Domains By Proxy

Domains by Proxy is an Internet company owned by Go Daddy founder Bob Parsons. It offers domain privacy services through partner domain registrars such as Go Daddy and Wild West Domains.

Subscribers list Domains by Proxy as their administrative and technical contacts in the Internet's WHOIS database, thereby delegating responsibility for managing unsolicited contacts from third parties and keeping the domains owners personal information safe from the public eye.

The Domains by Proxy service is not a legal obligation, however, and registrant's personal information can be released in some cases, such as a legal subpoena or cease and desist, or for other reasons as deemed appropriate by DBP per its Domain Name Proxy Agreement section 4, without limited requirements to notify the registrant about such disclosures (see section 5):

4. DBP's rights to deny, suspend, terminate service and to disclose your personal information You understand and agree that DBP has the absolute right and power, in its sole discretion and without any liability to You whatsoever, to either: i.

Required by law, in the good faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the law; B. To comply with a legal process served upon DBP; or C. In order to comply with ICANN rules, policies or procedures iii. Resolve any and all third party claims, whether threatened or made, arising out of Your use of a domain name registered by DBP on Your behalf;
