[[Domain Privacy]] is a service provided by [[registrars]] that prevents registrants' information from being listed in the [[WHOIS]] database. Registrars most commonly provide anonymity to the registrant by registering domains by proxy, listing the companies details in the WHOIS and providing a forwarding service.  

[[ICANN]] requires that each registered domain provides contact information, including name, address, email, phone numbers and administrative and technical contents. Proxy services enable registrants' to meet this requirement and maintain anonymity.
