Privacy Policy

Welcome to ConfirmDomain.com ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information when you use our website and tools at confirmdomain.com.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

When you use our tools (domain checker, WHOIS lookup, DNS lookup, etc.), you input domain names, IP addresses, or email addresses into our search fields. We do not store these queries on our servers. They are sent directly to third-party APIs to retrieve results and are not logged or retained by us.

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain technical information including:

• Your browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring website URL
• Pages visited and time spent on our site
• General geographic location (country/region level, not precise)

This information is collected through Google Analytics and Google AdSense (see below) and is used solely to understand how our tools are used and to improve the service.

2. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies. These include:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function properly (e.g., remembering your recent searches locally in your browser).
• Analytics cookies: Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous usage data. You can opt out via Google Analytics Opt-out.
• Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses cookies to display relevant advertisements. These may track your interests across websites.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.

3. Google AdSense & Advertising

ConfirmDomain.com uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense is a service provided by Google LLC.

Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. 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.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies by visiting aboutads.info.

For more information about how Google uses data when you use our partner's sites or apps, see: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

4. Third-Party APIs We Use

Our tools send your search queries to the following third-party services to retrieve results. Each has its own privacy policy:

• Google Public DNS (dns.google) — Privacy Policy
• Cloudflare DNS (cloudflare-dns.com) — Privacy Policy
• RDAP.org — Domain registration data (public RDAP protocol)
• ipapi.co — IP geolocation — Privacy Policy
• Qualys SSL Labs — SSL certificate analysis — Terms of Service

We do not control the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their policies.

5. Affiliate Links

This website contains affiliate links to domain registrars including Namecheap, GoDaddy, Hostinger, IONOS, Porkbun, and Dynadot. When you click these links and make a purchase, we may receive a commission. The affiliate companies may use cookies to track referrals. Their data practices are governed by their respective privacy policies.

6. Data Storage & Security

ConfirmDomain.com does not operate a database of user-submitted domain queries. We do not store, sell, or share any domain names, IP addresses, or email addresses you search for.

Any data stored locally (such as recent searches) is stored entirely in your browser's localStorage on your own device. We cannot access this data.

We implement standard security measures to protect our website infrastructure. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure.

7. Children's Privacy

ConfirmDomain.com is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights including:

• GDPR (EU/EEA): Right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, data portability, and object to processing.
• CCPA (California): Right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale of personal information.
• UK GDPR: Similar rights as GDPR above.

Since we do not collect personal data beyond what third-party services (Google, etc.) collect via cookies, most rights requests should be directed to those services. For any questions, contact us at privacy@confirmdomain.com.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
