WHOIS: As shown by the board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and NumbersICANN) failed to get an exception from GDPR for the WHOIS tool. WHOIS is a huge database of who owns domain names.
Although ICANN reportedly filed a lawsuit (last week) demanding it data collection από τους καταχωρητές domain ο GDPR ισχύει πλέον στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση και μέχρι να εκδικαστεί η υπόθεση όλες οι εταιρείες που συλλέγουν ακόμα data for WHOIS are illegal. 
So under the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), today we received an email from a domain registrar in Greece that explicitly states:
...no personal information or contact information of the owner of a domain name will appear in the results search WHOIS. This change makes the use of ID Protect unnecessary. So the ID Protect service is going to be phased out.
Auto-renewal of the ID Protect service is to be disabled in the near future. None are required energy by you, ID protect will be deactivated upon expiry and your details will continue to be protected automatically.
Let us be aware that WHOIS data collection practices were one of the gray areas of the law. GDPR requires organizations to collect only as much data as is needed for a specific business purpose, and no more. Thus, data that mentions the administrative and technical manager of an email is now prohibited from being freely published on the internetnetwork.
Thus, the services of concealment of these data by registrars are no longer meaningful. Please be reminded that anonymity services were additionally charged.
Due to uncertainty about what is going to happen, some European DNS registrars have decided not to collect WHOIS information anymore.
