Domain Privacy, also known as WHOIS privacy, is a service offered by domain registrars to protect the personal information of domain owners. When a domain is registered, ICANN requires registrars to collect the owner's personal information, such as name, address, phone number, and email, and list it in the WHOIS public database. Domain Privacy masks this information, replacing it with the information of a forwarding service, thus preventing it from being harvested by spammers, marketers, or other entities. It's an important tool for safeguarding personal information in the digital space.
