, restricted publication of your personal data. The personal data (name, address, telephone, etc.) that you provided upon registration are recorded but are replaced by the mention “Restricted publication, non-public data” on the form corresponding to your domain name in the Whois directory. These contact details are accessible upon express request with reasons, to Afnic’s Legal Department and on certain conditions. Please note that this restricted publication of personal data does not apply to business contact details provided by the representative of a legal entity (holder, administrative contact or technical contact) or to individuals who have voluntarily chosen to have their data published (choice made when registering their domain name with their Registrar).
