It says I own 86 domains but is using my given names and not my email address. My name is not unique. Hardly a valuable service. I own less than 10 for the record.

#93What’s interesting is that it correctly finds Namecheap whois-guarded domains too. If I search for the guarded domain directly it shows the correct record as the owner’s address/etc being WhoisGuard, but then if I search for a non-guarded domain and click through from the identified name, it does list the guarded domains as well (!)

#94Earlier quoted context omitted.
"The right to erasure" is not an absolute right for anyone to get all their data deleted. If the data owner (read: the registrars) still have a legal right to collect and maintain the data public and it has not been revoked one could argue that they (security trails) don't have to remove the data. It's my understanding that the registrars are the ones with the burden here. They need to inform everyone of the data era…
>one could argue that they (security trails) don't have to remove the data. It doesn't work that way. The "right to be forgotten" can be used to remove search results from Google, even if the original content stays up.
Interesting! From a quick google the following wikipedia citation seems to what you are referring to:
Grounds for removal include cases where the search result(s) "appear to be inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant or excessive in the light of the time that had elapsed."[1]
Under GDPR, Security trails (company or person that operates it) could be classified as a "Data controller" [2] and then would of course be liable to delete information gathered about a person upon request and when the data is deemed to be "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant or excessive". So for example, John Doe wants to remove the historic information that he used to own porn.com which he doesn't anymore.
However, I do not think it's clear that you have to delete the data for the current owner of porn.com due to his or hers need for privacy as long as they have collect the information lawfully.
As an actual advice to the people at security trails I would recommend they put up clear instructions on how to request a data erasure from their database. Like "Email erasure@securitytrails.com to request removal of your personal information" and what information they need to delete it.

#95GoDaddy is now masking _all_ DNS info whether you pay for their "privacy" service or not, so thats making a substantial black hole in this data
The cynic in me thinks they probably sell that data now.

suggestions on how to make it more effective for your use case?

can you give an example?

#99Very nice! Also... scary.

#100Must say, I'm not a fan of yours or similar services, or whois databases for that matter. Privacy should be easier on the internet for people owning domain names.
Why do you think privacy should be easier for domain owners? Shouldn't it instead be easy for a visitor to find out who owns the domain and is responsible (content, technical or legal) for a certain site?
Not everyone needs to know my home address. Especially not for a domain I use for emails.
Way too many weird people out there.
