There certainly is. It is a matter of priority. But who determines
whether privacy or security should have the priority? It may be very
helpful to have the mobile telephone number of the lady across the
street, when her house is on fire. Still, it is her decision not to
make it available to us.

Owners of servers can moreover be tracked via IP numbers. Security is
usually, I think, more related to a server than a domain.
