Privacy Protection Services for a domain

Defining Privacy Protection

 
When you Register a domain name with Bigrock, the Whois of your domain name lists your personal information (such as Name, Company Name, Address, Telephone Number, Email Address) as Contact Details for that domain name. This information becomes available to anyone who performs a Whois lookup of your domain name.
Your personal information is, therefore, at risk of being manipulated by data miners, who can then target you via junk email, prank telephone calls, postal messages, fax messages, etc.
Using Bigrock's Privacy Protection service, you may immediately put a stop to such abuse. When you enable this service for your domain name, we replace your Contact Details in the Whois information with our generic contact details, thus, masking your personal contact details.
