That is a bit of a worry. Not sure what to do. I tried mine and lucky for me nothing.

Your domain provider may charge a fee for WHOIS Opt-Out, but your Name, Address and Contacts will be removed. Remember search engines may have a cached copy.

Alternate options:
Create a new Email Account.
- Head over to Outlook.com to create a new email account and use the Alias account options to use on different sites.
- Transfer any sites/logins used by that email to your new account or alias Outlook.com account.
- Never share your Alias accounts with anyone, except the site you're using it on.
