  WordPress.com blogs are free to register. You can set your blog to private by going to Settings ->Reading in your dashboard. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  If you’re talking about Private Registration when purchasing a custom domain, that is optional, but if you don’t pay for Private Registration all the contact information you use to register your domain, including your real name and home address, will be visible to anyone doing a whois lookup on your domain.
