    My host provides free domain privacy which prevents anyone from seeing my personal information in the Whois data.

    Are SEs going to be more suspect of sites that don't include their personal contact information in the Whois data?

    I've not heard anywhere that this would hurt your placement in the serps with any major search engine.

    I highly doubt that's true. I wouldn't worry about it.
