Don't almost all domain registrars offer privacy protection for free these days. In many cases it's just on by default and you have to actively opt out of it.

I'd also say that in cases where you are running a business rather than just a personal site, it can help your company reputation and identity to actually not have privacy turned on, but make it clear that the domain is actually associated with the company.

There's a lot of misinformation in this post that I don't agree with;

As it totally gives your hosting safety shield to protect and safeguard your website.

Privacy Protection doesn't protect hosting safety or website safeguards. Privacy Protection hides the registered owner of the domain name. This doesn't protect a website in any form.

As a good domain privacy protection can help you to take care of spammy services that can mislead your website to some spammy links or websites.

Again, nothing to do with links or websites. There is no way to "mislead your website", which I assume means redirections(?). Either way, it doesn't do that.

shield and prevents your domain from being stolen or been theft

Nothing to do with theft. Yes, it's possible you could use the information in a phishing scheme, but that has nothing to do with privacy protection, that has to do with best business practices and knowing who handles what information. But it does not, in any way, "prevent your domain from being stolen."

As @John @ S4 mentioned, Domain Protection can be useful when running a business. Your information is available to be found and validated. It doesn't help with SEO etc, but can be used to see business transparency.

In most cases when we work with clients, we advise them to use their business address. The Domain Registration information can also be used by legal teams or those that need to get ahold of the business.

Other spam filtering etc can be put in place to block spam and malicious emails, but these are unrelated to Domain Privacy.

WRONG

What is Domain Privacy Protection?​

Nine out of 10 IT professionals believe their company’s personal data is susceptible to cyberattacks and data breaches at any time, no matter how careful they are. One added layer of protection that many IT decision makers use to their advantage is domain privacy protection. When you are registering a domain name, your personal information is stored in a Whois (pronounced as the phrase “who is”) database. A Whois directory contains your personal information (like your address and phone numbers, domain name and internet protocol (IP) address). The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) regulates domain name registration and ownership.
Based on your domain registration, domain hijackers can infiltrate the Whois database, identify you as a website owner and capture your private information and personal data. Domain privacy protection is offered by domain registrars to protect your personal data in the Whois records from unauthorized people. Investing in this service will ensure that your personal information is hidden from public view to keep it private and protect you from identity theft.
