Disclosing personal information when registering a domain name

Is there some way to protect my personal information when registering
a domain name?

I am mainly concerned about my phone number and address. I use an
email rerouter, so I'm not as concerned about the email address.

Thanks

Godaddy offers a privacy service for most TLDs. I am sure some other
registrars do as well.

There must be some policy on this.

If I query Whois for microsoft.com, google.com, or yahoo.com, I get an
error message:

The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

Some registrars, like eNom.com, offer an ID protection service. They
basically display their information in the WHOIS database, but keep yours on
file in case there is a need.

I use a Post Office Box for my address (not just for domain
registrations, most of my mail goes to my POB).

I do receive some mail relating to domain registrations and other
internet services, but it's not much. After all, unlike email, it
costs the sender real money to send snail mail.

I've yet to receive a phone call that I suspect is related to my
domain registrations. All of my phone numbers are on the U.S.
National Do Not Call list.

Hmmm... I do, too, now. But not for Microsoft.com. I got errors when I
tried earlier.
