I get this question sometimes. This is why it's worth protecting your personal information when registering a domain.
Okay. What's domain privacy?!
It's simple all your sensitive information such as: Name, address, phone number, etc got hide from Whois Records. That mean if someone cannot see your private informations.
Here if you add domain privacy you'll see something like this:

Namecheap: First year free, next year $2.88 per year.
What's the "Pros"?!
- Avoid get flooded by spam.
- Avoid to get unwanted phone calls. Read this blog about a real story fromBrenda.
- Hides your personal information from public view in WHOIS records.
Conclusion
It's entirely up to you if you want to add that feature. Namecheap give you a free year in the first year if you buy a domain with them. You can try. :)
In my point of view, I recommend add private domain registration.
What do you think?! I'd love you to comment.
Thank you
