Based on an incident last year I can say some whois privacy services are not too private; i.e. I received email from Moniker saying in view if the fact they received a complaint letter from an alleged trademark owner they plan to release my whois privacy information to the 3rd party (this was all based on a simple letter mailed to Moniker and not involving a wipo case or court case).

P.S. Incredibly, the domain at issue did not even have Whois privacy on it making it even more amazing.
