So what does "Identity Protect Limited" do? One might guess that it protects the actual identity of a company or person which/who does not want that information publicly available.

In fact, I found this from a private person:

I have a UK domain name which is used for family members email and web pages. When I registered the name I was given the option to 'opt out' of having my contact details displayed when anyone does a whois search on the Nominet site.

I now see that although my details are not displayed the domain is now allocated to 'Identity Protect Limited'. It would seem that either Nominet or my Domain Provider are using this company to provide privacy services and their name and address appear as the owner of the domain.
