Are there legal ramifications with RegistrantSearch.com?

Can a company have information on an individual (in this case a list of domain names they own or have owned) and charge them for that information? Are there legal issues here? Do citizens have the right to know what information a company/website has on them?

Looking for responses from those with experience/law professionals.

Yep. Maybe. Yep.

Yep. Maybe. Yep.

Thanks for the reply Dave. I think a request to RegistrantSearch.com, from me, for information they have on my domains would go unanswered/quickly denied. I would guess there may be some precedent out there -- I'd also guess the precedent is unrelated to whois information.

Anyway, thanks.

Remember that Who Is info is Public Information.

If you use Private Registration then Domain Tools won't
know who you are.

.US domains do not allow privacy.
