UpdateDomainContactPrivacy - Amazon Route 53
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

UpdateDomainContactPrivacy

This operation updates the specified domain contact's privacy setting. When privacy protection is enabled, your contact information is replaced with contact information for the registrar or with the phrase "REDACTED FOR PRIVACY", or "On behalf of <domain name> owner."

Note

While some domains may allow different privacy settings per contact, we recommend specifying the same privacy setting for all contacts.

This operation affects only the contact information for the specified contact type (administrative, registrant, or technical). If the request succeeds, Amazon Route 53 returns an operation ID that you can use with GetOperationDetail to track the progress and completion of the action. If the request doesn't complete successfully, the domain registrant will be notified by email.

Important

By disabling the privacy service via API, you consent to the publication of the contact information provided for this domain via the public WHOIS database. You certify that you are the registrant of this domain name and have the authority to make this decision. You may withdraw your consent at any time by enabling privacy protection using either UpdateDomainContactPrivacy or the Route 53 console. Enabling privacy protection removes the contact information provided for this domain from the WHOIS database. For more information on our privacy practices, see https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/.
