Nope, you can either choose the full blown whois privacy, or you can choose to have your name show as the owner with their privacy info. Either way, it's free

Is Namecheap doing something wrong here with LegitScript.com ?

Beware: eNom and NameCheap Suspend domains based on bogus claims by a fake company (referring again to LegitScript.com)

A backgrounder on LegitScript.com from a GFY perspective:

In short, NameCheap heavily utilizes eNom for new registrations and transfer-ins. It's highly likely when using NameCheap, you would actually be an eNom customer!

Having your domains, in effect, with eNom may be risky depending on the nature of your websites and the level of privacy and security you desire. There are many other better registrar choices, such as the off-shore one mentioned several times above.

This is like the 4th time you've copy/pasted this on gfy. I'm not saying this isn't an issue if you have pharmacy websites but the issue is with Enom, not namecheap. Namecheap actually got them to implement a 10 day period where you can transfer your domain instead of just having it suspended. I don't think they like the Legitscript policy any more than you do.
