Newby Domain Protection Question

Hello All!
I've been finally able to begin my Online Marketing Career.
So for the last several months I've been studying all I can.

Two months ago, I purchased a Domain that came with the Private Registration Option. So I purchased that option also.
I recently purchased another Domain. This time, I actually read all the fine print and was unpleasantly surprised to find out that with the Private Registration Option, I am no longer the Registrant of the Domain name I purchased!

The specific Proxy Agreement wording (Company Acronym changed to XXX) is:
XXX's name and postal address as Registrant of the domain name, technical contact, administrative contact, and billing contact.

Does this mean I no longer own the Domain?
In my limited time, I've learned to always make sure I own my own Domains.
Should I be concerned? Don't want to make a mistake at the start.
Joseph

    No it just means your personal information won't show up if someone tries to find out who owns the domain name. I don't ever use the privacy option because I don't mind my name being associated with the sites I own.

      Thanks for the reply.
      They always say "Personal Information".
      Is that more than just your name?

        Yes it usually includes your physical address, phone number, email address, etc.
