What Whois shows about you

Domain registrant name
Mailing address and phone
Email address

After you opt out

Search your name on the site again in a private browser window to confirm the listing is gone.
Opt out of related sites separately; one request rarely covers every brand.
If Google still shows the old page, use Google’s Refresh Outdated Content tool once the listing is removed.
Re-check every few months, because profiles can reappear when databases refresh.

Why is my home address in WHOIS?

If you registered a domain without privacy protection, your registration details may have been published. Most registrars now redact personal data, but historical WHOIS sites can keep old copies.
