    Hi! I have been getting spam calls on my ******** number ever since I got domain service from you. This is really frustrating and Im not sure why my information was sold without my consent. This is a serious breach of my privacy and since no action has been taken from your end. There has been a serious breach in privacy policy and these guys have sold my information to people without my knowledge and now they keep calling me every single day for selling. I regret purchasing your services ever. I have earlier purchased domain from ******* and never faced this issue. Your company is a big time fraud that sells personal information of clients.

    Hi Vishal. First and foremost, know that WHC values the privacy and security of its clients' information above all. We do not sell or share our clients' data with any third parties. The reason why you are targetted by those spam calls probably stems from when you first purchased your domain. As we discussed, it was not protected by domain privacy protection. For certain domain extensions (e.g. .COM) at registration, the registrant's contact information becomes publicly available via the ***** database if the registrant doesn't buy ID protection. ***** is accessible to the public and spammers know and use it as a database. This is standard practice across the domain registration industry and is not specific to WHC. Unfortunately, once your information is public, it's harder to control spams. Although you added domain privacy protection shortly after your registration, this measure only hides your information in future ***** searches and does not remove previously collected data. This probably explains the continued spam. Our team already communicated with you the steps to follow that will help manage this situation and further protect your privacy. We regret any frustration this has caused and are here to assist further if needed. Thank you for your understanding.
