Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This policy explains how DNSLookupTool.net ("we", "us", "the site") handles information in connection with your use of this website, in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), and the UK Data Protection Act 2018.

Who we are

DNSLookupTool.net is operated by [Your Company / Trading Name]. For any privacy question or request, contact us at info@dnslookuptool.net.

What information we process

Lookups you submit

When you use a DNS, reverse-IP, NS, MX, SSL or DNS-health tool, the domain or IP address you enter is sent to our server to perform a live lookup against the public DNS system (or, for SSL, a direct connection to the target server). This information is used only to generate your result and is not stored after the request completes.

Password tools

The Password Generator and Password Strength Checker run entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you type into these tools is ever sent to our server. The Password Encryption tool does send the text you submit to our server to compute a hash, for that single request only — it is not logged or stored.

Server logs

Like virtually all websites, our hosting infrastructure automatically records standard web server logs for security and reliability purposes — typically including your IP address, browser user-agent, the page requested, and the time of the request. These logs are used to detect abuse, maintain service security, and diagnose technical issues, and are retained only for a limited period before being rotated or deleted.

Cookies

DNSLookupTool.net does not currently set any analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. See our Cookie Policy for full details, including what would change if that ever changes.

Legal basis for processing (UK/EU GDPR)

Where server logs or lookup requests involve personal data (such as an IP address), we rely on legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK/EU GDPR) — specifically, keeping the service secure, reliable, and free from abuse — as the legal basis for that limited processing.

Sharing of information

We do not sell personal data. Information may be processed by our hosting provider strictly as necessary to operate the website. We do not share lookup data with third parties for marketing purposes.

International transfers

If our hosting infrastructure is located outside the UK or European Economic Area, any transfer of personal data is made with appropriate safeguards as required by UK/EU GDPR.

Data retention

Lookup requests themselves are not retained. Standard server logs are kept only for a limited, routinely rotated period, sufficient for security and diagnostic purposes, and are not used for profiling or marketing.

Your rights

Under UK/EU GDPR, you have the right to:

• Request access to personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate personal data
• Request erasure of your personal data
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Request data portability, where applicable
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)

To exercise any of these rights, contact info@dnslookuptool.net.

Children's privacy

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
