Privacy Policy

Short version:We don't log DNS queries, we don't store your IP address, and we don't run third-party tracking scripts.

DNS lookups

When you use the DNS Lookup tool, the request is processed by our server and forwarded to a public DNS resolver. We do not persist the query, your IP, or the response.

What Is My IP

We detect your IP from request headers and forward it to ip-api.com for geolocation. The IP address and lookup result are returned to your browser and are not stored on our servers.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics on every page. Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless, does not track individuals across sites, and does not collect IP addresses. It aggregates Core Web Vitals (LCP, FCP, TTFB) and per-page request counts at the edge, with no client-side identifier emitted to the browser. The data lives in our Cloudflare account and is used only to monitor site health and prioritize improvements. See Cloudflare's privacy policy for how Cloudflare handles the data they process on our behalf.

If Plausible is enabled (it is currently disabled on this site), Plausible Analytics is also cookieless, does not use IP addresses, and does not build cross-site profiles. See plausible.io/data-policy for details.

Data retention

We do not maintain a database of user activity. The server logs from the Cloudflare edge and our application layer are retained for 30 days for operational debugging (uptime, error tracking, abuse mitigation) and then deleted. Logs are not linked to identifiable user profiles and are not shared with third parties other than as required by law.

Audit results are not cached. When you run a security audit against a domain, the responses are returned to your browser and not stored; a fresh request rebuilds the result every time.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies and may use web beacons (small transparent graphic images) to collect information in the course of ads being served. The information collected may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and timestamps of your visits.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Opting out
