Hiding other sites you run

I remember there was a time when it was very easy to find all the sites a person had, by just putting one known site into some whois type sites that were out there. I've checked around and couldn't find anything like that currently. Is that still a thing, or is it now hard to find other sites connected to the same people, by just knowing one? I ask because, I run one site that is a biz basically conducted at home. Google and some other orgs seem hellbent to try and put up pictures of my home and other personal stuff that I do not want showing. I decided I was going to pay to go private on that domain's info. But will people just be able to find my other sites and get the info of those? Thanks.

Since GDPR, most all the IP & domain look-up services have removed personal identifying information.

So when Google does dumb stuff like posting pics and maps of your house, or a mail box shop, as your business... where are they getting that address from? I've never signed up for their business listing thing.

AI? Rather it is deep search of PUBLIC RECORDS most likely posted for street maps or licenses. AI not required.

It was obvious I was joking ... Also nowadays, company are putting AI in everything, even if it has nothing to do with any form of intelligence , ... and AI is convenient to hide what you are doing, ... claim you do not collect and compile personal information and explain that it's the magical AI guessing...

There's still the Google Analytics users having GA on all their sites. The method is merely searching on the UA number.

The alternative is not using GA on sites you want to 'hide' as being associated with you.
