If you are transferring away your domain name from ResellerClub, you need to first disable Privacy Protection and then place a Transfer request at the Registrar of your choice.
Depending upon whether the Privacy Protection feature is available for a TLD or not, the Order Details view of your domain name may or may not display the Privacy Protection status, under Order Information.

If Privacy Protection is available for your domain name, then you would see the following status:
- Privacy Protection: Enabled
  
  This indicates that the Privacy Protection feature has been turned on for your domain name and your personal Contact Details are not being displayed in the Whois of your domain name.
- Privacy Protection: Disabled
  
  This indicates that the Privacy Protection feature has been turned off for your domain name and your personal Contact Details are being displayed in the Whois of your domain name.
If the domain name is Locked by ResellerClub, it needs to be first Unlocked by ResellerClub, before you can proceed with the Bulk Privacy Protection.
If the domain name is Locked by you, you may proceed with the Bulk Privacy Protection without Unlocking it.
If the domain name is Suspended by ResellerClub, it needs to be first Unsuspended, before you can proceed with the Bulk Privacy Protection.
