AboutUs and DomainTools makes your whois Google-able

[Ms Naughty]

When I heard there were 3 other people in the town with the same name, I googled myself and the town name to see what would come up.

Unfortunately what did appear in the search results were several Whois listings for my domain names, complete with full name and address. These have been scraped from registrars and now appear on numerous sites like About Us, DomainTools, DomainQuery etc

This has kind of pissed me off. I was OK with having my real name on a domain registry since you had to make an effort to look it up. But with these sites coming up in Google, it's a whole lot easier for someone to stumble across my "real" identity. Not that I've hidden it terribly well, but still. Am I being unreasonable in feeling grumpy about this?

You can login and edit the Wikis of these sites. Problem is they've scraped a whole bunch of my domains.

They also happily steal your search terms.

Here's what About Us says about removing your address information:

Removing Your Address And Contact Information

* Simply log in, click the "edit" link, make your changes, and save them. If you require further help with this please contact us. One of the features of a wiki is that the historical information is retained. If you need the history removed for some reason, please email from an email address at the domain name in question and ask that we do so. We will be happy to take care of removing the history.
o As a note, domain ownership contact information (Whois) is publicly available at a number of other sites.
o In addition to this site, if you would like to prevent your information from showing up anywhere else, you may wish to contact your domain name registrar and purchase a privacy service which most of the majors domain name registrars have. That doesn't deal with historical information which may already be out there, but at least it deals with it on a go forward basis.
