The GDPR Protection feature prevents your personal information from being displayed in the public WHOIS records. This feature is only available for domain names registered by users in the European Economic Area. You can look up GDPR on our blog here: https://goo.gl/5wbZpn

If the domain name’s associated contact details like Registrant,Admin,Billing and Tech Contact have an address which falls under European Economic Area, GDPR protect will automatically be enabled.

A domain name that has GDPR Protection can still choose to buy domain privacy protection, if the customer wants to be reached through the WHOIS inquiries. You can also disable GDPR Protection but only if it’s absolutely necessary as we would not advise you to it.
We regularly monitor domains which have GDPR protect enabled to see if the contact details are genuine and the service is not being exploited.
