i see they provide WHOIS privacy for free, great! i'm worried about exposing my personal information on the internet.

do people really put their personal address there?

WHOIS privacy is actually mandatory and has been for years, it should be free on any registrar, otherwise you’re being scammed.

You have to provide real data when registering your domain name for KYC purposes (if you lie your domain could get suspended) but it won’t be exposed anywhere anymore unless you opt in to make it public.
