From what I know, at least in my country, this is the case. Additionally, in the case of Google Domains, nothing is stopping you from migrating your domains to some other registry right now, before they get transferred over to Squarespace.

One could argue that having your data with Google is more damaging to one’s privacy than having it with any other company, considering that Googles business model is the selling of ads based on your data, but that’s besides the point here.

I haven't fleshed out the thought, but I've always thought it would be ideal if you were able to keep control of your data at all times.

You have a record of your details secured with locally stored biometrics and systems can reference that data with your consent (and an audit history) That way you don't need hundreds of accounts just to order food, products etc.

So the third-party never knows who you are, or where you're located, but are able to use your location by referencing your location record. That way they don't need to store any data about you.
