When you change your address you can click a checkbox saying you want a protected name/address. This means that companies that have you as customers/clients won't be able to get the new address, mail won't be redirected, etc

I did it accidentally during my last move and it was a pain in the behind

And it expires after a year by default so it feels rather pointless

If you own a danish domain name (.dk), unless you have protected address, all your info is a whois lookup away. Example lookup of ft.dk (danish folketing).

This is why I've never posted anything from my own shitty website here. All of this is available from [myname].dk with my info on it. Also it's horrifying that our government is restricting access to its website behind fucking CloudFlare.

EDIT: I didn't redact anything from the lookup, this is the exact data I received.
