At the top of the domain configuration screen is an option to set 'Privacy proxy' to 'Active' or 'Inactive'

Enwau's easy-to-use privacy proxy settings

Click on the edit button and choose 'Active' to hide your private information from public WHOIS records, and choose 'Inactive' to display your domain name ownership and management information.

Note: Active privacy proxy records are replaced by registrar or reseller information by default. Note also, that statutory laws require registrars to reveal domain name ownership information to anyone making a reasonable request, such as law enforcement and brand protection organisations, but strictly not for marketing or resale purposes
