Do I have domain or WHOIS privacy with Squarespace?
Yes, you do. Because Whois records are public, spam marketers often crawl them for email addresses. Many domain registrars offer services called "domain privacy," "Whois protection," or “private registration” that remove your personal contact information from the Whois record. Squarespace automatically includes this free domain privacy for all Squarespace-managed domains except for some country-code TLDs.

For information about how to use contact privacy, see the ContactPrivacy section in the reference documentation.

Thankfully I bought 10 years for $120 before the switch so hopefully that saves me for 10 yrs before I leave square space domains ... Set up a google (squarespace) domain and create a Gmail account using that domain. I can now only receive and not send emails.
