WHOIS Privacy replaces your contact details in a domain’s public registration record with an anonymous proxy identity. It is included at no cost on every DNSimple plan, for TLDs that support it. Support is set by the registry, so it varies by TLD. This page is the starting point for WHOIS Privacy documentation.
