While I *thought* I had this enabled apparently it wasn't, and I can't prove it was. With Network Solutions, GoDaddy, and the other registrars I've used, privacy is always automatically added, and you have to explicitly opt out of it for renewal. That's the only way it makes sense. It's a fairly narrow percentage who would register for an initial period with privacy, then renew without it?
Even if you re-add the privacy after it's lapsed if it was made public even for a day outfits like DomainTools will have cached the ownership info. Anyone willing to pay for their extended service can get a domain ownership history, and it will include your private information.
