There is no such thing called 'Privacy' (dialogue from movie: Wolf of Wall
Street, AFAIK). Privacy is a myth. But, a simple 'whois' gives juicy info
about your registered domain (assuming that the provided info is true).
Then could you please educate me that where is the 'Privacy'?

I am asking out of curiosity. No other intention.

P.S. :- I also take precautions day-in and day-out to stay away from
tracking.
