<p>What is displayed is Nameservers, the Registrant Organisation and
location of the organisation. If that's too much for you - then
ask your Registrar or reseller to put in their information for
those fields. As long as its your name and e-mail address as
Registrant - the domain is under your control.</p>
<p>What I see for alex.africa is:-<br>
Registrant Organization: N A<br>
Registrant State/Province: South Africa<br>
Registrant Country: ZA</p>
<p>... and even there I have a feeling alex.africa is not in South
Africa?<br>

<div dir="ltr"><span>Dear All, </span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>I was curious about how ICANN’s new privacy/GDPR
guidelines are filtering down to .Africa?</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>I am renewing domains (.Africas), and decided I
don’t want to or need to buy WHOIS privacy protection.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Am I safe in this assumption?</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Are there any ICANN wonks who can advise?</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>I am referring to the following specs:</span><br>
