    Looking at this from a provider perspective: <br>
    I cannot see how this could be guaranteed. A domain transferred to
    another registrar may enjoy the same level of protection, but it may
    not. A bulk transfer may even result in the domain name registration
    being forced entirely out of privacy protection, for example if the
    new registrar does not offer that service and the previous provider
    only services selected registrars.<br>
