ICANN regulations require that information about the owners of all generic top-level domains (also known as extensions or domain endings), must be displayed in the Whois database. However, as users have become more concerned about the privacy of their personal data, and due to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Whois information for all domain names registered with Gandi is hidden.
In order to protect the private data of our customers and in accordance with the regulations mentioned above, all personal data in our “Whois” tool, particularly the first and last name of the domain name owners, are hidden.
