For instance, when you wish to transfer a domain name to another registrar, you may need to display your email address in the Registrant contact information, so the gaining registrar can obtain it to initiate the transfer authorization process.
Follow the steps below to disable the GDPR Protection for your domain name.

2. Click in Domains > My Domains
3. Choose the domain and click Manage Domain
4. Once inside the domain dashboard, click on Manage Data Protection in the left panel
5. Now click to enable or disable the Data Protection button
An email will be sent to the domain’s Registrant contact to authorize the request. You can resend this email by clicking on the Resend authorization email link.
Note
The Registrant must authorize the request to disable GDPR Protection within 5 days. If the Registrant does not complete the authorization, the WHOIS Privacy will remain enabled for the domain name.
