Turn privacy protection on and off

When you turn on privacy protection for your domain, a privacy provider’s contact information replaces the registrant’s personal contact information in the WHOIS directory. If you turn off privacy protection, the registrant’s personal contact information is available to the public in the WHOIS directory. Learn more about privacy protection.

Due to the publication policies set by AFNIC, the following applies to .fr domain names: 

• Domain names ending in .fr are not eligible for privacy protection.
• Contact information for individual registrants is hidden in the WHOIS directory, unless you make your information public.
