Answer
Most of these companies will give out your hidden info at the first request. At least enom does so, I've read somewhere they give out info to any request that mentions the word "infringement". I've also heard there are sites that watch and gather whois updates, inclusive the very first registration data before whois privacy has been activated. They sell then this info to whoever pays.
If you want privacy use fake info. But then you are traceable via payment operations.
So the answer to your question, in the long run that will not be possible.
