At DreamHost, we care about your privacy, and we’re happy that CIRA does too! CIRA hides all personal information by default for Canadian citizens and other individuals, for free!

CIRA’s Privacy Policy allows for a written request to withhold the personal information of non-individual Registrants based on certain requirements, described further in the policy’s “WHOIS Information” section.
