How Do They Hide Domain's Owner Info Like This?

Yo

No you cannot...:
Registrant Email:
Select Contact Domain Holder link at https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=xxxxx

You can easily if you haven't selected whois protection, i have more than 5 domains with godaddy and none of them have whois protection and i can see email of all domains in godaddy whois.

I do not have whois protection on any domain and yet I cannot see it. Maybe you are logged in your account while looking your own domains? I will PM you domain to see for yourself.

Use who is to prevent your information from public , you can use privacy settings to prevent your info some providers provides free for privacy settings . Others you need to pay little amount for privacy information..

Woah the issue is that i can see emails of my domains even when i am logged out but i can't see yours. So there is some issue with my domains, everyone can see their emails.

Will whois privacy really do that? i thought whoisprivacy makes those fields say something to the effect of "hidden by proxy".
Never seen them ""Blank"". Spaces you would assume would be filtered on any form validation.
So, how do you achieve this? My guess...unicode.
Google "unicode blank character" to see what I mean
There are characters that are invisible. Some even take "zero width". Meaning their width is 0 pixels wide. But text parser will see it. U can place these sorts of characters inside a word to bypass word filters easily. Maybe in this case they are used to achieve what you're talking about.

The whois lookup can only show what the registrar sends, and some registrars choose to send no data at all for the name/address fields.

For example, here's the GoDaddy.com whois lookup on GoDaddy:
https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=godaddy.com

Here's the same lookup on ICANN:
https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=godaddy.com

And here's the same lookup on NameCheap:
https://www.namecheap.com/domains/whois/results.aspx?domain=godaddy.com

The GoDaddy.com lookup shows the full address and phone number, but every other whois provider shows nothing in those fields. It has nothing to do with the privacy service or null characters.

All the domains I've registered in the last few years have demanded to have real contact info. Even tried using fake info but didn't work, as they verify the actual address. But of course, after you enter the info, you can select the privacy option, and the WHOIS will show contact info for the domain registrar instead.

Have u tried "real" fake info? Go in google maps --> zoom in random area --> grab a real address.

I have. It didn't work with one registrar, but it did work with another. For the one it didn't work, it seems like they were using background check to verify my actual physical address. PO boxes weren't allowed either.

However, I will not use another persons contact info as it could get you in trouble with the law. At least here in the US it can. Also, ICANN has the power to take a domain from you and give it to somebody else. Not worth the trouble. Use real info. Set it to private and be done.
