    That website is hosted in the United States.
    You can find out the website IP, then find out who hosts them.
    Once you do that, try to contact their host explaining what you want taken off and why.

    If for some reason they do not comply, then you must get a lawyer to enforce them to take off your information.

    Best of luck.

    Report them for what?

    So your complaint is that they chose to list it in plain text? I am not aware of any rules, certainly that apply internationally, that say one cannot put public whois information into plain text. The information in whois is public, so showing it is plain text seems not to invade anyone's privacy since the information is readily available.

    Oh yeah, and doesn't digitalpoint's own whois tool show the result in plain text?

    Unless you are paying for a private WHOIS to hide your address etc, then there is nothing wrong with that website.
