We'll be upgrading Private Registration to something even better.
The EU's new data privacy regulation (GDPR) is changing the way personal information must be handled, including the way information related to your domain registration is published in the WHOIS database. Click here if you'd like to learn more about GDPR.
We care about your privacy, so we're going to upgrade Private Registration to Full Domain Privacy and Protection by the end of June, at no additional cost to you. It will include these features to protect your domain and private information:
•
Protects against active threats like domain hijackers and malicious transfers.
•
Prevents data from being accessed by 3rd parties, reducing your data footprint and risk of exposure.
•
Hides even more personal information than GDPR regulations require.
•
Safeguards you from honest mistakes like accidental transfer or expired credit cards.
The following domains are scheduled for a free upgrade:*
xxx.xxx
The best part? You don't need to take any action at all. We're going to take care of the upgrade for you.
Sincerely,
GoDaddy Privacy Team
P.S. If you'd prefer not to upgrade to Full Domain Privacy and Protection, please click here. A refund will be issued for the remaining Private Registration term.

So it looks like they claim their paid privacy feature is even better now and they encourage customers to still pay for it. Instead of just letting it go and making it free service like almost every other registrar does.
