... our company is a GDPR compliant. Therefore, all customers who have domains and accounts with us must comply with the said policy as well. If you wish to publish your personal information as the owner of the domain for the public to see, you can out your information on your website instead.

_____________________________GDPR compliant is a euphemism for mindlessly rolling over to a European bureaucracy that is beyond the jurisdiction of the United States and has momentum to intimidate U.S. tech companies in ways big and small, dumb and dumber.
1&1 IONOS has a setting for domains that it hosts asking the domain owner if the registration and administration information should be public or private. However, that setting must be left over from before GDPR added it to its sphere of influence. Now, no matter what the domain owner wants, the domain owner information will not be made public for a Whois search. The public/private setting deep inside the domain settings at 1&1 IONOS is irrelevant.
1&1 IONOS never notified its customers about this and the matter is little known or understood inside 1&1 IONOS. All they do is act like robots and repeat that 1&1 IONOS is GDPR compliant.
